Privacy requests and account deletion

Delete your account. Go to Profile > Delete account. Deletion is immediate. We remove your login, profile, photo, languages, blocks, notification devices, and your conversations for both people. A few things remain for a limited time, such as safety reports and backups. Others stay without your name, such as feedback and business listings you submitted. Privacy Policy section 12 explains each one.

Edit or remove your details. Most details can be changed on your Profile: country of origin, hometown, languages, bio, photo and contact language. You can also hide yourself from people search at any time.

Ask for a copy, a correction, or anything else. Email contact@nearroots.com from the email address on your account and tell us what you need:

• a copy of your information;
• a correction;
• deletion of something specific;
• withdrawing consent;
• a question about how we use your information.

We reply within 30 days. If we can't do what you ask, we will explain why, and you can reply "Appeal" for a second review.

Complaints. You can contact a regulator where you live:

• your state Attorney General (US);
• the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, at priv.gc.ca;
• the Commission d'accès à l'information, at cai.gouv.qc.ca (Quebec);
• the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, at oaic.gov.au.
