Delete your account

1. Open Oye Buddy and sign in.
2. Go to You → Settings (gear icon).
3. Scroll to the bottom and tap Delete account, then confirm.

Your photos are removed first, then your account. You are signed out and cannot sign in to that account again. Suspended or banned accounts can still delete themselves.

Send a deletion request from the email address you signed up with (or your Google account’s email). We verify it’s you and delete the account within 7 days, then confirm by email.

Email you used for Oye Buddy Name on your profile (optional) Anything we should know? (optional) Write deletion request email

This opens your email app with the request filled in; nothing is sent until you press Send. Or write to with the subject “Delete my Oye Buddy account”.

Deleted immediately	Profile (name, age, gender, bio, job, interests), photos, approximate location, likes and passes, matches, chats and messages, Buddy Feed posts, discovery and notification settings, device push tokens, read receipts, subscription record, your verification selfie (if you took one), your verification result and the automatic safety-check results for your photos. Photo and selfie files are erased from storage within minutes.
Kept, without your profile	Reports you made or that were made about you, moderation case records and security logs, kept only as long as needed for user safety, disputes and legal duties (for example, records required under India’s IT Rules 2021 for 180 days). A record that “an account was deleted” is kept with no user id.
Kept as safety evidence	If you or the other person had blocked the other, or there is an open report or safety case involving either of you, that chat is not deleted with your account. It is hidden from everyone except our safety team, unlinked from your account, and deleted 180 days later once nothing about it is still open.
Kept if the account was banned	A one-way, keyed hash of the email/phone so the same person can’t sign up again after a ban. It can’t be turned back into your email or phone.
Backups	Overwritten on a rolling basis.
