How to delete a trip, a photo, or your whole account.

vacayi does not make you close your account to get rid of something.
Both are in the app, and take effect immediately. Both can also be done by email if you no longer have vacayi installed: write to support@vacayi.app from the address your account uses, saying what you want deleted. We will confirm and complete it within 30 days, and usually the same week.
Before you delete anything, you can keep a copy. Settings → ⬇ Export my data gives you everything we hold.
Each of these happens straight away, in the app, with no request to us.
| What you want removed | Where |
|---|---|
| A trip, and its whole guide | Open the trip → 🗑 Delete trip. Or press and hold the trip on the Trips list |
| A traveller or a pet in your crew | My Crew → tap them → Remove this traveler / Remove this pet |
| An allergy, dietary, accessibility or mobility note | My Crew → tap the person → remove the tag → save |
| Something on your idea list | My Crew → your idea list → Delete this idea |
| A photo you shared to a trip | Open the photo in the guide → 🗑 Remove from this trip. A trip's owner can remove any photo shared to their trip |
| A booking confirmation you attached | The guide's Bookings tab → the card → Remove this document |
| A comment you wrote | Tap the ✕ beside it in the trip's Talk tab |
| A checklist item you added | Press and hold it in the trip's Plan tab |
| A guide downloaded to your phone | The trip → Remove download |
This is the one worth being exact about. Deleting a trip permanently removes:
You do not have to ask, and nothing about it is recoverable afterwards.
In the app — Settings → 🗑 Delete my account. It takes effect immediately.
Without the app — email support@vacayi.app from the address your account uses, with the subject Delete my account. We will confirm and complete it within 30 days, and usually the same week. If you can no longer send mail from that address, write from any address and we will verify another way before deleting anything.
Very little, and none of it names you.
What you wrote on someone else's trip stays on their trip, with your name taken off. A comment, a checklist item you added or ticked, and the line in the activity feed recording a change you made all survive — as anonymous entries, permanently unlinked from you. We do it this way because the alternative is worse for the people you travelled with: deleting your account would silently tear items out of a shared list they are still using. If you want something you wrote removed as well as anonymised, delete it before you delete your account, or ask us and we will.
The log of purchase notifications sent to us by Apple, Google or RevenueCat. We keep those with your user ID removed, because they record a transaction those companies also hold and it is how a payment dispute gets resolved months later. Once your account is gone they cannot be connected back to you.
Aggregate counts that never identified anyone — how many guides were built in a month — also remain. Nothing kept can be used to identify or contact you, and none of it can rebuild an account.
Unused credits are forfeited when you delete your account, and cannot be restored or transferred afterwards.
The full table is in the Privacy Policy, section 8 — <https://vacayi.app/privacy>. The parts that matter most here:
| What | How long we keep it |
|---|---|
| Anything you delete yourself | Removed immediately |
| An account deleted in the app | Removed immediately |
| An account deleted by email | Within 30 days, usually the same week |
| Automatic repair snapshots of a guide | 30 days, then deleted whether or not you ask |
| A photo two people have reported | 24 hours, unless the trip's owner keeps it |
| Live presence — that you are here, typing, editing | Never stored. It exists only while the trip is open |
Email support@vacayi.app. If you want something deleted and cannot find the control for it, say so and we will do it for you.
