Deleting things in AppsFlyer

Some privacy regulations, such as GDPR or CCPA, give users a right to erasure.

Scenario: A user requests that you delete data related to them. GDPR requires that this be done within 30 days. 

Action required: Use OpenGDPR API to send an erasure request.

AppsFlyer collects install and event information for your configured media sources. If a media source is configured for attribution, new installs are attributed.

Scenario: If you stop running campaigns on a media source, no clicks, impressions, or installs, then attribution stops. However, the in-app events of existing users continue to be recorded and attributed.

Acton required to stop attributing installs to a media source:

• SRN: Remove your credentials from the integrated partner's configuration page.
• Non-SRN:
  • Make sure that ads displayed to leads no longer contain an AppsFlyer attribution.
  • Removing your credentials from the integrated partner's setup page is insufficient. Incoming clicks and installs continue to be recorded and attributed.
• Owned media:
  • Discontinue using relevant OneLink custom links

Delete an app

Deleting an app makes it invisible in the dashboard and stops the platform from recording app-related data. 

To delete an app:

1. Go to My Apps.
2. Select an app action menu. 
3. Click Delete, then confirm.
   The app is deleted and no longer displays in the app list.

After deletion of the app:

• It remains associated with the account but is invisible.
• It can be re-added, making it visible with its associated historical data, including elements like app settings, approved agencies, and tokens.

To purge (permanently delete) an app from your account:

• Reach out to your CSM or send an email to hello@appsflyer.com, and a customer engagement manager (CEM) will contact you.
