7. Account Deletion and Subscriptions

Deleting an Account

You can delete your account directly in the application through Settings.

When you delete your account:

• All your personal data, content, and settings are permanently removed
• Deleted data cannot be restored
• Your subscription is not canceled automatically, because subscriptions are managed by Google Play or Apple App Store

Subscriptions

Subscriptions are purchased and managed through Google Play or Apple App Store and are linked to your store account.

If you delete your application account while having an active subscription:

• The subscription remains active in the app store until you cancel it there
• You can restore access to premium features by creating a new account in the app and using the "Restore purchases" option
• Restoring a subscription does not restore previously deleted data

At any time, one subscription can be active for only one application account.

Canceling a Subscription

Subscriptions must be canceled directly in Google Play or Apple App Store. Deleting the application account does not cancel a subscription automatically.

Data Retention After Deletion

After account deletion, we do not keep personal data related to the deleted account, except where retention is required by law.

You have the right to:

• Access your personal data
• Delete your account and all associated data
