Data Deletion Page

Generate the data-deletion URL App Store Review Guideline 5.1.1(v) requires for any iOS app with accounts. Hosted at a public URL, ready for App Store Connect.

Apple’s Guideline 5.1.1(v) requires that apps supporting account creation must also support account deletion. OrbitKit generates a hosted page that explains your deletion process.

In the Dashboard, fill out the Data Deletion section:

  • Supports Accounts — Whether your app has user accounts. If your app doesn’t have accounts, the page explains that no account deletion is needed.
  • Deletion Methods — Check which methods you support: In-App, By Email, or Web Form.
  • Contact Email — If “By Email” is selected, provide the email address for deletion requests.
  • Web Form URL — If “Web Form” is selected, provide the URL of your deletion request form.
  • Deletion Steps — Add step-by-step instructions for how users can delete their account in-app (up to 10 steps).
  • Deletion Timeline — How long it takes to process a deletion request (e.g., “within 30 days”).
  • Data Retained — Optionally explain any data you’re required to retain after deletion (e.g., transaction records for tax compliance).
  • Additional Info — Any other information about your deletion process.

After deploying, your deletion page is available at sites.orbitkit.io/your-slug/delete.
