Pellmoor — patient app
Delete your account
You can delete your Pellmoor account at any time. Deleting your account is free, and you never have to call anyone or explain why.
In the app
Open the Pellmoor app, go to Account, and choose Delete my account. You will be asked for your password and a typed confirmation, because deleting an account cannot be undone. It takes effect immediately.
If you no longer have the app, or cannot sign in
Email privacy@pellmoorhealth.com from any address and ask us to delete your account.
We will verify who you are before we act on the request. That step is not bureaucracy — without it, anyone who knew your email address could close your account or reach your health information. Expect us to complete a verified request within 30 days, and usually much sooner.
What is deleted
- Your sign-in credentials and second factor
- Every active session, on every device
- Your recurring membership billing
- Your ability to sign in to this account
What is kept, and why
Your account and your medical record are different things. We are not permitted to destroy your medical record on request — the state you were treated in requires us to keep it, and then we destroy it on schedule.
| Kept | For how long |
|---|---|
| Your medical record | Illinois 10 years · Indiana 7 years · New York 6 years |
| Payment records | As tax and accounting law requires |
| Audit logs of who accessed your record | 6 years, as HIPAA requires |
Get a copy first
Deleting your account removes your way of signing in, so download your record before you delete if you want your own copy. You can do that from My record in the app or the patient portal, free, in a standard electronic format. Afterwards you can still request a copy, or ask us to send it to another clinician at no charge, by writing to privacy@pellmoorhealth.com.
Cancelling your membership is not the same as deleting your account, and neither one ends your clinical relationship by itself — see our financial policy and terms. Questions about your record go to privacy@pellmoorhealth.com.
