Account deletion request

This page explains how to request deletion for your account with The Catholic Zone and what data is deleted or retained.

App/developer: The Catholic Zone, operated by The Catholic Zone LLC.

How to request deletion
  1. Sign in at /sign-in?redirect=%2Fprofile%2Faccount.
  2. Open Profile, then Account.
  3. In Danger zone, select Schedule account deletion and confirm.

A deletion request starts a 30-day recovery window before permanent purge.

Delete data without deleting your account

You can remove specific data while keeping your account active.

  • Events and drafts: delete drafts from Create, and permanently delete hosted events from Profile, then Events. This is applied immediately.
  • Comments and replies: remove your own comments from event threads. Removed comments are hidden in-app, but moderation/audit metadata may be retained for safety enforcement.
  • Inbox notifications: delete individual notifications, selected notifications, or all notifications from Inbox. This is applied immediately.
  • Host profile data: schedule personal or owned-team host-profile reset from the Host or Team Settings danger zone. This uses a 30-day recovery window before permanent purge.
Recovery window and final deletion timing

After you schedule deletion, your account enters a 30-day recovery window.

During that window, you can sign in and restore access from /account-recovery.

If you do not restore before the deadline, purge processing permanently applies the account deletion changes.

Data deleted at purge
  • Personal host profile and personal hosted events.
  • Owned team profile data that is not transferred to another owner.
  • Your authored comments, RSVPs, drafts, inbox notifications, and notification preferences.
  • Your user profile row and related account-personalization settings.
Data retained or de-identified

To preserve safety, fraud prevention, audit integrity, billing history, and legal compliance, certain operational records may be retained in de-identified or disassociated form.

For example, some moderation, trust, and activity records may remain with user references cleared.

The core account row is converted to a deleted/de-identified state (including a placeholder deleted email) and marked as deleted.

Team ownership note

If you own a team, ownership may transfer to another eligible team member to avoid service disruption. In that case, transferred team data is retained under the new owner.
