Delete Your Archevot Data
Archevot is built around the principle that your data belongs to you. Almost everything the app stores — tasks, journal entries, chat history, calendar events, settings, and AI memories — lives only on your device. There is no Archevot user account and we operate no central servers that hold your content. This means you control the lifecycle of your data and can delete it at any time using the methods below.
1. Delete All Data From Inside the App (Fastest)
This is the most direct way to erase everything Archevot has stored on your device. It takes about ten seconds.
- Open Archevot on your Android device.
- Tap the Settings icon (the gear at the top-right of the home screen).
- Scroll to the Data & Account section.
- Tap Clear All Data.
- Type the word DELETE into the confirmation box to prevent accidental wipes.
- Tap the red Confirm button.
Once confirmed, every item the app stores on your device is permanently removed: tasks and task history, journal entries, chat conversations, AI memories, calendar events, settings, accessibility preferences, trial start date, and any obfuscated API keys you saved. There is no undo — the app re-launches in its initial state as if you had just installed it.
We strongly recommend exporting your data first (Settings › Data & Account › Export Data) before clearing, in case you change your mind. The export is a single JSON file you can re-import later or simply keep for your records.
2. Delete Specific Items
If you only want to remove certain content rather than everything, you can delete individual items without clearing the whole app:
- Tasks & task sessions: Swipe to delete or use the bin icon in the Tasks tab, or remove an entire session from Settings › History.
- Journal entries: Open the Journal tab, tap the entry, then tap the bin icon.
- Chat conversations: Open the chat history (the clock icon in Chat), swipe to delete individual conversations.
- AI Memories: Open the brain icon in Chat (or Settings › AI Memory), then delete individual memory entries.
- Calendar events: Tap an event in the Calendar tab and use the delete button in the event editor.
- API keys: Settings › Data & Account › clear the OpenAI or Anthropic key field and save.
3. Uninstall to Delete Everything
Uninstalling the Archevot app from your Android device permanently deletes every piece of locally stored data, including your trial information. Go to your device's Settings › Apps › Archevot › Uninstall.
Warning: uninstalling cannot be undone. If you reinstall the app later, you will start with a fresh, empty installation and your previous data cannot be recovered. Please export your data beforehand if there is any chance you may want it back.
4. Data Held by Third-Party AI Providers
When you use Archevot's AI features (task generation, chat, voice transcription with Whisper) the relevant text or audio is sent directly from your device to your chosen AI provider over an encrypted HTTPS connection. Archevot never receives or stores that data on its own servers, but the AI provider retains it temporarily according to their own policy:
Anthropic (Claude)
- API inputs and outputs are automatically deleted after 7 days.
- Anthropic does not train its models on API data under standard commercial API terms.
- To request earlier deletion or learn more, contact Anthropic directly through their privacy channel.
OpenAI (Chat and Whisper voice transcription)
- API inputs and outputs — including text sent for AI chat and audio recordings sent for Whisper voice transcription — are retained for up to 30 days before automatic deletion.
- OpenAI does not train its models on API data under standard API terms.
- To request earlier deletion or learn more, contact OpenAI directly through their privacy channel.
To stop sending any further data to these providers, remove your API key from Archevot's settings, or disable the Whisper voice engine in Settings › Voice. Audio captured by the default Android voice engine never leaves your device and is not retained by any third party.
5. Email Us to Request Deletion
If you have contacted us by email at any point, we may hold a record of that correspondence for up to 24 months for support and legal purposes. You can request deletion of that correspondence at any time.
Email support@archevot.com with the subject line "Data Deletion Request". Please include:
- Your name or the name you used when you contacted us
- The email address you used to contact us
- Any reference numbers from previous correspondence (if known)
We will respond within 30 days and confirm once the deletion has been completed. We do not charge a fee for this and we will not discriminate against you for exercising this right.
6. Automatic Deletion
To help manage local storage on your device, Archevot also performs automatic deletion on a schedule:
- Task data older than 48 hours is automatically cleared from active session memory.
- Full task sessions and chat conversations older than 90 days are automatically removed from the app.
If you want to keep older data, export it to a file before the 90-day window via Settings › Data & Account › Export Data.
7. Your Rights and How Long This Takes
Under UK GDPR, EU GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and equivalent laws elsewhere, you have the right to request deletion of personal data held about you (sometimes called the "right to erasure" or "right to be forgotten").
For data stored only on your device, deletion is instant via the in-app methods above. For any email correspondence we hold, deletion will be completed within 30 days of receiving your request. For data held by third-party AI providers, you should contact OpenAI or Anthropic directly — their retention windows (7 and 30 days respectively) mean automatic deletion happens quickly even without a request.
