Account Deletion

Use Settings → Account actions → Delete Account. If you cannot access your account, email support@rishtio.com. We may verify the request before acting. Do not email passwords, social-provider tokens, identity documents, or other unnecessary sensitive information.

A confirmed deletion revokes access, ends active sessions, and removes the profile from use. Background cleanup then removes account-owned profile data, searches, photos and files, verification uploads, messages and provider resources, device registrations, and AI-derived output. Provider deletion and credential-expiry checks may require retries, so we do not promise a fixed completion time.

Limited records may remain for fraud prevention, member-controlled blocks, unresolved reports, appeals, legal preservation, dispute handling, and service security. Reviewed ban identifiers may remain for up to five years without retaining your sign-in ID or document number. Ordinary resolved report evidence remains for one year; ban-related evidence follows the ban period plus a capped 30-day grace. Closed support tickets and attachments are scheduled for deletion 120 days after closure. Production backups expire within up to 35 days. A legal hold may delay deletion until it is released. After an ordinary deletion, you may create a new account unless a platform ban is still in effect; another member's block does not prevent registration and is reapplied to the new account. See https://rishtio.com/legal/privacy for the complete retention explanation.
