Delete Your Account

Last updated: 28 October 2026

You can delete your AhaStatus account at any time, from inside the app. This page explains how to do it, exactly what is erased, and the small set of payment records we are required by law to keep. AhaStatus is operated by Locus Web Services Private Limited.

1. How to delete your account

  1. Open the AhaStatus app and tap Settings (the gear, top right).
  2. Scroll to Account and tap Delete account.
  3. Read the confirmation, then tap Delete permanently.

That is the whole process. There is no waiting period and no approval step — the account is deleted immediately and you are signed out on every device.

Deletion is permanent. There is no grace period and no way to undo it. We cannot restore a deleted account, its Surprise Statuses, or its referral earnings — not even if you contact support the same day. If you only want to stop paying, cancel Premium instead and keep the account.

If you cannot access the app, email from the Google account you signed in with, and we will delete it for you within 30 days.

2. What is deleted

The following is erased immediately and cannot be recovered. Where a field cannot simply be emptied, it is overwritten with a placeholder that contains none of your information.

3. What happens to Premium and your earnings

ItemWhat happens
Your Premium subscriptionCancelled. Your UPI Autopay mandate is cancelled so nothing charges you again. The remainder of a paid term is not refunded, as set out in our Refund Policy.
Your Surprise StatusesRemoved, together with the photos you uploaded for them. Links you already posted on WhatsApp stop opening.
Referral earnings not yet transferredForfeited. Transfer your balance to your UPI ID before deleting; we cannot pay it out afterwards.

4. What we keep, and why

We keep a small set of financial records. We are not allowed to delete these — Indian law requires a company to retain its books of account, and payments you made are part of them.

RecordWhy we must keep itHow long
Premium payments and referral credits Books of account — Section 128(5), Companies Act 2013 8 years
Payment and mandate references from our payment provider Payment reconciliation, tax and audit 8 years
Referral payouts and the UPI IDs they were paid to Proof of money paid out; part of the books of account 8 years

These rows are kept against an internal account number, not against you: once your account is deleted there is no name, phone number or profile attached to them. Eight years is the longest period any of the applicable rules require — Section 128(5) of the Companies Act 2013 sets eight years, the GST rules require six, and the income-tax rules six.

Backups. We take encrypted database backups for disaster recovery. A backup made before your deletion may still contain your data until it is rotated out, which takes up to 30 days. Backups are never used to serve the app — only to restore it after a failure — and a restore is followed by re-applying deletions.

5. Deleting without the app

If you have uninstalled the app or lost access to your number, email from the Google account you signed in with. We will verify that it is yours before deleting anything, and complete the deletion within 30 days.
