Delete Your Account
How to delete your Elko Local account and what happens to your data.
Last updated Oct 16, 2026
You can delete your Elko Local account and the personal data tied to it at any time. Deleting your account in the app or on the website is the same thing, because the app uses the website.
Delete in the app
- Open the Elko Local app and sign in.
- Go to your account area (My Account).
- Tap "Delete my account."
- Confirm. You will be signed out, and your account will be deleted.
Delete on the website
- Sign in at https://elkolocal.com/sign-in/.
- Go to your account area (My Account).
- Click "Delete my account" and confirm.
Can't sign in? Ask us to delete it
Email admin@elkolocal.com with the subject "Delete my account" and include the email address on your account. Or use the form below. To protect you, we will send a confirmation link to the account's email address before deleting anything. We will finish the request within 30 days, and usually much sooner.
What gets deleted
- Your account: name, email, password, and profile.
- Your resume and its entry in the talent pool.
- Your classified ads, garage sales (including addresses), events, job posts, and photos.
- Your saved items and settings, and any push notification device token.
What we keep, and for how long
- Payment and invoice records for job posts, directory plans, or ads: kept for tax and accounting, typically up to 7 years. Card numbers are never stored by us.
- Business directory listings: a business listing you claimed may stay on the site as general business information, without your personal account details. Ask us if you want it removed.
- Backups: deleted data can remain in server backups for up to 30 days until they are overwritten.
- Records we must keep to follow the law, resolve disputes, or deal with abuse reports.
- Resumes already downloaded by employers before deletion are no longer in our control.
