Before you can delete
To protect the people you're renting with, deletion is paused until:
- No bookings are in progress. Any booking that has been accepted, paid, picked up or returned must be completed or canceled first, whether you're the renter or the host.
- No payment disputes are open on your bookings.
- All host earnings have been paid out to your bank account.
If something is blocking deletion, the delete screen tells you exactly what it is.
Inquiries that haven't been accepted yet don't block deletion. They are canceled automatically.
What is deleted
- Your sign-in account: name, email address and password
- Your saved addresses
- Your saved payment methods
- Your host payout account
- Your favourites
- Your notifications and notification settings
- Your registered devices, so you stop receiving push notifications
- Your listings, which are unpublished and removed from Curba
What is kept, and why
Some records involve other people or are required by law. We keep them, but remove your name from them:
| Data | What happens | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Booking, payment and payout records | Kept, shown as "Deleted user" | At least 7 years (Canadian tax and accounting law) |
| Reviews you wrote | Stay on the listing, shown as "Deleted user" | While the listing's reviews are shown |
| Messages you sent | Stay in the other person's conversation | Up to 36 months after the rental ended |
| Identity verification documents | Held by our payment provider Stripe, not by Curba | As required by anti-money-laundering and identity rules (typically 7 years) |
After these periods the records are deleted or fully anonymised. See the Privacy Policy for details.
Deletion is permanent
A deleted account can't be restored. If you want to use Curba again later, you'll need to create a new account.
