Delete account
This page explains how to delete your account in the Halal Spots app (developer: Happy Octopus Labs UG (haftungsbeschränkt)). You don't need an account to use the app — it is only required for favorites, reports and spot suggestions.
Option 1: In the app (immediate)
- Open Halal Spots and sign in.
- Go to the Me tab (profile).
- Tap Delete account at the bottom and confirm.
Your account is deleted immediately and permanently.
Option 2: By email (without the app)
Send an email to salam@halal-spots.de with the subject "Konto löschen" (or "Delete account") — ideally from the email address you registered with. If you write from a different address, we will ask you to confirm via your registered address so nobody can delete someone else's account. We delete the account within 30 days at the latest (usually much sooner) and confirm by email.
What is deleted
- Your account: email address, display name, language setting
- Your favorites
- Your reports ("Report a problem")
- Your spot suggestions, including uploaded photos
- For business owners: contact details, requests and submitted photos from the owner portal
What is kept
- Information that we reviewed and added to the public listings (e.g. an approved photo or details of a suggested spot) — without any link to your person.
- Anonymous usage statistics (e.g. how often a listing was opened). They never contained any user or device identifier.
- Backups of our database provider are overwritten automatically; deleted data disappears from them after 30 days at the latest.
Deleting individual data only
You can remove favorites yourself in the app at any time. For anything else (e.g. a single report or suggestion), email us at salam@halal-spots.de — your account stays intact. The newsletter/waitlist is separate from the app account; you can unsubscribe at the same address.
