You can permanently delete your Chanakyaverse account and all data associated with it at any time. We comply with the Google Play Store data deletion policy, the Indian Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP) 2023, and the EU GDPR.

1. Open Chanakyaverse on your phone
2. Tap You in the bottom tab bar
3. Scroll to the bottom and tap Delete account
4. Confirm. Deletion is irreversible and happens within 30 seconds.

If you cannot access the app, email privacy@chanakyaverse.in from the address associated with your account. Subject line: Account deletion request.

We will confirm deletion within 7 business days and complete it within 30 days, per DPDP Act.

Want to take a break without losing your data? Sign out of the app instead. Your data stays on our servers until you sign back in, with no deletion.

To pause sync but keep the app: in You → Daily notifications, toggle off.

Deleting the Chanakyaverse app from your phone does NOT delete your server account. To delete your account, follow the steps above first, then uninstall.
