You can delete your Foursquare account yourself â this is a self-service process (rated easy â most people can do it in a few minutes). After deletion: loss of account data; inability to access app features.
Your account will be deleted within 30 days of your request.
No, once your account is deleted, it cannot be recovered.
Foursquare does not publish a retention period for closed accounts. If the timeline matters to you, ask Foursquare support for written confirmation of when your data is removed, and what is retained for legal or accounting reasons.
The stated recovery window is 30 days. Once that passes the deletion is permanent and the account cannot be restored.
Deleting your account means: Loss of account data; Inability to access app features. Export or download anything you want to keep before you begin â it is normally not recoverable afterwards.
Have the following ready: username; password. Having it to hand avoids getting part-way through the flow and having to start again.
Foursquare is recorded as GDPR compliant and recorded as CCPA compliant. If you are in the EU or California you can also file a formal erasure request under GDPR Article 17 or the CCPA â that route creates a record you can follow up on, separately from the in-product delete flow.
Common alternatives include Yelp, Google Maps, TripAdvisor. If you are switching because of how Foursquare handles your data, check the replacement's retention and deletion policy before you migrate.
