Account and Data Deletion

1. How to Request Account Deletion

Send an email to happy.dev.sol@gmail.com with the subject line: Delete my Sift account.

You can also use any in-app account deletion option available in Sift.

2. What to Include in Your Request

To help us process your request, include the email address or account identifier associated with your Sift account. We may ask you to verify ownership of the account before deleting data.

3. Data Deleted

When your deletion request is verified, we will delete or anonymize personal data associated with your account, which may include:

• account information, such as email address, display name, and account status;
• authentication or session data associated with your account;
• saved stories, saved articles, followed topics, preferences, and personalization data;
• push notification tokens linked to your account or device;
• support messages associated with your deletion request, where deletion is legally permitted.

4. Data That May Be Retained

We may retain limited information where necessary for legal, security, fraud-prevention, accounting, audit, dispute-resolution, or legitimate business purposes.

We may also retain anonymized or aggregated data that can no longer reasonably identify you.

5. Retention Period

Verified deletion requests are processed within a reasonable period. Some backup, security, or log data may remain for a limited retention period before being automatically deleted or anonymized.

6. If You Do Not Have a Sift Account

If you use Sift without creating an account, there may be no account for us to delete. You may still contact us to request deletion of personal data that may be associated with your device, support messages, or app usage, where applicable and technically possible.
