6. FAQ - Account Deletion

Q: Can I delete just my profile data but keep my account?

A: No, account deletion is all-or-nothing. If you want to keep your account, you can deactivate it instead by contacting support. We can temporarily disable access while preserving your data.

Q: How long does email-based deletion take?

A: Email-based deletion requests are manually verified and processed within 3-5 business days, sometimes up to 14 business days depending on verification complexity.

Q: Can I re-use the same email after deletion?

A: Generally yes, but we recommend waiting 30 days before creating a new account with the same email. This allows time for the deletion to fully process across all systems.

Q: What about data in conversations with other users?

A: Messages in your conversations may be retained for 30-60 days as they involve other users' data. However, your profile information will be removed immediately.

Q: Can someone else request to delete my account?

A: No. Only the account holder can delete an account. We always require identity verification to ensure the request is legitimate.

Q: Will my listings/posts be deleted?

A: Public listings and posts will be marked as "Deleted User" but may be retained for 60 days. After that, they are completely removed if no active users are referencing them.

Q: Do you delete data from third-party services?

A: We delete data from our systems and request deletion from critical service providers. However, third-party services may have their own retention policies. Check their privacy policies for details.

Q: Is there a waiting period before deletion?

A: No. Deletion is immediate once confirmed. There is no grace period or cancellation window. Confirm carefully before proceeding.
