Retention & Deletion · User right or choice

Deletion requests have legal retention exceptions

Regardless of location, you can request deletion, subject to legal limits and conditions and appropriate identity verification. Calm says it retains certain information when law requires or permits it, so a deletion request does not promise removal of every record.

Supporting quotations

Regardless of your location, but subject to certain limits and conditions provided under law, you have the right to request to:
delete the information we have about you.
If you request to delete your information, please note that we retain certain information when required or permitted by law.
Where appropriate under applicable law, such as with respect to requests to know, correct, or delete, we may verify your request by asking you to provide information that matches information we have on file.

Cross-references

  • related (model-proposed): California retention is tied to purpose, with a legal extension — references: Deletion requests and California purpose-based retention interact: a deletion request remains subject to legally required or permitted retention, while the California commitment limits duration to necessity unless law requires longer storage. Neither promises immediate deletion of every record.
