Account Deletion & Data Removal Policy

1. Permanent Account Deletion

When you request account deletion on Vibeshared, your account is permanently deleted from our active systems.

• Your profile is removed
• Your content is deleted from active systems, subject to limited legal retention, caching, or third-party persistence
• Your account credentials are destroyed
• Account recovery is not possible

Once deleted, the account cannot be restored under any circumstances.

2. Immediate Deletion Process

Vibeshared is designed to process account deletion requests promptly and without undue delay, subject to lawful retention requirements. We do not place accounts in a waiting, cooling-off, or deactivation period, unless required by law or explicitly communicated at the time of deletion.

If the deletion option is labeled as Permanent Delete, the action is final.

3. Data Removal Scope

Upon permanent deletion, we remove Personal Data from our active databases, including:

• Account and profile information

4. Legal and Limited Retention

In limited cases, certain minimal data may be retained strictly where required by:

• Applicable laws or regulations
• Court or government orders
• Fraud prevention or security investigations
• Audit and compliance obligations
• Dispute resolution or law enforcement cooperation

Such retained data is access-restricted, securely stored, and deleted once the legal requirement ends.

Deleted data may exist temporarily in encrypted backups or disaster recovery systems. These backups are:

• Not used for operational purposes
• Isolated from active systems
• Automatically overwritten as part of routine backup cycles

6. No Recovery Guarantee
