Delete My Data

Request deletion of your Tawhid account and personal information
Last updated: 7 August 2026

To request deletion: email info@tawhidapp.com with the subject line Delete My Data.

Free of charge. No account or login required to make a request. We complete verified requests within 30 days.

How to request deletion

You can ask us to delete your personal information at any time. There is no charge, and you do not need an account or a login to submit a request.

By email — the fastest route. Send a message to info@tawhidapp.com with the subject line Delete My Data, and include:

  • The email address associated with your account, if you created one;
  • Whether you want everything deleted, or only specific information (for example, only your saved location);
  • The platform you use — iOS, Android, or the website.

By post. Written requests are accepted at our registered office, though they take considerably longer to process:

TAWHID DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES INC.
5050 Halifax Street, Unit 906
Burnaby, British Columbia  V5B 2N5
Canada
Incorporation No. BC1599227 (British Columbia)

You may also authorise an agent to submit a request on your behalf. We will ask for written proof of that authorisation before acting.

How we verify you

Before deleting anything, we confirm the request genuinely comes from you. Deletion is permanent, and acting on an unverified request would put your data at risk from anyone who knows your email address.

In most cases we verify by replying to the email address on the account and asking you to confirm. We do not ask for government ID, passwords, or payment details as part of this process — if you ever receive such a request claiming to be from us, it is not from us.

If we cannot reasonably verify your identity, we will tell you why rather than silently ignoring the request.

What gets deleted

On a verified full-deletion request, we delete the personal information we hold about you, including:

CategoryExamples
Account & contactEmail address, display name, any profile details, support correspondence
LocationSaved cities, last known coordinates used for prayer times and Qibla
App preferencesCalculation method, Asr convention, notification settings, language
Usage & diagnosticsCrash reports and analytics events linked to your installation identifier
Content you savedBookmarks, notes, Tasbih counts and reading progress held on our servers

Deletion is permanent and cannot be reversed. We cannot restore deleted data later, so please export or note anything you want to keep before you ask us to proceed.

What we keep, and why

A small amount of information survives a deletion request, because the law requires it or because it is no longer linked to you. We keep only what is genuinely necessary:

WhatWhyHow long
Financial and tax records for any contribution you madeRequired under Canadian tax and corporate record-keeping law6 years from the end of the relevant tax year
A record that a deletion request was made and completedTo demonstrate compliance if a regulator asksRetained as a minimal log entry
Aggregated or anonymised statisticsNo longer identifies you and cannot be linked backIndefinitely
BackupsDeleted data persists briefly in encrypted rolling backups before being overwrittenPurged within 90 days

Where we are required to keep records, we restrict them so they are used only for that legal purpose and not for any ongoing processing about you.

How long it takes

  • Within 5 business days — we acknowledge your request and confirm your identity.
  • Within 30 days — deletion is completed and we confirm in writing.
  • Within 90 days — residual copies are purged from encrypted backups.

If a request is unusually complex and we need more time, we will tell you before the 30 days are up and explain why.

Data stored on your device

Much of what Tawhid stores never reaches our servers — bookmarks, Tasbih counts, settings, and cached prayer times generally live on your device only. We cannot delete that remotely, and a deletion request will not remove it.

To clear it yourself, uninstall the app from your device. On the website, clearing your browser's site data for tawhidapp.com removes the stored theme preference, which is the only thing this site keeps.

Contributions and receipts

If you made a voluntary contribution, the payment itself was processed by Stripe and is subject to Stripe's own retention obligations as a regulated payment processor. We cannot delete records held by Stripe on our behalf where financial regulation requires them.

Deleting your data does not automatically cancel a recurring monthly contribution. If you have one, please say so in your request — or cancel it via the link in any contribution receipt — and we will stop future charges. See our Terms of Use.

Questions

Deletion is one of several rights you have. You can also ask for a copy of your data, ask us to correct it, or object to certain processing — see Your Rights in our Privacy Policy.

If you are unhappy with how we handled a request, you can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, or to your local supervisory authority if you are in the EEA or UK.
