CarFai

Delete your CarFai account

You can permanently delete your CarFai account at any time. This page explains the two ways to request deletion, what data we remove, and what we keep for legal compliance.

Option 1 — Delete in the app (fastest)

  1. Open the CarFai app and sign in.
  2. Go to Settings → Privacy → Delete account.
  3. Confirm the action. Deletion happens immediately.

If you can still access the app, this is the fastest option — the deletion is automated and confirmed on screen.

Option 2 — Request by email

If you can't access the app (uninstalled, lost device, locked out), email us from the address registered on your CarFai account and we'll process the deletion within 30 days.

Email [email protected]

We respond within 7 business days and complete the deletion within 30 days of receiving your request, per GDPR Art. 17 / Quebec Law 25.

What gets deleted

  • Your account profile (email, name, phone, language and currency preferences).
  • Every vehicle profile, document scan, OBD2 reading, AI Advisor chat history, and spending record attached to your account.
  • Uploaded photos, PDFs, and signed-URL access tokens for any documents you scanned.
  • All consent ledger entries (analytics, crash reporting, share-usage flags).
  • Active subscriptions on CarFai's side. (Cancel the underlying Apple Pay / Google Play subscription separately if you want to avoid the next renewal — Apple and Google control that directly.)

What we keep — and why

A small set of records survives deletion because law requires us to keep them. We do not use them for any purpose except meeting legal obligations.

  • Purchase receipts and tax records — kept for 7 years per Canadian tax law (and equivalent EU / US requirements).
  • Hashed records of deletion requests (timestamp + region) — proof of compliance under GDPR Art. 17 / Law 25 s.28.
  • Anonymous, aggregate analytics that cannot be re-linked to you (e.g. monthly active-user counts).

We don't retain your raw documents, photos, vehicle data, or AI chat history after deletion completes.

When deletion completes

In-app deletion is immediate. Email requests are processed within 7 business days and final deletion completes within 30 days (some legal-compliance copies in our backups expire on a rolling 30-day cycle, after which the data is unrecoverable).
