Delete Your Account

1. Open LocaVibe and make sure you’re signed in to the account you want to delete.
2. Go to the Profile tab and scroll down to Settings.
3. Tap Delete account.
4. Read the warning and tap Delete to confirm.

If you subscribe to LocaVibe+, remember to cancel your subscription in your Apple ID settings as well — see Cancel LocaVibe+ separately.

As soon as you confirm:

• your profile is anonymised and appears as “Deleted user”;
• your photos, “about me”, interests, languages and area are cleared;
• your verification status is reset and your verification requests are deleted;
• your push notification tokens are removed, so you stop receiving notifications;
• any active “Share meetup with a friend” links you created are revoked;
• upcoming activities you host are cancelled, and everyone who was going is notified; and
• you leave all other activities and chats.

Shortly afterwards — normally within minutes — our systems permanently delete your login account and the rest of your personal data, including:

• your photos and verification selfies in storage;
• the activities you hosted, together with their chats;
• the ratings and no-show marks you gave and received; and
• your Sign in with Apple authorisation, which we revoke if you used Apple to sign in.

If a technical problem delays this step, we complete it as soon as possible and in any case within 30 days.

• Messages you sent to other people. Messages you sent in the group chats of activities hosted by others, and in direct messages, stay visible to the other people in those chats so that their conversations still make sense — but they’re no longer linked to your name or photo.
• Reports you submitted. We keep reports you made, without your identity, so that we can finish investigations and keep the community safe.
• Backups. Deleted data may remain in our encrypted backups for up to 30 days before it’s overwritten. We don’t restore deleted accounts from backups.
• Records we must keep by law. We may keep specific information for longer where the law requires it, or where it’s needed for a legal claim or a request from a competent authority. For partners, this includes invoices and payment records (generally 5 years).
• Purchase records held by others. Apple and RevenueCat keep records of App Store purchases under their own policies.

More detail is available in our Privacy Policy.

Deleting your account doesn’t cancel your LocaVibe+ subscription. Subscriptions are managed by Apple, so you need to cancel yours yourself — otherwise Apple may continue to charge you:

1. On your iPhone, open Settings.
2. Tap your name, then Subscriptions.
3. Choose LocaVibe and tap Cancel Subscription.

You can also open the App Store, tap your profile picture and choose Subscriptions, or — before you delete your account — tap Manage subscription on the LocaVibe+ screen in the app. To avoid being charged for the next period, cancel at least 24 hours before your subscription renews. Refunds are handled by Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.

If you can’t sign in or no longer have the app, you can ask us to delete your account by email:

1. Email web.pro.farid@gmail.com from the email address linked to your LocaVibe account, with the subject “Delete my account”.
2. Include the first name shown on your profile and how you sign in (for example, Sign in with Apple). If you use Sign in with Apple with “Hide My Email”, please tell us — we may need to confirm that the account is yours in another way.
3. We’ll verify that the account belongs to you, and we may ask you to confirm the request or provide more information. We’ll never ask for your sign-in code.
4. We’ll complete the deletion within 30 days and confirm it by email.

Partner profiles are managed separately from personal app accounts. To delete your partner profile and events, email web.pro.farid@gmail.com from your partner account’s email address with the subject “Delete partner profile”. We’ll verify the request, unpublish your events and delete your partner profile.

We keep business records, such as invoices and payment records, for as long as UAE law requires — generally 5 years. Promotions that haven’t finished yet are handled under the refund rules in our Partner terms.

• Deletion is permanent. We can’t restore your account or its content.
• Your ratings, meetup count, no-show history and verified badge will be lost.
• Activities you host will be cancelled, and you’ll leave all chats.
• If you sign up again with the same Apple ID or email address, you’ll get a new, empty account, and you’ll need to set up your profile and verify it again.
• Your LocaVibe+ subscription continues to be billed by Apple until you cancel it.

If you have questions about deleting your account or about your data, email web.pro.farid@gmail.com or read our Privacy Policy.
