What gets deleted

When your deletion request is completed, we remove:

  • Your account and profile details (name, email, phone number)
  • Your saved items and favorites
  • Your in-app activity history and preferences

What we may keep, and why

We may retain a limited amount of information where we’re legally required or permitted to:

  • Records required by law — e.g. transaction or tax records, kept for up to 2 years
  • Safety & fraud prevention — limited records needed to prevent abuse, kept for up to 2 years
  • Support conversations — messages you’ve exchanged with our support team are retained indefinitely
  • Anonymized/aggregated data — data that can no longer identify you, which may be retained indefinitely

Content you shared publicly or directly with a provider (for example, a message sent to a business) may remain with that third party. Independent providers listed on JA Local control their own records — contact them directly for those.

How long it takes

In-app deletions take effect immediately. Emailed requests are actioned within 3 business days of us verifying your identity. Backup copies are fully purged within 60 days.

Can it be undone?

No — account deletion is permanent. Once your data is removed we can’t restore it, and you’d need to create a new account to use JA Local again.

Questions

Not sure about something? Visit our Help Center or chat with the team — we’re happy to walk you through it. You can also read our Privacy Policy for full detail on how we handle data.
