Account Deletion

You can leave Penzio at any time. This page explains how to request deletion of your account and associated personal data.

Draft for legal review. This document is provided for informational purposes while counsel reviews it for compliance with applicable laws in Kenya and the wider East Africa region. It may change before publication.

In the app

When account settings are available, go to Settings → Account → Delete account, confirm your choice, and follow the prompts. You may be asked to verify your identity by email or SMS.

By email

If you cannot access the app, email support@penzio.co.ke from the address linked to your account with the subject line Account deletion request. Include your registered phone number or email and your display name so we can locate your profile.

What is deleted

After verification, we delete or anonymise personal data such as your profile, photos, bio, and device identifiers, except where we must retain limited information for legal obligations, fraud prevention, or dispute resolution as described in our Privacy Policy.

Active subscriptions

Deleting your account does not automatically refund unused Premium time. Cancel auto-renewal before deletion where possible. See the Refund Policy.

Timeline

We aim to complete deletion within 30 days of a verified request, often sooner. You will receive confirmation by email when processing is finished.

Messages to matches

After deletion, your profile will no longer be visible. Message history may remain visible to former matches in anonymised or truncated form depending on technical implementation — final behaviour to be confirmed at launch.
