Data Deletion Policy
Every member can request deletion in the app or from the web. Pausing a profile is not account deletion.
Open Profile → Settings → Delete Account, choose a reason and type DELETE. This is the fastest verified route.
1. Recovery period
The account is disabled and enters a 30-day recovery period. Signing back in during that period may cancel the request where recovery remains available. After 30 days, the purge removes the authentication account and associated profile data.
2. Request without app access
Email privacy@silarah.com from the account address with subject “Delete my Silarah account”. We may perform proportionate verification. Do not email identity documents unless a secure route is specifically provided.
3. What is deleted
The purge removes or de-identifies the account, profile, preferences, photos and private storage, interests, matches, messages, notification tokens and other user-linked service data, subject to limited lawful retention. Material another member saved outside Silarah cannot be recalled from their device.
4. Limited retention
We may keep the minimum information necessary for payment and tax records, legal obligations, fraud and abuse prevention, security, dispute resolution, enforcement history and proof of consent. It is restricted from discovery and marketing and deleted or de-identified when the purpose or legal period ends. Encrypted backups expire on normal rotation.
5. Delete specific data
Edit profile fields and delete or replace photos in the app. For access, correction, export, restriction or deletion of another category, email privacy@silarah.com. We explain if a lawful exception applies or deletion makes a feature unavailable.
6. Cancel subscriptions separately
Account deletion does not cancel Apple or Google billing. Cancel in the relevant store before deleting. Deletion does not itself create a refund; see the Refund Policy.
7. Timing and confirmation
Verified requests are processed without undue delay. In-app deletion is scheduled after the stated 30-day recovery period; other requests follow applicable legal deadlines. Contact privacy@silarah.com if the process does not behave as described.
