1. Delete Switchmate Account through Email

There are 2 methods to get your data (and account) deleted by Switchmate:

1. Under GDPR: EU/UK Residents have the right to ask (via email), an organization that holds data about them to delete it. This is known as the ‘right to erasure’. Organizations have one month to respond to the request.


2. Under CCPA: California residents have the right to request that a company delete the data/personal information it has on them. A failure to comply with this will result in a fine of upto $7,500.

Now you understand what the Law says, Send your Request directly to Switchmate using the form below:

Alternatively, you can follow these steps below to get Switchmate to delete your account/data:

2. How to Delete Switchmate on Iphone

1. On iphone, Goto "Settings "
2. Click on "General" » "Iphone Storage".
3. Select the app, and click "Delete Switchmate".

3. Delete Switchmate on Android phone

1. Go to your Android phone Settings.
2. Click on "Apps & Games".
3. Select "Switchmate" and Click "Uninstall".

1. You can click the Microphone icon in the app and simply say your command - voice activation tries to first match by the switch name that shows in your list of devices (and you can change under Device Settings), but if it can't find that it will try to match to the location you selected when you first setup your Switchmate(s).

2. - Location Permissions are unfortunately required for BLE by Android - we're huge on privacy and unfortunately there is no way around not requiring Location to be enabled on Android because we cannot scan for BLE devices without it, and that is why the app will not function without it.

3. Beyond that we do use location data only when Welcome Home is enabled so we can tell you're nearing home in order to optimize battery (so we're not looking for Switchmates all the time!).

4. This data is often cached from other apps and we simply grab that data so in most cases we aren't making new location checks - and that data is NEVER transmitted off your phone/to us at all.

5. Connect, Configure & Control Switchmate, SWMbright/Slim, SWMpower, Zip, Cube Camera, and our future devices all in one place.

6. - Background Service & Waking your device permissions are also used for Welcome Home so we can ping your Switchmate to let it know you're home without the app needing to be open.

7. - Bluetooth & WiFi permissions are required for communicating with your Switchmate devices.

8. - Grouping: Create & control groups of devices together.
