Can't access the app?

Email privacy@ethiopianmaids.com from the address linked to your account with the subject β€œAccount Deletion Request”. We process these requests within 30 days and confirm by email once your account has been removed.

Cancel active subscriptions first

Deleting your account does not automatically cancel any active Apple App Store or Google Play subscription. Cancel the subscription via your device's Apple ID or Google Play settings before deleting your account, otherwise billing will continue.

What is deleted

  • Profile information: name, photo, contact details, address, nationality, date of birth
  • Identity documents you uploaded: ID, passport, certificates, photos, videos
  • Chat history and messages
  • Job applications, bookings, and showcases linked to your profile
  • Reviews you posted
  • Push-notification tokens and device identifiers
  • Saved preferences, favourites, and onboarding state

What is retained, and for how long

Some records are retained after account deletion to comply with legal obligations, fraud-prevention duties, or platform-billing requirements. These records are de-linked from your identity where possible.

  • Financial transaction records β€” 7 years (tax and accounting law in our operating jurisdictions).
  • Identity verification logs β€” 5 years after the last verification event (anti-fraud).
  • Communication and safety-incident logs β€” 3 years after the last interaction (dispute resolution, safety follow-up).
  • Anonymized usage analytics β€” up to 2 years, with no link back to you personally.
  • Subscription receipts validated via Apple App Store or Google Play β€” retained per the platform's billing-reconciliation requirements.
