June 30 is the deadline for adding in app account deletion.
I'm unclear whether the app I work on counts as creating an account in the app.
We have several user onboarding flows.
One flow we prepopulate a users profile using a CVS upload to our backend. We provide a deep link that requires the user to set a password in the app, and they can edit some of their prepopulated data. Once they submit they are profile complete.
In other flows we provide a deep link that just has the user's email/phone number and the user's name. We use this to prepopulate a form. The user is asked to select some profile details in this flow as well as provide a password. In this flow the user awaits approval before they can start using the app.
All users can edit profile details once their account is created and once the profile details are all provided.
So, does this count as in app account creation that warrants an in app account deletion flow?
How do I get a definitive answer to this question?
Thanx.

Add a CommentThere is an FAQ about Offering Account Deletion in Your App, that covers your scenario. Look for the section about "guest accounts".
Just wanted to clarify, these are not guest accounts, but invites created by an organization's admin user using web-app so they can access information posted by the organization on the mobile app. The mobile user is completing the profile via deep link to set password and/or provide additional optional information.
