1. Export first
Deletion is not reversible, so take a copy first if you want one. Your documents are stored as markdown files, so an export is a straightforward copy of what is actually there rather than a lossy extract from a database. PLACEHOLDER: where the export control lives and what formats it produces.
2. Deleting from inside the application
PLACEHOLDER: the exact path through the account settings, and any confirmation step.
3. Requesting deletion without signing in
If you cannot access your account, you can request deletion directly. PLACEHOLDER: the request email address or web form, the identity verification required, and the response time.
4. What is deleted
- Your account record and authentication details, including any linked third-party identities.
- Projects you own, and every document in them.
- Everything derived from those documents — passage embeddings, extracted entities and relationships, facts, summaries, motif tags and index entries.
- Chat history and the per-chat rolling memory files.
- API keys and webhook subscriptions you created.
PLACEHOLDER: the timeframe within which each of the above is removed from live systems.
5. What is retained, and why
- Billing and usage records, where retention is required for tax, accounting or audit purposes. PLACEHOLDER: period.
- Backups, until they age out on their normal cycle. PLACEHOLDER: backup retention period.
- Shared projects you do not own. Removing your account removes your access and your membership; it does not delete a project belonging to someone else, or content you contributed to it. PLACEHOLDER: how contributed content is attributed or anonymised after deletion.
- Aggregate operational logs that no longer identify you. PLACEHOLDER: period.
6. Data held by third parties
Content sent to third-party model providers during normal use is subject to those providers' retention terms, which we do not control. PLACEHOLDER: named providers and their retention position, including whether zero-retention terms are in place.
7. Deleting a single project
You can delete an individual project without closing your account. PLACEHOLDER: whether a grace period applies before permanent removal.
