How to ask us to delete the personal information we hold about you
Effective: 23 April 2026
From inside the app
The fastest way to delete your account and personal data:
-
Open the More menu.
-
Tap Account.
-
Tap Delete account at the bottom of the page.
-
Confirm. We log the request and queue your data for removal.
Your account becomes inaccessible immediately. Personal data is removed from active systems within 30 days.
By email
You may instead email [email protected] from the address on your account with the subject 'Delete my data'. We reply with a confirmation code, complete the deletion, and notify you when done. We may ask for additional information to confirm your identity first.
What gets deleted
-
Your profile, name, email, phone, photo and password.
-
Your posts, comments, likes and messages.
-
Your saved itineraries, bookmarks and preferences.
-
Connected OAuth accounts (Google, Facebook) are unlinked.

What we have to keep
Some information must be retained for legal or accounting reasons; we keep it only as long as the law requires and restrict access:
-
Bookings and orders: retained 5 years (SA tax law); your name is replaced with 'Deleted user' in vendor records.
-
Vendor payouts: payout history retained 5 years.
-
Fraud and abuse records: retained as long as needed to protect the platform.
Facebook login users
If you registered with Facebook Login, you can also request deletion through Facebook's data-deletion callback: Facebook Settings, Apps and Websites, find Visit Gauteng, choose Remove. We receive the request through Facebook and complete it within 30 days.
