How to request deletion
You can request deletion of your Gazetz account and its data in either of two ways — you do not need the app installed:
- In the app: Profile → Settings → Delete Account, then confirm.
- By email: info@gazetz.com with the subject “Account Deletion Request”, sent from the email address on your account so we can verify it's you.
We verify every request against the account's email address and complete deletion within 30 days.
What gets deleted
- Your account, profile, and sign-in credentials;
- Stories, photos, comments, and other content you authored;
- Your location history, contact matches, notification tokens, and preferences.
What may be retained
- Financial records (e.g., subscription payments, sponsorships, or payouts processed through Stripe) for as long as tax and accounting law requires;
- Records of policy violations where retention is necessary for safety, fraud prevention, or legal compliance;
- Residual copies in encrypted backups, which are purged on a rolling basis within 90 days.
Deleting data without closing your account
You can delete individual stories, photos, and comments in the app at any time, and you can request deletion of specific data (for example, your location history) without closing your account by emailing info@gazetz.com. See our Privacy Policy for details on what we collect and why.
