To delete your account:

    • All data associated with your account
  4. Type DELETE (all caps) to confirm
  5. Click Delete Account

You’ll be logged out immediately and your data will be permanently removed.

Before deleting:

  • Export any timelines you want to keep
  • Download any documents you need
  • Consider whether you just need a break (you can always sign out without deleting)

We require an email address to verify your account ownership in the following cases:

  • Account recovery: Handle password resets if you lose access to your account
  • Identity verification: Verify your identity when you contact us with account-related requests (particularly for account deletion or subscription changes)
  • Product updates: Occasionally send product updates (which you can disable in your notification settings or unsubscribe directly from the email)

Privacy note: You can use an anonymous email provider such as SimpleLogin with Thea—it’s up to you what email address you want to use. Thea does not need your personal information, and the above requirements are just the bare minimums needed to operate a secure subscription service.

  • All your data is encrypted at rest
  • Documents are securely stored in the cloud
  • Only you can access your projects and timelines
  • Thea staff cannot view your documents or timelines
  • Uploaded documents are processed securely
  • Text extraction happens in isolated environments
  • Embeddings are stored securely and tied to your account
  • Documents are never used for training models or shared

Best practices:

  • Use a strong, unique password
  • Don’t share your login credentials
  • Sign out on shared computers
  • Change your password if you suspect it’s compromised

Coming soon: Email notifications for:

  • Timeline updates
