How to delete your She Chooses account
You have two ways to request that your She Chooses account and its associated data be deleted. Both lead to the same outcome: a 30-day grace window during which you can restore the account by signing in again, followed by a permanent purge of your personal data.
Option 1 — from within the She Chooses app (fastest)
- Sign in with your phone number
- Open Settings → Delete my account
- Type the confirmation phrase and confirm
- You are signed out immediately. Nothing further needed from you.
Option 2 — by email (if you cannot access the app)
Send an email to support@shechooses.app from the address you registered with, or from any address if you include:
- The phone number on your She Chooses account (with country code)
- The words "Delete my She Chooses account" in the subject or body
We will confirm receipt within 24 hours and delete the account within 7 days.
What is deleted
- Your profile: name, date of birth, city, neighbourhood, education, profession, relationship status, journey intent, bio answers
- Your face photo
- All diyas (likes) you have lit
- Your event pick-3 selections
- Your reports and blocks
- Your notification token
What is retained (and for how long)
- Consent and policy-acceptance records — retained indefinitely for audit under DPDPA §8(4), but linked only to a hash of your identity, not to your name or phone number, after the 30-day purge window.
- Payment records — retained for 7 years as required by Indian tax law (Income Tax Act §44AA). Contains amount + date only; not linked to any profile field after the purge.
- Aggregated event statistics — retained indefinitely with no personal identifiers.
- Server logs — 90 days maximum (already excludes your name and photo).
