Delete Your Account
Gatekeep, operated by Yash Rao
This page explains how to request deletion of your Gatekeep account and the data associated with it. Gatekeep and its related services are operated by Yash Rao (“we”, “us”). You can delete your account yourself from inside the app, or — if you no longer have the app installed — by emailing us. Both options are described below.
Option 1: Delete your account from within the app
This is the fastest method and immediately starts the deletion of your account and personal data:
- Open the Gatekeep app and make sure you are signed in.
- Tap your Profile tab, then tap the Settings (gear) icon in the top corner.
- Scroll to the account section and tap “Delete account”.
- In the confirmation dialog, type DELETE to confirm, then tap Delete.
Your account is then permanently deleted. This action cannot be undone.
Option 2: Request deletion by email
If you can no longer access the app (for example, you have already uninstalled it), email us at yash@getgatekeep.com from the email or phone number associated with your account, with the subject line “Delete my account”. So we can verify your identity and locate the correct account, please include the phone number you used to sign in. We will process verified deletion requests and confirm by reply.
What data is deleted
When you delete your account, we permanently remove the data we hold that identifies you, including:
- Your account and sign-in identity (the phone number used to authenticate)
- Your profile information and profile photo / avatar
- Your reviews, ratings, and takes
- Your crates (saved lists) and their cover images
- Your bookmarks and saved places
- Your follows and friend connections
- Photos and media you uploaded (review photos, crate covers, and place/event media)
What data is kept, and for how long
Deletion of your account and associated personal data is completed within 30 days of a verified request, including removal from active systems and routine backups.
We may retain a limited set of data after deletion:
- Aggregated or anonymized data that no longer identifies you (for example, usage statistics) — retained indefinitely.
- De-identified contributions to shared features — content you added to shared or community contexts may remain after being disconnected from your identity, so it no longer points back to you.
- Records we are legally required to keep (for example, to comply with legal, tax, fraud-prevention, or security obligations) — retained only for as long as applicable law requires.
