Account and Data Deletion Request
Under Art. 7 of Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (KVKK) and Google Play Data safety
What is deleted?
Once you confirm the deletion, the following data is deleted:
- Your account (user name, e-mail, password hash)
- Sign-in connections (Google, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Apple)
- Your personal session history and API tokens
- If nobody else is on your team, all of the team's projects and patent drafts (description, claims, abstract, drawings, prior-art searches), archived ones included
- Drawing images you uploaded with the camera or from the photo library (if nobody else is on your team)
- Mobile device preference data
What is not deleted?
Because of statutory retention obligations, the following data is kept:
- Invoice/payment records — 10 years, as the Turkish Commercial Code (Art. 82) and Tax Procedure Law (Art. 253) require
- Legal audit trail — 10 years; IP addresses and browser details are deleted, and the content of deleted drafts is removed from it too
- Your team's projects — if your team has other members, the projects stay with the team; if you are the owner, ownership passes to an admin
These exceptions are in line with KVKK Art. 7/3 (retention obligation).
Subscriptions
- Web subscriptions do not renew on their own; you are not charged after the deletion.
- The renewal of your Google Play subscription is stopped during the deletion.
- We cannot cancel an App Store subscription: cancel it on your iPhone under Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.
