After deletion is confirmed, [[App]] will:

  • Completely delete all your personal data within 30 days (including account information, AI conversation records, behavioral data)
  • Send a deletion confirmation email to your registered email address
  • Cancel your active subscriptions
  • Anonymize data that must be retained for legal obligations (such as transaction records) rather than deleting it
