Export and delete your SIX records
Exporting and deleting are different actions. Check the scope and keep a copy only if you need one.
Who this guide is for: People moving their records or ending use of the service.
1. Review the storage locations
A signed-in account stores import history, counts, preferences and support requests; pseudonymous relationship keys, evidence and timestamps; and introduction and consent states. Optional features also store saved searches, team sharing and integration records. Display names, importance marks, hidden people, corrections and goals stay in this browser's encrypted storage. If encryption is unavailable, names are not persisted. These records do not automatically move to another device.
2. Export to a safe location
JSON combines device records with account records retrieved successfully. It can contain device display names. CSV and VCF focus on people and omit support requests and detailed activity. If the account request fails, check the device-only export warning. Confirm the signed-in account and read the completion message before relying on the file.
3. Check deletion results
Delete my data clears this device and requests deletion of signed-in account data. Device data may be cleared even if the server request fails; read the result. Downloaded copies, other devices and the sign-in provider's account need separate action.
4. Clean up shared-device copies
Sign out and separately remove downloaded files you no longer need. Deleting SIX data does not delete your sign-in provider's account. Shared team records can have a different scope, and ownership may pass to a remaining member. If server deletion fails, retry only after reading the reported state.
