What Will Be Removed Or Anonymised
After admin approval, Vaaradhi removes or anonymises personal account information where applicable:
- account profile information and profile photo
- device sessions, push tokens, and password reset tokens
- followed/recent locations, bookmarks, and reading history
- article reactions, poll votes, and notification inbox/preferences
- analytics preferences, interest profile, and UGC contributor profile
- verified mobile number, OTP records, and account login capability
Verified deletion requests are normally reviewed and processed within 30 days.
What May Remain
Some records may be retained in anonymised form for public content integrity, fraud prevention, legal, financial, or audit reasons:
- published UGC/news and published comments may remain with identity detached
- reward and financial transaction records may be retained in anonymised form
- certain search or analytics records may be retained without user identity
- the deletion request record may remain as proof the request was received and handled
Financial, legal, fraud-prevention, and audit records may be retained for up to 7 years where required by law or legitimate business obligations.
