Account Deletion

Thinking of deleting your Ecoride account?

This page serves to explain how Ecoride handles account deletion requests, what changes immediately, and what to expect during the process

Before You Continue

Three things to review before you request deletion

1

Use the deletion flow for the app or access type you actually want to remove.

2

Read the recovery-window section before confirming if there is any chance you may need the account again soon.

3

Contact support first if you are unsure whether your rider access, driver access, or both may be affected.

How It Works

A step-by-step view of the deletion flow

Visualise properly, the steps taken during the process of deleting your account

1

Step 01

Verify your identity

Before a deletion request can move forward, Ecoride verifies that the request is really coming from you using the contact details already attached to your account.

2

Step 02

Relevant access is frozen quickly

Once the request is confirmed, the rider or driver access affected by that request is disabled so new bookings, trips, or account activity cannot continue through that flow.

3

Step 03

A 30-day recovery window begins

For the next 30 days you can still restore eligible access by completing verification again. This protects people who acted by mistake or need to recover an account quickly.

4

Step 04

After the recovery window ends

After that recovery window, the request continues through Ecoride account-handling processes. Some records may still be retained where law, safety, fraud prevention, or financial compliance require it.

Data And Access

What a deletion request can affect

Different parts of your account are handled differently. Some details stop being available in active use quickly, while some records may stay available only where Ecoride must keep them for safety, legal, regulatory, dispute, or financial reasons. This page should also be read alongside the Ecoride Privacy Policy.

Profile and access information

  • Name, contact details, and sign-in access
  • Saved preferences and account settings
  • Active sessions on the affected app or service

Trip-related records

  • Ride history and trip activity connected to your account
  • Saved places, convenience settings, and rider-side shortcuts
  • Driver-side platform access linked to the same account when applicable

Payments, support, and compliance records

  • Billing and payout-related history may be retained where required
  • Safety, fraud, dispute, and support records may be kept when necessary
  • Some records may remain in limited form for legal or regulatory obligations

Retention notice

Ecoride may retain limited records where this is needed for legal duties, fraud prevention, payment reconciliation, dispute resolution, platform safety, or other regulatory obligations.

That may include limited transaction, safety, support, or audit records that cannot be removed immediately while those obligations are still active.
