Delete your barValid account

This page covers the user account of the app barValid – GS1 Barcode scanner & Verifier (com.barValid.app), provided by Harald Kofler, Missianerweg 40, 39057 Missian (BZ), Italy. An account is only needed for barValid satellite and the license dashboard — scanning and validating barcodes works without one.

1. Delete in the app

The quickest way, the deletion takes effect immediately:

  • Open the app and go to the Satellite section from the menu
  • In the “Signed in as …” card, tap Delete account
  • Enter your password to confirm and choose Delete permanently

2. Request deletion by email

If you no longer have the app installed, send an email to info.barvalid@gmail.com with the subject “Delete account”. Please write from the registered email address — that serves as the identity check, we do not ask for any further proof. We process the request within 30 days and confirm the deletion by email.

3. Which data is deleted

Profile: name, email address, password irreversibly anonymised or deleted
Code structures stored on the server and their shares deleted
Access to the license dashboard removed
Newsletter subscription ended

After the deletion signing in is no longer possible. Scans and history kept only on your device are not affected — remove those in the app itself or by uninstalling it.

4. Which data is kept

Purchase and invoice data for volume licenses you bought (name, email, license data) statutory retention period, as a rule 10 years under commercial and tax law, then deleted — Art. 17(3)(b) GDPR
Server logs (they contain the email address for sign-in and sign-up events, among others) 30 days at most, then deleted automatically

Purchases of the Pro version are handled through Google Play. Order and subscription data is held there by Google and managed via your Google Play account; please cancel a running subscription separately in the Play Store.

5. Signing up again

You can register again with the same email address at any time. That creates a new, empty account — the data of the deleted account is not restored.

6. Contact

Questions about the deletion or your other data subject rights: info.barvalid@gmail.com. Details on the processing are in the privacy policy.
