How to Make a Data Deletion Request
To request the deletion of your personal data, please contact:
For security purposes, we may need to verify your identity before processing your request.
This helps ensure that personal data is only disclosed, modified, or deleted at the request of the legitimate account holder.
What Data Will Be Deleted?
Where legally permitted, we will delete personal information associated with your account, including:
- Personal profile information
- Contact details
- Uploaded documents
- Preferences and settings
- Other personally identifiable information held by Yeeld
We will also disconnect any active Open Banking connections associated with your account.
What If I've Already Closed My Account?
If your account has already been closed, you can still contact us and request the deletion of any remaining personal data that we are not legally required to retain.
Why Can't All Data Always Be Deleted?
As a regulated financial services provider, Yeeld is required by law to retain certain records for specific periods of time.
These requirements may relate to:
- Financial crime prevention
- Anti-money laundering obligations
- Fraud prevention
- Regulatory reporting
- Audit requirements
- Legal and tax obligations
Where retention is required, we cannot immediately delete those records.
What Happens to Data That Must Be Retained?
Where we are required to retain information, we take steps to protect your privacy.
This may include:
- Removing personal identifiers
- Pseudonymising data
- Anonymising data where appropriate
- Restricting access to authorised personnel only
This means the retained information cannot be used in the normal operation of the platform and is held solely to satisfy legal and regulatory obligations.
Connected Account Data
If you disconnect a connected bank account, Yeeld will immediately stop receiving new transaction and balance information from that account.
Any historical data retained will be handled in accordance with our legal and regulatory obligations.
How Long Does a Deletion Request Take?
We aim to process data deletion requests as quickly as possible.
The exact timeframe may vary depending on:
- The complexity of the request
- The products and services you have used
- Any regulatory retention requirements that apply
If additional information is required, our team will contact you directly.
