How can I delete my data and account from PrivacyHawk?

Updated over 8 months ago

Deleting your data and PrivacyHawk account is a straightforward process.

PrivacyHawk is committed to protecting user privacy and provides an easy way to delete your data and account if you no longer wish to use our app. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to do this:

  1. Open the PrivacyHawk app: Make sure you are logged in with the account you want to delete.

  2. Open the Menu: It is represented by 3 horizontal lines and can be found in the top-left corner of the app's interface.

  3. Locate the Settings menu: This section contains all the relevant options related to your account management.

  4. Find the "Delete My Account" option: Tap on this option to proceed.


  5. Read the 'My PrivacyHawk Data' screen: PrivacyHawk aspires to hold the minimum amount of data. It's essential to read and understand this screen before proceeding. Deleting your account will result in the permanent removal of Information from Sign up (Name and email), Information needed to scan for and remove Privacy Risks (Name, city, state, and age), and Information from Privacy Scan results (Possible contact information, relative's names, cities, employers).

    This information is only used to show users their privacy risks, and the benefit of the app is to remove these risks from these exposed sources.



  6. Confirm your decision by clicking 'Delete My Data': After reading the previous information, you will be able to confirm your decision by pressing Delete. This confirmation step helps prevent accidental deletions.


Once you have successfully completed the previous steps, PrivacyHawk will continue with the deletion process and you will receive a confirmation message.

Uninstall the app (optional): If you no longer wish to use PrivacyHawk, you can uninstall the app from your device. This step is optional but can help ensure that no residual data or app remnants remain on your device.

Remember, deleting your account and data from the PrivacyHawk app is permanent, and you will lose any associated benefits or access to the app's features. It's advisable to consider the implications before proceeding.
