Delete Your Karam Account

Last updated: August 24, 2026

Applies to the Karam mobile app (iOS & Android) and karam-app.com

Overview

You can permanently delete your Karam account at any time. Deletion is immediate and irreversible. Once your account is deleted, it cannot be recovered — you would need to create a new account to use Karam again.

This page explains exactly how to delete your account, what personal data is removed, what records we are legally required to retain, and for how long.

How to Delete Your Account (In-App)

The fastest way to delete your account is directly inside the Karam mobile app:

  1. Open the Karam app on your phone.
  2. Tap the Account tab in the bottom navigation bar.
  3. Scroll down and tap Delete Account.
  4. Confirm the deletion when prompted.

Important

Deletion happens as soon as you confirm. Your data cannot be restored afterwards, and any unused Karam Wallet balance is forfeited. Please redeem any wallet balance before deleting.

What Is Deleted Immediately

When you delete your account, the following personal data is removed from our systems right away:

  • Your profile (name, phone number, email address, password)
  • Your saved addresses (Home, Work, Other) — these are only ever stored on your device and are cleared on sign-out; account deletion removes any server-side reference to them
  • Your Karam Wallet balance (any remaining credit is forfeited)
  • Your preferences (language, notification settings)
  • Your favorite restaurants and saved items
  • Your push notification tokens (so no further notifications can be sent to your device)
  • Your support-ticket history and comments
  • Your reviews and ratings (removed or anonymised)

What Is Kept, and For How Long

Qatar law and financial-record best practice require us to retain certain transaction records after your account is deleted. This is standard for any business that handles payments — we cannot delete records of money that was received or refunded.

The table below lists exactly what we retain, why, and for how long. After the retention period ends, records are either permanently deleted or fully anonymised (all personal identifiers removed).

Data KeptReasonRetention Period
Order records (order ID, items, amount, restaurant, timestamps)Legal, accounting, and tax compliance under Qatari commercial law3 years from the order date
Payment and refund records (amount, method, status)Financial-record obligations; audit trail for our payment provider3 years from the transaction date
Restaurant-facing customer name and phone (attached to a past order)So the restaurant can look up historical orders for their own records3 years, then anonymised
Anonymised, aggregate analyticsUnderstanding food-waste impact and app usage — cannot be linked to youIndefinite (contains no personal data)
Fraud-prevention markers (if your account was closed for abuse)To prevent a banned user from re-registering under a new accountIndefinite

After 3 years, all personal identifiers are removed from order and payment records. What remains is anonymised — it cannot be linked back to you or used to identify you.

Alternative: Delete by Email

If you cannot access the app for any reason — for example, you no longer have the phone the account was created on, or you have forgotten your password — you can request deletion by email:

Email us at support@karam-app.com from the email address associated with your Karam account. Please include:

  • Your full name (as registered on Karam)
  • The phone number registered on your account
  • A short subject line: "Delete my Karam account"

We will verify your identity and complete the deletion within 7 business days. You will receive a confirmation email once your account has been deleted.

After Deletion

  • You will be signed out of the app on all devices.
  • You can create a new Karam account with a different email address at any time.
  • If your account was closed for policy violations, you will not be permitted to re-register (see our Terms & Conditions).
  • Restaurants you previously ordered from may retain a record of the order for their own tax and accounting purposes; this record does not include your personal contact information after 3 years.
