How to request deletion
Delete your account
Send a request from the email or phone registered on your account. This works for both the website and the mobile app, and applies to the same account.You can use any of these routes:
- Email indcars99@gmail.com with the subject “Account & data deletion request”, your name and your registered phone number and email.
- Use live chat on the Contact Us page while signed in and ask for account deletion.
- Call +91 81234 97166 (Mon – Sun, 9 AM – 8 PM IST) and ask for account deletion; we will confirm by email or SMS.
This page is the deletion-request address for the IndCars99 app, published on Google Play by Bliszkot and on the Apple App Store.
Verifying it's you
To protect you from someone else deleting your account, we confirm your identity first, usually by an OTP to your registered mobile number or a confirmation link to your registered email. If you can no longer access either, we may ask for other proof that you own the account. A request we cannot verify will not be processed.
You can withdraw the request before we finish, by replying to our confirmation.
What we delete
Once verified, we delete or irreversibly anonymise:
| Data | What happens |
|---|---|
| Account & profile | Name, email, phone, avatar, password hash and sign-in (Google) link are deleted; you are signed out on every device. |
| Listings | Vehicles you listed for sale or for rent are taken down and deleted. |
| Photos, 360° images, videos | Removed from our storage and delivery network; cached copies expire. |
| Chats & offers | Your messages and offers are deleted or anonymised, and other users lose access to the thread. |
| Saved items & preferences | Wishlist, comparisons, saved searches and notification settings are deleted. |
| Push tokens & devices | Removed, so notifications stop. |
| Analytics identifiers | We stop associating analytics with you; Google Analytics data is aggregated and expires under its own retention. |
Reports you filed are anonymised so we can still act on the listing you reported.
What we must keep
Some records must stay even after your account is deleted. We keep only what is needed, for only as long as needed, and restrict use to that purpose:
| Kept | Why | For how long |
|---|---|---|
| Payments, invoices and tax records (amount, date, plan, gateway IDs, name on invoice) | Tax, GST and accounting laws; payment reconciliation and refunds | As the law requires, typically up to 8 years |
| Booking and transaction records for disputes | Resolve pending disputes, claims and legal proceedings | Until the matter is closed, then deleted |
| Fraud, abuse and ban records (e.g. phone number of a banned account) | Prevent banned or fraudulent users from re-joining and protect others | As long as the risk remains, reviewed periodically |
| Content required by law enforcement or court order | Legal obligation | As directed |
| Backups | Disaster recovery | Overwritten on the normal backup cycle (up to 90 days); not restored to live use |
Deleting your account does not delete messages you sent that were already delivered to other users’ devices or that they exported themselves, and does not affect a completed transaction between you and another user.
Before you delete
- Active plan: Any remaining days are forfeited on deletion. If you are eligible for a refund, ask for it first (see the Refund Policy).
- Open rentals or bookings: Finish or cancel them, and return any deposits, before deleting. We may delay deletion until active bookings end.
- Listings: Anyone interested will no longer be able to reach you. Mark the vehicle sold or download photos you want to keep.
- Sign-in with Google: Deleting your IndCars99 account does not delete your Google account.
- Invoices: Download the invoices you need from your Profile before deleting; we can still provide a copy on request as long as we hold the record.
How long it takes
- We acknowledge your request within 2 business days.
- After verification we deactivate your account immediately and complete deletion within 30 days.
- We confirm completion by email or SMS to the contact on the account.
Delete only some data
You do not have to delete your whole account. You can:
- Edit or remove your profile details and avatar in Profile.
- Delete individual listings and photos you uploaded.
- Turn off notifications, camera and location permissions in your device settings.
- Ask us to delete a specific item, such as one chat or an uploaded document, through indcars99@gmail.com.
- Ask for a copy of your data or a correction, as described in our Privacy Policy.
Data held by others
Third-party services
Some data sits with independent services that we use. We ask them to delete what we sent them, but you may also need to contact them: payment records at Razorpay (per their retention and legal obligations), your Google account and Google Analytics data (through your Google account settings), and your telephone operator’s SMS logs.
Other users
Photos or details you shared with another user are under their control once delivered. We cannot force them to delete it, but we can act on a complaint about misuse.
