This page explains how to have your GarageOS account and its data deleted, what gets removed, and what the law obliges us to keep.
There is no delete button inside the app yet. We are not going to pretend otherwise. Deletion is handled by request, by a person, and it is honoured — the steps are below and they work today.
We will confirm by SMS or a reply to that address before anything is deleted, so that nobody can close your account by writing to us in your name. If we cannot reach you to confirm, we will not proceed.
Timing. We act within 30 days of confirming the request, and usually within a few working days.
| What | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Issued invoices | An invoice is a tax record belonging to the garage that issued it, not to us. Indian GST rules require a business to keep them. | At least six years |
| Photographs of the vehicle, and the job card they belong to | These are the garage's record of a car's condition when it arrived and when it left. They exist so that a dispute about damage can be settled, and a record that can be removed after the argument starts is not a record. | Kept by the garage |
| Backups | Deletion happens in the live system promptly. Backups are written so a failure can be recovered from and are not edited afterwards. | Ages out on its own schedule |
Where a record has to be kept, your name and mobile number are removed from it wherever the document does not legally require them. What remains is the work and the amount, not you.
A staff account is deleted the same way, and the person who owns the garage can also remove staff directly in the app under Staff.
Closing an entire garage is different. A garage account carries other people's records — its customers' vehicles, job cards and invoices, and its staff members' accounts. We will not delete those on a single email. Write to us and we will take you through it, including what has to be exported or handed over first, and what your own customers are entitled to.
Worth saying, because it shortens the list: GarageOS has no advertising, no analytics service, and no third-party tracking. It does not read your contacts, your location, your messages, or your call history. There is no profile of you held anywhere to delete.
If you asked for deletion and it did not happen, or you believe data about you is still held, write again to the same email address and say so.
