Account Deletion
Delete Your Peplo Account
Peplo provides two ways to request account deletion.
1. From the Peplo app
Go to Settings → Delete Account to permanently delete your account and associated data.
2. If you no longer have access to the Peplo app
Request deletion by emailing muezz.dev@gmail.com with the subject line “Peplo Account Deletion Request”.
Please include the email address associated with your Peplo account so we can verify the request and process the deletion.
When your account is deleted, your profile, connections, meetings, career history, notifications, card share records, and authentication credentials are permanently deleted from Peplo’s systems.
Profile photos hosted on Cloudinary may remain in CDN cache for up to 30 days because of CDN propagation delays, but they become inaccessible through the Peplo app immediately.
Data We Collect & Why
Profile data
Name, job title, company, industry, department, bio, location, years of experience, skills, languages, social links, profile photo, and cover photo — stored to power your digital business card.
Contact details
Email, phone, and WhatsApp — stored securely and only shown to users you are connected with.
Career history
Employment records you optionally add. Visibility is controlled by your privacy setting (Private / Connections only / Everyone).
Connection & meeting data
Records of accepted connections, pending requests, and scheduled meetings between you and other users.
Card share activity
A count of how many times you have shared your card, used only to generate your personal analytics. Never shared with third parties.
Notifications
In-app notification history stored server-side and shown only to you.
Bluetooth & Nearby Discovery
When you activate the Nearby feature, your device uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to discover and be discovered by other Peplo users physically close to you.
- What is broadcast: A randomly generated temporary ID (changes every session) embedded in a BLE service UUID. This ID is never your real user ID or any persistent identifier.
- What is shown to nearby peers: Your name, job title, company, and profile photo — identical to what you share via QR or NFC.
- Scanning: While Nearby is active, your device scans for other BLE devices. Raw device hardware IDs (MAC addresses) are read by the OS but are never stored by Peplo.
- Location permission (Android): Android requires the Fine Location permission to use Bluetooth scanning. Peplo does NOT collect or store your GPS location. This permission is used solely to enable Bluetooth discovery as required by the Android platform.
All Nearby data is ephemeral — it exists only in memory while the feature is active and is cleared when you stop it or leave the screen.
Camera & QR Scanning
- QR scanning: The camera is used exclusively for scanning QR codes to identify other Peplo users. The camera feed is processed entirely on-device in real time and is never transmitted to our servers or recorded.
- Photos: The camera is also used optionally when you choose to take a profile or cover photo. Photos are only uploaded to our servers when you explicitly tap "Save."
What Others Can See
Public profile (anyone on Peplo)
Name, title, company, industry, skills, languages, bio, location, years of experience, social links, and profile/cover photo.
Connections only
Your private contact details (email, phone, WhatsApp) are shown exclusively to users you have accepted as connections.
Career history
Visibility is set by you — Private (only you), Connections only, or Everyone. You can change this at any time in Settings → Edit Profile.
Private notes & tags
Relationship notes, tags, and “where we met” information you add about a connection are entirely private and are never visible to the other person.
If you set your profile to Private, it will not appear in search results or QR/NFC shares for unauthenticated users.
Third-Party Data Processors
Peplo uses the following trusted third-party services to operate the app:
Supabase (supabase.com)
Stores your profile, connections, meetings, and all app data in a secure, isolated PostgreSQL database with row-level security enforced.
Cloudinary (cloudinary.com)
Hosts your profile and cover photos. Images are uploaded directly from your device using a scoped, unsigned upload preset. No secret credentials are stored on your device.
Neither Supabase nor Cloudinary sell your data to third parties. No advertising networks, data brokers, or analytics platforms receive your personal data.
Data Retention
Your data is retained for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, all data — including your profile, connections, meetings, career history, notifications, card share logs, and authentication credentials — is permanently and irreversibly erased from our systems within seconds. This cascade deletion occurs server-side via a secure database function.
Profile photos hosted on Cloudinary may remain in their CDN cache for up to 30 days after account deletion due to CDN propagation delays, but become inaccessible via the app immediately.
Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)
Regardless of where you are located, you have the right to:
Access
View all data we hold about you (visible in the app).
Rectification
Edit or correct your profile data at any time.
Erasure
