1 Request Deletion Through WhatsApp or Telegram
You can request deletion of your Hisab Dost account and associated account data directly from your linked WhatsApp or Telegram chat with the Hisab Dost assistant.
- Use /deletedata in your WhatsApp or Telegram chat to start the deletion request.
- Type DELETE to confirm the request.
- Your account is disabled and new processing stops.
- If available, you may use /canceldelete during the pending deletion window to restore the account.
2 Deletion Timeline
After confirmation, deletion follows this general process:
- Request starts immediately after confirmation
- Your account is disabled and new processing stops
- Pending deletion window of up to 8 hours
- After that, eligible account data is permanently erased from active systems
If deletion is cancelled during the pending deletion window, normal processing may resume and the account may be restored.
3 Request Deletion by Email
If you cannot access the service, you can request deletion by email.
Please send your request to support@michio.in and include:

4 Important Clarifications
- Deletion applies to data processed and stored by Hisab Dost.
- Deletion does not remove messages or records already stored by Telegram, WhatsApp, banks, UPI apps, or other third-party platforms outside our control.
- Some limited records may be retained longer only where required for legal, accounting, fraud prevention, security, audit, tax, billing, or compliance purposes.
- Where backups are used, residual copies of deleted account data may remain in encrypted backups for up to 30 days before removal through backup rotation. Any longer retention applies only to limited records retained separately for an applicable legal, accounting, fraud prevention, security, audit, tax, billing, or compliance purpose.
