What's Up India?
Account deletion and your data
This page explains how to request the deletion of your user account and its associated data from the website. whatsupindia.co.il And in the Android app What's happening in India? (package ID il.co.whatsupindia.app). The app displays the same website, so a single request handles both.
You can submit a request even without logging into your account, and even if you have already removed the app from your device. The request is processed within 30 days from the date of its receipt and identity verification.
1Submitting the request
Send an email to the designated address for deletion requests:
whatsupinindia.com@gmail.com
In the message, they wrote The email address registered to the account, And if you also provided a phone number – attach it. That is all it takes to locate the data.
2Verify that the request is yours
Before deletion, we make sure the request came from the account owner:
- A verification email has been sent to the address The account record, with a one-time confirmation link. Only clicking the link from the same address triggers the deletion.
- If you no longer have access to that address, we will request another identifying detail that only the account owner would know, such as an order number.
- We will never ask for a password, login code, or a photo of an ID card or passport via email. If you received such a request supposedly from us, do not reply and report it to us.
3What was deleted
- Website user account: username, name, email address, phone number, and billing and shipping addresses.
- Inquiries and forms you submitted through the website or app, including Attached files.
- Visa applications and passport photos – These are automatically deleted 60 days after submission anyway, including all form fields and files. If your request is less than 60 days old, deleting the account removes it immediately.
- WhatsApp group registrations made via the website form.
- Inquiries are saved in our email system that can be associated with you.
Data saved in your browser or on your device, such as cookies and preferences, is also deleted when clearing site data in the browser or when uninstalling the app.
4What might be preserved, and why
- Financial record of orders – Order number, date, items, amounts, and transaction ID, without personal details. It is kept in accordance with bookkeeping and tax obligations. Even without a deletion request, the personal details in the order are automatically deleted after 3 months anyway. Such records are disconnected from the account and are not used for contact, advertising, or marketing.
- Invoices and receipts that were issued to you – are retained in our external invoicing system in accordance with the retention period required by law, and are not deleted along with the account.
- Information required to resolve a dispute or defend against a claim - Until the completion of the review or until the end of the relevant limitation period.
- security logs – Login attempt and blocking logs, for the period required to protect the website.
- Content you published publicly – business, room, event, or response. It is not automatically deleted with the account; if you would like it to be removed, please let us know and we will remove it.
- Information at the payment gateway: Payments on the website are processed through Razorpay, which stores transaction data in accordance with its own policies. We do not store credit card numbers.
- Information that has already been transferred to a third party at your request – For example, the details of a visa application submitted to Indian authorities, or booking details transmitted to the supplier who fulfilled it. Deletion with us does not delete it with them.
- Backup copies of the site at the hosting company, until they are replaced in the regular backup cycle. Deleted information is not restored for use from backup.

Delete your account and data
This page covers the website whatsupindia.co.il and the Android app “What’s Up in India?” (il.co.whatsupindia.app). The app displays the same website, so one request covers both. No sign-in is required, and the request works after the app has been uninstalled.
How to request: email whatsupinindia.com@gmail.com from any address, stating the e-mail address registered on the account (and the phone number, if one was given).
Verification: we send a one-time confirmation link to the e-mail address registered on the account; only a confirmation from that address triggers the deletion. If that mailbox is no longer reachable, we ask for another detail only the account holder would know, such as an order number. We never ask for a password, a login code or a photo of an identity document by e-mail.
Timing: a deletion request is handled within 30 days of receipt and identity verification. We confirm receipt by e-mail and tell you once the deletion is done. If the request is unusually complex, or we need more information to locate the data, we will tell you within those 30 days.
Deleted: the website account (username, name, e-mail, phone, billing and shipping addresses); forms and enquiries sent through the site or the app, including uploaded files; WhatsApp group sign-ups made through the site form. Visa requests and passport scans are deleted automatically 60 days after submission in any case — every form field and every attached file; if yours is newer than that, deleting the account removes it straight away.
Retained: the financial record of an order — order number, date, line items, amounts and transaction id, without the personal details — kept for bookkeeping and tax obligations; even without a request, order personal data is cleared automatically after 3 months. Also retained: invoices and receipts in our external invoicing system for the period the law requires; data needed to handle a dispute or defend a claim, until it is resolved; security logs; content you published publicly (a business, room, event or comment), which we remove on request rather than automatically; transaction data held by our payment provider Razorpay under its own policy (we do not store card numbers); data already passed to a third party at your request, such as a visa application filed with the Indian authorities; and site backups held by the hosting provider until they are replaced in the normal backup cycle.
