Account & Data Deletion Request
ADL ("عدل") respects your right to control your personal data. You may request permanent deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by following the steps below.

1 How to Request Deletion

The fastest way is inside the app. Open ADL and go to Settings → Account → Delete Account. You will be asked to type your registered email address to confirm. Deletion happens immediately — there is nothing to wait for and no request to send.

If you cannot sign in, or you prefer to ask us to do it, send an email to the address below instead. Please use the same email address that is registered with your ADL account so we can verify your identity.

Send your deletion request to

Include the following in your email:

2 What Happens Next

  1. We will verify your identity using the email address on file.
  2. Once verified, your account and all associated data will be permanently deleted within 30 days of the request.
  3. You will receive a confirmation email once the deletion is complete.
This action is irreversible. Once your account is deleted, all your data is permanently removed from our servers and cannot be recovered. You will need to create a new account if you wish to use ADL again.

3 Data That Is Deleted

When your account is deleted, the following data is permanently removed from our servers:

Data Type Action
Account information (name, email, phone number, password) Deleted
Notes, folders, folder categories and comments Deleted
Files and images stored in your folders Deleted — the stored objects themselves are removed from storage, not just the records pointing at them
References you saved into folders (law articles, rulings, AI conversations) Deleted
Your storage-usage record Deleted
Contracts and versions Deleted
AI Agent conversations and messages Deleted
Sync metadata and change history Deleted
Authentication tokens Deleted
Your encrypted key record (what makes your content readable to you) Deleted
Linked Google or Apple sign-in Deleted — and for Apple, we tell Apple to sever the link
Subscription and credit-purchase records, and any unused AI credits Deleted — unused credits are forfeited
Reports you sent us about an AI answer Deleted

Your notes, folders, saved references, contracts, and stored files are end-to-end encrypted: we only ever hold them as ciphertext we cannot read, and deletion removes that ciphertext entirely. Files are the one part of your data that is stored as objects rather than database rows, so we record every one of your objects at the moment of deletion and delete them from storage — a deletion that is retried until it is confirmed, rather than assumed. Cancelling a subscription first is not required — but note that deleting your account does not cancel a subscription billed by Apple or Google. Cancel it in your App Store or Google Play account settings, otherwise it keeps renewing.

4 Data Stored Only on Your Device

Some data is stored locally on your device and is not kept on our servers. This data is not affected by a server-side account deletion:

Data Type Action
Calendar events created by reminders Device only — manage in your calendar app
Starred/bookmarked rulings Device only — cleared by uninstalling the app
App preferences (theme, language) Device only — cleared by uninstalling the app
Ruling documents (PDFs) downloaded for offline reference Device only — cleared by uninstalling the app
Encrypted copies of folder files you have opened, kept for offline access Device only — erased when you sign out, and by uninstalling the app
Readable copies of files, written only while one is being viewed or shared Device only — erased when you sign out and every time the app restarts

To remove all local data, simply uninstall the ADL app from your device.

5 Retention Period

We do not retain your personal data after deletion is complete. Deleting in the app takes effect immediately; an emailed request is completed within 30 days of verification. There is no additional retention period beyond that. Residual copies may persist briefly in our providers' encrypted infrastructure backups before they are overwritten, and we may keep a minimal record where the law requires it. We run no analytics or tracking, so there is no usage profile of you to retain in the first place.
