Delete your account

Before you delete

• You will not be able to log in to this account again.
• Courses, notes, memberships and anything else you bought belong to this account. You lose access to them when the account is closed.
• Sikhami has no option to pause or switch off an account for a while. There is only delete.
• If you only want fewer people to see your posts, you can make your account private instead.
• If you sell on Sikhami and have a question about money owed to you, write to help@sikhami.com before you delete.

Other ways to delete

The public page Delete your Sikhami account lists every way. You can open it without logging in. In Settings it is the row How to delete your account.

• In the Android app: open Settings, then Account, then Delete account, and confirm.
• Without logging in: fill in the Account Deletion Request Form linked on the Delete your Sikhami account page. Use the phone number or email address registered on your account, so Sikhami can check that the account is yours.
• By email: write to help@sikhami.com from the email address on your account, with the subject "Delete my Sikhami account".

What is deleted

• Your profile: name, username, photo, bio, phone number and email.
• Your posts, clips, stories, comments, polls, likes, saves and quiz history.
• Your messages and club memberships.
• Your followers and following lists, notifications and device tokens (the codes that let Sikhami send alerts to your devices).
• Your sign-in details with Google, phone or email.

What is kept

Sikhami keeps only what the law requires it to keep. This includes records of reports you made or that were made about your account, and payment records for purchases.

How long it takes

Can I undo it?

No. Deletion is permanent, and Sikhami cannot bring a deleted account back.

If you sign up again later, even with the same Google account or phone number, you start with a new, empty account. Your old posts, followers and purchases do not come back.
