# Account Deletion Policy — Buildify Dev
**Effective Date:** April 28, 2026
## 1. Overview
This Account Deletion Policy explains how users of Buildify Dev ("Service") can request deletion of their account and how their data is handled after deletion. We are committed to giving users control over their data while maintaining necessary legal and operational safeguards.
## 2. How to Request Account Deletion
Users may request deletion of their account through:
* **In-App Option:** Home Screen > Delete Account Icon.
* **Email Request:** Send a request to buildifydevelopers@gmail.com.
To process your request, we may require verification of your identity to prevent unauthorized deletion.
## 3. What Happens When You Delete Your Account
Upon successful deletion, the following actions are triggered automatically:
* **Firebase Authentication:** Your user profile is deleted from our Firebase Authentication system, immediately revoking your access to the Service.
* **Firebase Firestore:** All personal records, project submissions, and chat history associated with your unique User ID are permanently removed from our Firestore database.
* **Access:** Access to all cloud-based features will be revoked permanently.
## 4. Data Deletion and Retention
### a. Data That Will Be Deleted
* Personal account information (name, email, profile details).
* Chat history and developer conversations stored in Firestore.
* AI input data submitted through the AI Validator.
### b. Data That May Be Retained
We may retain certain transactional records (e.g., payment history) for a period of **7 years** as required by Indian tax and GST compliance laws. These records are anonymized where possible and are not used for active service features. We may also retain minimal system logs for security and fraud prevention.
## 5. Anonymized Data Usage
Even after account deletion:
* We may retain anonymized and aggregated data (e.g., general usage trends).
* This data does not identify you personally.
* It may be used to improve AI models and platform performance.
## 6. Third-Party Services
Your data is processed by our service providers, including **Google LLC (Firebase)** and **Razorpay**. When you delete your account, we request the deletion of your associated data from these systems. Please note that data retention policies of these third parties may apply in accordance with their own terms.
## 7. Processing Time
* Deletion requests are processed within 30 working days.
## 8. Irreversibility
* Account deletion is **permanent and irreversible**.
* Once your User ID is deleted from Firebase Authentication and Firestore, your data cannot be recovered. You must create a new account to use the Service again.
## 9. Security and Abuse Prevention
We reserve the right to delay or deny deletion requests if there is a suspicion of fraud, active disputes, or legal violations, until such issues are fully resolved.
