Purge delay and backups
Deletion is effective immediately in our production database. Your data is no longer accessible via the app or any other interface as soon as the request is validated.
Our encrypted backups, used only for major recovery incidents, contain a trace of your data for up to 30 days before being overwritten by the rotation cycle. After this period, no trace of your account remains.
This temporary retention is a technical security requirement. It does not imply any access to your data by our services or by third parties during this period.
