Account

Three actions.

Reset data
Bïndo syncs your sightings and lists in the background. If your numbers look out of step and have not recovered after a few hours in a good signal area, Reset data will force a fresh download of everything from the server. Requires a connection.

Log out
Signs you out on this device. When you sign back in, use the same email and sign-in method as before. If your sightings appear to be missing after sign-in, you most likely signed in with a different email or social sign-in (Apple, Google) than the one you originally used.

Delete account
Permanently deletes your account and removes your personal information and identifiable sighting data from Bïndo's servers. You will be asked to type a confirmation phrase before it proceeds. Requires a connection.
