Data Deletion Instructions
Last updated: October 15, 2026
Use this page to request deletion of personal information associated with JerseyTalks accounts, mobile app use, submissions, events, payments, or connected social login data.
Delete Your Account
Sign in, open Notifications & Newsletters, and find Delete your account at the bottom of the page. Choose Delete my account, type DELETE, and confirm. The website option also works for accounts used in the mobile app. Mobile versions with account deletion offer the same control in My Jersey. If the control is unavailable or fails, email us using the instructions below.
After a successful confirmation, your account profile name and email are replaced with anonymized values, your login identities are removed, and your sign-in sessions are revoked. Account follows, saved preferences, likes, and linked device notification connections are removed or deactivated, and your account email is unsubscribed from optional newsletters. Account closure cannot be undone.
This does not automatically erase submissions or uploaded files, event listings or drafts, advertising orders, payment records, audit records, or content already published on our website or social channels. These records can contain contact details separate from your account profile. For review of those records, send a separate deletion or content-removal request below. Deleting your account does not cancel an event, order, payment obligation, or scheduled placement, or request a refund.
Account deletion also does not clear local app caches on every device, reset browser cookie choices, or automatically erase analytics or diagnostic data held by service providers. Use the local-data controls or request assistance below. Browser and operating-system notification permissions remain under your control.
Mobile App and Guest Data
In the mobile app, open Browse, then Settings, and choose Delete local app data to clear saved preferences and cached content from that device. This control does not erase published content, submitted media, or data already processed by JerseyTalks servers or Firebase services.
Turning notification delivery off requests deactivation of the device subscription and removal of its local messaging token. Server cleanup requires a network connection and may need to be retried if a request fails. You can also revoke notification permission in your device settings.
To request deletion of remote mobile app, notification, analytics, diagnostic, or submission data, email us using the instructions below. Tell us that your request concerns the mobile app and whether you used iOS or Android. Because guest app use does not require an account, an email address alone may not identify device-related records. We will explain what additional information is needed to locate relevant records and which requests we can fulfill. Uninstalling the app or clearing local data does not by itself submit a remote-data deletion request.
How to Request Deletion
Email contact@jerseytalks.com with the subject line JerseyTalks data deletion request.
Include the email address used with JerseyTalks, the type of data you want deleted, and any relevant event, submission, or account details that help us locate the records.
You can make this request without signing in, including after closing your account. We may verify your identity or authority before acting. Do not send passwords, payment card numbers, or identity documents unless we explain why additional information is needed and how to provide it securely. Parents or guardians can use this email route for a child's information or content.
If your request relates to Facebook, Instagram, Threads, or another connected social account, include the social profile handle or Page/account name connected to JerseyTalks.
What We Delete
For verified requests, we review the specific records you identify and delete or anonymize eligible personal information. This can include unpublished submissions, event drafts, unused uploaded media, and stored social account connection data. This review is separate from automatic account closure; we will explain any information we cannot delete and the reason.
We may retain limited records where required or permitted for legal compliance, payment and tax records, fraud prevention, security logs, dispute handling, moderation history, editorial records, or published public-interest content.
Timing
Account closure takes effect when the account-deletion control reports success. For emailed requests, we aim to acknowledge receipt within 10 business days and complete eligible requests within 30 days. Applicable legal deadlines govern: where the New Jersey Data Privacy Act applies, we respond within 45 days of receipt and may extend once by up to 45 additional days when reasonably necessary, with notice and the reason within the initial period. Shorter applicable deadlines still apply.
If we decline a privacy request, we explain why and how to appeal. Reply to the decision or email contact@jerseytalks.com with the subject Privacy appeal within 45 days. We respond to appeals in writing within 45 days. Our state privacy notice explains available rights and complaint options.
