Data Deletion

Effective {EFFECTIVE_DATE}

You can delete your {SERVICE} account and the personal data associated with it at any time. This page explains exactly how to request deletion, what we delete, what we keep, and how long the process takes.

Self-service deletion from within your profile settings is planned and will be added in a future release. Until then, please use the email process below — we will process every valid request within {SLA_DAYS} days.

  1. Send an email from the email address registered with your account to{" "} {CONTACT_EMAIL} .

    Sending from your registered email helps us verify the request is genuinely yours. If you signed up through Google or Facebook, send the email from the address linked to that provider.

  2. Use the subject line:{" "} Delete my account

  3. In the body of the email, include:

    • The email address registered with your account.
    • Your account handle, if you remember it.
    • (Optional) The reason for deletion — this helps us improve the Service, but you do not need to share it.
  4. We will reply to confirm we have received your request, typically within 2 business days, and again once the deletion is complete.

Once we verify your request, we permanently delete the following within {SLA_DAYS} days:

  • Your user account (email address, name, handle, password hash, avatar URL, role, reading preferences, and account timestamps).
  • Any linked third-party sign-in identities (Google, Facebook). The provider is the source of truth for your account with them; you can revoke that link from the provider as well.
  • Your avatar image stored in our object storage.
  • Your posts, bookmarks, collections, and short share links.
  • Any outstanding password-reset or email-verification tokens.

Records linked to your user identifier via foreign keys are removed via cascade or set to a deleted-user placeholder at the same time.

A small amount of information may be retained after account deletion, in line with the law and the legitimate operation of the Service:

  • Feedback messages you submitted are retained after deletion, but the link to your user identifier is removed (so the message remains as anonymous product feedback).
  • Server and security logs {" "} may contain references to your activity for a short operational window (typically 30 days) before they are deleted or anonymised. These logs are not used to reconstruct your account.
  • Records we are legally required to retain {" "} — for example, in connection with a pending legal claim, regulatory request, or tax/accounting requirement — will be kept only for as long as the law requires and then deleted.
  • Backups taken before your deletion request are encrypted and rotate out on a regular schedule. Your data will be overwritten as backups roll, typically within 30 days.
  • Within 2 business days {" "} — we acknowledge your request.
  • Within {SLA_DAYS} days {" "} — we complete the deletion in our active systems and send you a confirmation email.
  • Up to 30 days after{" "} — residual copies in encrypted backups roll out as part of our normal backup retention schedule.

Deleting your {SERVICE} account does not automatically remove your account with Google or Facebook. To remove your data entirely from those providers, also revoke the “Prabhupāda Says” app connection in your provider settings:

  • Google: visit your Google Account → Security →{" "} Third-party apps with account access → select “Prabhupāda Says” → Remove access.
  • Facebook: visit{" "} Settings & privacy → Settings →{" "} Apps and websites → select “Prabhupāda Says” → Remove.

Besides deletion, you can also ask us to provide a copy of the personal information we hold about you, or to correct information that is inaccurate. See our{" "} Privacy Policy {" "} for the full list of rights available to you.

If you have any trouble with the deletion process or want to verify the status of a previous request, write to{" "} {CONTACT_EMAIL} . The Service is operated by {OPERATOR}.
