1. What Happens When You Delete Your Account

Deleting your Gully News account is permanent. You will lose access to saved preferences and any personalized features. We will remove personal data associated with your account except for limited information we must keep for security, fraud prevention, or legal obligations.

2. How to Request Deletion

• From the mobile app: Open Settings > Account > Delete Account, then follow the prompts to confirm.
• By email: Send a request from the email tied to your account to privacy@gullynews.com with the subject “Account Deletion Request.”

We may ask you to confirm ownership of the account (for example, by replying from the registered email or confirming a verification code) to protect your data.

3. What Will Be Deleted

• Account profile information (name, email, contact details).
• User-generated content linked to your account, where feasible and not required to maintain platform integrity.
• App preferences, bookmarks, and notification tokens.

4. What We May Retain

We may retain minimal data where required for:

• Complying with legal, tax, or regulatory obligations.
• Preventing fraud, abuse, or security incidents.
• Maintaining transaction or audit logs where required by law.

Any retained data is limited to what is necessary and is handled according to our Privacy Policy.

5. Timing and Confirmation

We aim to process verified deletion requests within 7 days. You will receive a confirmation email once deletion is complete. Some backups may take up to 30 days to cycle out, during which your data will remain protected and inaccessible for active use.

6. Canceling a Deletion Request

If you change your mind before deletion is completed, contact us immediately at privacy@gullynews.com. Once your account is deleted, it cannot be restored.
