Will my reviews be deleted?

Reviews you posted will be deleted. However, reviews other users posted about you will remain (they own their content). You can request those be removed if they violate our policies.

Can I recover my data after deletion?

No. Once deleted, your data cannot be recovered. We recommend exporting your data before requesting deletion.

Do you delete data from other users' devices?

No. We can only delete data from our servers. If another user saved your profile or photos, they are responsible for deleting those.

Will you keep my account name available?

We may retain your username in a reserved list to prevent impersonation or re-registration by bad actors.

Can I delete specific data without deleting my entire account?

Yes. You can delete specific listings, photos, or messages through your account settings. For selective data deletion, email dpo@exinndigital.com.

What if I have an ongoing rental agreement?

We may delay deletion until the agreement is completed or resolved. This protects both you and other parties in the transaction.
