Account & Data Deletion

This page explains how to delete your After 7 account and associated data. After 7 is operated by Xiaoyu Zhang. You can request deletion at any time, either from inside the app or by contacting us using the details below.

1. Delete your account from inside the app

The fastest way to delete your account:

• Open the After 7 app and sign in.
• Go to You → Settings → Account → Delete account (or You → Legal & privacy → Delete account).
• Confirm the deletion. Your account is signed out immediately and can no longer be used.

2. Request deletion by email

If you can't access the app, email us from the address associated with your account at zxiaoyu.work@gmail.com with the subject "Delete my account". We may ask you to verify ownership of the phone number on the account before processing the request.

3. What is deleted

Access ends immediately: your account is signed out and can no longer be used to sign back in. At the same time, your profile, photos, private messages, Plan Room content, and activity and media content are removed from other members' view. Behind the scenes, Auth and Storage cleanup finishes asynchronously — this is typically fast, but it is a follow-up step rather than an instantaneous one. We do not promise your data is erased from every database row the moment you tap delete; instead, active and user-facing content is removed immediately, and provider cleanup completes shortly after.

4. What may be retained, and for how long

Any backup copies that already contain your data are not individually edited; they expire and are overwritten within 30 days. Beyond that, we retain a limited, enumerated set of records only as long as legally or operationally necessary:

• Apple transaction and refund lineage — to verify and reconcile subscription purchases and refunds with Apple.
• Referral reward accounting — the reward history and invite association your referrals earned, which is the inviting account's ledger, not yours.
• Safety and moderation evidence — reports, moderation actions, and related records needed to keep the community safe and meet legal obligations.
• A deletion audit record — that a deletion request was made and processed, to demonstrate compliance with this policy.

Apple subscription cancellation is separate: deleting your After 7 account does not cancel an Apple subscription or issue a refund; cancel it yourself in Settings → Subscriptions on your device.
