Delete your data
On your phone
Everything the keyboard learns and keeps — learned words, saved corrections, clipboard history, settings, custom modes, and an AI key if you entered one — is in the app's private storage on your device. To delete it:
- Some of it: Typesmith → Settings → Learned words: remove any word, or Remove all, which also clears the corrections it saved. Clipboard items go with the clipboard panel's delete buttons.
- All of it, keeping the app: Android Settings → Apps → Typesmith → Storage → Clear storage.
- All of it: uninstall Typesmith. Android removes the app's storage with it.
In your backups
Two kinds of copy can exist outside the phone. Both are yours; we hold neither and cannot delete them for you.
- Android's backup. If Backup is on in your phone's settings, your Google account holds a copy of Typesmith's settings and custom modes and, when that backup is end-to-end encrypted with your screen lock, of your learned words (the privacy policy lists exactly what). Uninstalling Typesmith does not remove that copy, and Android restores it if you install Typesmith again. You can see and delete your backups in your Google account, and turn Backup off in your phone's settings so that no new one is made; Google's help page has the steps. To keep learned words out of it from now on, use the switch under Typesmith → Settings → Backup & restore.
- Backup files you saved are wherever you put them; delete them there. One saved with a passphrase cannot be read without it. One saved without a passphrase can be read by anyone who has the file.
On our server
If you never used Typesmith AI, our server holds nothing about you at all.
If you did, it holds your install's account — a random identifier, its credit balance, today's ad count, a ledger of balance changes — and, with a subscription, a hashed identifier of the subscription, its status and expiry, and daily usage counts (see the privacy policy). These are deleted on their own — the account a year after it was last used, the ledger after 90 days, subscription records 90 days after the subscription was last active, usage counts after 30 days — or sooner on request:
- Cancel the subscription in Google Play if there is one still active, so nothing new is written.
- Email support@focusdot.dev with the install ID shown in Typesmith → Settings → AI under the plan (copy it before you uninstall), and, for a subscription, the order number from your Google Play receipt (it starts with
GPA.). We need them to find your records; we hold no name or email to search by. - We delete the account, its ledger, the subscription record and the usage counts, and confirm by reply, within 30 days and usually within a few.
Google Play keeps its own record of the purchase under Google's privacy policy; we can't delete that, and you can manage it in your Google account.
Anything sent to an AI
Text you sent to an AI feature was forwarded to the provider and not kept by our server. With your own key, the provider's own retention applies (OpenAI's API retains data for up to 30 days for abuse monitoring, then deletes it). With Typesmith AI, the same applies at the provider we use; we hold nothing.
