Account and Data Deletion

How to delete your account and what happens to your data.

Effective date:
4 August 2026

This document was drawn up in Turkish, and the Turkish text governs. This English version is an unofficial translation provided for convenience.

You can delete your UniConnectly account and the data associated with it at any time. Two methods are described below.

Deletion happens immediately and cannot be undone. There is no waiting period, no undo window and no cancellation option. If there is anything you wish to keep, please back it up before you delete.

1.Deleting from within the app (recommended)

  • Open the UniConnectly app and sign in.
  • Go to the My Profile tab in the bottom menu.
  • Tap Delete My Account.
  • Accept the confirmation warning — your account and associated data are deleted at that moment.

2.Requesting deletion by e-mail

If you cannot access the app, send an e-mail titled "Account Deletion Request" to info@uniconnectly.com from the e-mail address associated with your account. We process your request within 30 days at the latest, and we separately confirm that we have received it.

The request must come from the address registered to your account so that we can verify your identity — otherwise it would be possible for someone else to have your account deleted.

Data that is deleted

When your account is deleted, the following are removed permanently:

  • Profile information: name, e-mail address, phone number, university, faculty, department, city, biography and profile links
  • Images and files you have uploaded (these are removed from storage as well)
  • Your posts, contributions and the reactions you gave to them
  • Your messages and message attachments
  • Your follow, membership, event attendance and application records
  • Device and session information (including the notification token)

Records kept for a limited period

Only a limited number of records are retained, solely because of the legal obligation to be able to provide proof, and without being directly linked to your identity:

  • Consent and agreement approval records — for 10 years after the account is deleted (the general limitation period), after which they are destroyed. Your identity is not held directly in these records; an irreversibly hashed reference is stored instead.
  • Audit records — kept for the duration of the legal obligation; they serve to prove that the deletion was carried out.

These records cannot be used to re-identify you or to contact you. For details, see the Privacy Notice and the Privacy Policy.

If you have questions

You can write to us at info@uniconnectly.com about anything relating to the deletion process.

Have a question?
