To do so, send an email to contact@amongchristians.com with the subject “Data deletion request”, using the email address linked to your account, and tell us which account you want deleted. For security reasons, we may ask you to confirm your identity before proceeding.
We will process your request within a reasonable time, and no later than 30 days after confirming your identity. Once your account is deleted, your profile and personal data will be removed from the platform, except for information we are legally required or have a legitimate reason to keep, such as for security, fraud prevention, or legal compliance.
If you signed in with Facebook or Google, you may also remove Among Christians from the apps and websites connected to your Facebook or Google account at any time.
