| Account | How | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Member | In the app or on the website, yourself (steps below) | Access stops at once; your account and health record are permanently deleted 30 days later, unless you restore it first. |
| Family profile you keep under your login (a child, or an adult without their own login) | It has no login of its own, so it cannot be deleted by itself. See Family profiles. | If you delete your own account, the profiles you keep stay with it for the 30 days and are then archived, not erased. A child who has a co-guardian goes to that guardian at once. |
| Member whose record was first made by a family member or a clinic, and who later signed in with their own number | The in-app delete does not work for these accounts yet. Email us (steps below). | We delete the account within 30 days of your request. |
| Doctor | In the app: Settings → Security Settings → Delete My Account. Not on the website. | Your doctor account is closed, not erased: you are signed out, cannot sign in again, and members and clinics can no longer find or reach you. Your details stay on file. To ask for them to be erased, email us. |
| Clinic | Not in the app or on the website. Email us from the clinic's registered email. | VistaLogic closes the clinic account within 30 days. See Clinic accounts. |
If one mobile number has both a member account and a doctor account, deleting the member account does not close the doctor account, and closing the doctor account does not delete the member account. Do each one separately.
You can come back anytime within 30 days. Sign in with the same mobile number (in the app or on the website) and choose Restore my account. The app shows the date your account will be deleted; if your email address is verified, we also email you when you delete and again 7 days before that date.
Only VistaLogic can close a clinic account. When we close it:
When you tap Delete account, these stop at once: doctors, clinics and family members you shared with lose access; your share links stop working and your requests leave doctors' inboxes; consents you gave to hospitals and other apps (Connected Apps) are marked withdrawn; upcoming clinic bookings and video visits are cancelled (a paid video visit 24 hours or more away is refunded in full by the clinic or doctor; a paid video visit less than 24 hours away, and a clinic booking paid in the app, are not refunded), so no doctor or clinic keeps a slot for you; reminders and notifications stop, and your notifications are cleared; and you are signed out on every device. A child who has a co-guardian is handed over to that guardian at once. For the next 30 days your data is kept unchanged and hidden from everyone.
After 30 days (or at once, if you ask support), the following are permanently deleted:
Family profiles you keep are archived at that point. After the 30 days your account and health records cannot be recovered.
Backups: our databases keep continuous backups for 35 days, so a deleted record leaves them within a further 35 days after it is deleted. Deleted files leave our storage within 90 days (the storage keeps earlier versions of a file for that long).
We keep the items below after an account is deleted. Some are needed by law. Others are kept because VistaHealth cannot erase them with the account yet; we say so plainly, and you can ask us to erase them by email.
| What | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| The record that you accepted our Terms and answered the privacy choices: date, version, app and the IP address it came from | Proof of consent | Kept after deletion. No end date is set yet. |
| Proof that your account was deleted: your VistaHealth ID, your name, the dates, and counts of what was removed. No health information. | Proof that we did what you asked | Kept after deletion. No end date is set yet. |
| Your registration details (name and mobile number) | The IT (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021 | At least 180 days after deletion (they are also in the two rows above and the sign-in row below) |
| Your payments and GST invoices | Tax and company law | 8 years from the end of the financial year they relate to |
| The log of what a hospital or app you shared with read, and when | Evidence for you and for the hospital | Kept after deletion. No end date is set yet. |
| Security and access logs on our servers (which can include your account ID and IP address) | Security, and the CERT-In and DPDP log rules | About 400 days |
| What | What happens today | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Your mobile number in our sign-in service | Not removed. If you register again with the same number, you start with an empty record. | No end date |
| Family profiles you kept under your login | Archived, not erased: their records and files stay, but no one can open them in the app. A child with a co-guardian moves to that guardian instead. | Until someone asks us to erase them. No automatic end date runs yet. |
| Messages between you and clinics or doctors | Not erased | No end date |
| Community posts and replies | Not erased. Community is switched off at present, so posts cannot be removed in the app; email us to have them erased. | No end date |
| Results the report reader worked out from your uploads (kept beside the reading job, not in your record) | Not erased | No end date |
| A "Download everything" copy you asked for | Deleted the next time it is opened after its 24 hours, otherwise left in storage | No end date if never opened again |
| Support tickets, feedback, and pictures or screen recordings you attached | Not erased | No end date |
| Notifications in the bell | Not erased with the account | Removed automatically within 90 days |
| Your phone's notification token | Not erased with the account | Removed automatically 180 days after it was last used |
| The devices you signed in on (device name and platform) | Not erased with the account | Removed automatically about 400 days after the device first signed in |
If you linked your ABHA, deleting your VistaHealth account does not tell ABDM. Approvals (consents) you gave in your ABHA app stay there until they expire or you revoke them.
Records other hospitals sent to VistaHealth for you through ABDM are erased from VistaHealth when you delete your account, and also when your approval expires or is revoked.
| To remove | Where (phone app) | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| A report you uploaded | Reports → tap Remove on the report → Save changes | The report leaves your list. Its file and the results read from it are not erased yet (see the note above). Reports a doctor wrote cannot be removed this way. |
| An entry from a hospital | Tap Remove on the entry and confirm | It stays removed: the hospital's next update will not add it back. |
| A tracker and its entries | Open the tracker → Remove this tracker → Remove tracker and entries | The tracker and its entries leave your record. |
