Account Deletion Form
Delete Your Jikeleza Account
You can permanently delete your Jikeleza account and associated personal data directly from this page without installing or opening the mobile app.
We will send a secure One-Time PIN (OTP) to verify that you own and control the account. No account can be deleted without owner authentication.
Personal identity is erased. Statutory financial transaction logs and ride records are retained in anonymized format under South African tax and POPIA compliance.
What Is Immediately Anonymized or Deleted
Upon successful OTP verification and confirmation, the following records are immediately wiped or de-identified:
- ✓ Personal identifiers: First name, last name, phone number, email address, date of birth, and referral codes.
- ✓ Saved locations: Home, work, and custom saved addresses.
- ✓ Emergency contacts: Trusted phone numbers and notification settings.
- ✓ Device tokens & sessions: Push notification tokens, active sessions, and authentication cache keys.
- ✓ Chat communications: In-ride chat message text is permanently purged/redacted.
Lawful Retention Exceptions
Under South African law (including POPIA Section 14 and the Tax Administration Act), certain records must be retained:
- • Financial and tax records: Invoices, transaction values, payment references, and voucher balances must be retained for statutory audit periods (up to 5 years).
- • Dispute and safety records: Resolved safety incidents, complaints, and chargeback audits necessary to defend legal claims.
- • De-identified trip data: Anonymized trip records (pick-up zone, drop-off zone, fare) retained without personal identifiers for platform analytics.
Notice for Drivers & Vehicle Owners
If your account is registered as a Driver or Vehicle Owner, all active rides must be completed, and any pending settlements or payout batches must be finalized before deletion can proceed. If you have an outstanding settlement in process, the system will block deletion and request you to contact dispatch at 084 887 0539.
