Delete your Vice Companion data

This page is for Vice Companion, listed on Google Play as GTAVI Vice: Companion Hub, published by n0xen. The app has no accounts, so there's nothing to close: your data is either on your phone or, if you use sync, in one synced copy on our server.

Delete your synced copy (if you use sync)

1. Open Vice Companion and go to More, Sync.
2. Tap Delete the synced copy and confirm.

That removes your copy from our server straight away. It works whether or not you still own Vice Companion Pro. You can also do it on the website: open your Journal in a browser that's synced and choose to delete the synced copy.

Delete what's on your phone

1. Go to your phone's Settings, Apps, Vice Companion, Storage.
2. Tap Clear storage, or uninstall the app.

That deletes your finds, saved items, journal, settings and the app's offline copies from the phone.

Can't use the app?

Email contact@n0xen.dev with the subject “Vice Companion data deletion” and include your sync code. We don't keep names, email addresses or IP addresses with synced data, so the sync code is the only way we can find yours. We delete it within 30 days and reply to confirm.

What's deleted

• Your synced copy: finds you marked as found or saved, and your journal (notes, titles, places pinned on the map, categories, links and done ticks).

What's kept, and for how long

• Database recovery history: our database provider (Cloudflare) keeps a short point-in-time recovery history, so a deleted synced copy can remain there for up to 30 days before it's gone for good. It isn't used for anything else.
• Spam-protection counts: weekly codes made from IP addresses, with no link to your data. Deleted within a day.
• Finds and guides you sent on the website: if published, they stay on the site (with any credit name you gave). Ones we turn down are deleted 30 days after they were sent. To have a published one removed, email us with a link to it.
• Community check (spotted items, photos and votes): what you send is public on Community check and, if approved, on the site with any credit name you gave. Rejected items are deleted after 30 days, and votes after 90 days. Votes are stored only as one-way codes, so we can't find yours. To have something you sent removed, email us with a link to it or a description. Clearing the app's storage removes your voting id from the phone.
• Ads and purchases: data used for ads is held by Google AdMob, and purchase records by Google Play, under Google's policies. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your phone's settings.

Synced copies nobody has used for 12 months are deleted automatically.
