1. Delete your account in the app (fastest)
- Open Arthiva and sign in.
- Go to Profile → Danger Zone → Delete Account.
- Confirm. Your account and data are deleted immediately and you are signed out.
If you have Pro, cancel it in Google Play first (Play Store → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions). Deleting your account does not cancel a Google Play subscription.
2. Request deletion without the app
If you've uninstalled the app or can't sign in, email contact.arthiva@arthiv.com with the subject “Delete my Arthiva account”, sent from the Google account email you use in Arthiva. To protect you, we won't act on requests from a different email unless you can prove the account is yours.
We confirm receipt within 48 hours and complete the deletion within 30 days, usually much sooner. We'll email you when it's done.
3. Delete some data but keep your account
- Delete individual transactions, categories or budgets from their screens in the app.
- Delete an account (bank, card, wallet) that has no transactions from the Accounts tab, or archive a settled one.
- Turn off AI features from the AI screen. This stops any further AI processing.
- For anything else, email contact.arthiva@arthiv.com.
4. What is deleted and what is kept
| Data | What happens |
|---|---|
| Profile (name, email, photo) and sign-in account | Deleted permanently. |
| Accounts, transactions, categories, tags, budgets, recurring entries, borrow/lend records, summaries, notifications, audit history | Deleted permanently. |
| Support tickets | Deleted permanently. |
| Push notification tokens and device links | Deleted. |
| Subscription and billing records | Kept for up to 8 years in anonymised form (not linked to your name or email), as required by the Companies Act, 2013 and GST law. Then deleted. |
| A deletion record (internal user ID and date) | Kept so the deleted account isn't recreated by mistake. |
| Analytics and crash data held by Google Firebase | Not linked to your name or email; deleted automatically under Google's retention periods (at most 14 months). |
| Google Play purchase history | Kept by Google under Google's privacy policy. |
Deletion can't be undone. If you want a copy of your data, export each account's history as CSV from the app before you delete.
