Delete your PickYou account
Last updated 22 August 2026
This document is published in English, the approved source version. Translations are provided for convenience only; if a reviewed translation is unavailable the English text governs.
You can close your PickYou account yourself, from inside the app, at any time. This page explains how, and exactly what happens to your information.
Delete it in the app
- Sign in to PickYou.
- Open Account & data from any portal — rider, driver, taxi company or admin.
- Choose Delete my account, then type DELETE to confirm.
- For your safety, PickYou asks for a sign-in from the last 10 minutes before it proceeds.
Go to Account & data if you are already signed in.
If you cannot sign in
Email privacy@pickyou.ca from the address on the account. PickYou verifies the request and completes the deletion within 30 days.
What is deleted, anonymised and kept
- Sign-in identity (email, password, Google link, sessions) — erased: Identity is not a business record.
- Saved accessibility preferences — erased: Released per ride only; nothing to retain.
- Live location points — erased: Operational only, never a history.
- Trusted-contact details — erased: Belongs to the person who left.
- PickYou roles and portal links — erased: Access ends with the account.
- Rider record (name, email, phone) — anonymized: The record is referenced by rides; the person is not.
- Driver record (name, email, phone) — anonymized: Licence and permit facts stay for regulators; contact detail does not.
- Rides and PickYou Trip IDs — retained: Immutable dispatch and accounting records.
- Fares, fees and settlement — retained: Financial reconciliation and tax retention.
- Ride audit history — retained: Append-only; it can never be rewritten.
- Safety and security cases — retained: Investigations outlive an account.
- Admin action log — retained: Accountability for PickYou's own staff.
- Taxi company and vehicle records — retained: Company records, not personal data.
Deletion is immediate. Rides, fares, PickYou fees, safety cases and audit history are kept for about 7 years to meet tax, insurance and territorial transport requirements, and no longer identify you.
Cases PickYou has to resolve first
- A ride still in progress must finish or be cancelled.
- The last remaining PickYou admin must appoint another admin.
- The only account attached to an active taxi company must have a replacement contact attached.
