Deleting your account

Temple Funds · Last updated 13 September 2026

Anyone may ask us to delete their account and personal data. This page explains how to ask, and exactly what happens when you do.

To make a request, email templefunds.support@gmail.com

Include your name, the phone number you sign in with, and your temple's name, so we can find the right account. We reply within 30 days.

How accounts work here

Temple Funds has no sign-up. You cannot create an account yourself — a temple's administrator creates one for you, in the same way an employer issues a work login. That is why deletion is a request to us rather than a button in the app.

What happens after you ask

If you are a collection agent We pass your request to your temple's administrator, who removes your access from within the app. Your login stops working. Your name and phone number are removed from the active roster.
If you are a temple administrator If you want the temple's account closed, we suspend it. Every administrator and agent at that temple is signed out immediately and can no longer sign in.

What we delete

What we keep, and why

Donation records are kept. Every receipt you recorded — the donor, the amount, the date, the receipt number — stays in the temple's records.

These are the temple's financial records, not yours. A temple has to be able to answer "who gave what, and when" long after a particular volunteer has moved on, and deleting a collector's history would tear holes in the accounts of a festival that already happened. Your name remains attached to the receipts you wrote, for the same reason a name stays on a paper receipt book.

If you are a donor, not a user of the app

Your temple's agents may have recorded your name, phone number and house number when you gave. You have no account with us — the temple holds those records. Ask your temple directly, or email us and we will put you in touch with the right administrator.

Your rights

Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 you may ask what personal data we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected, and ask for it to be deleted. Where we cannot delete something — such as a financial record a temple is required to keep — we will tell you what we are keeping and why.
