Delete your account
& data

SkyOwl · Effective 7 July 2026

You can delete your SkyOwl account and request removal of your personal data at any time. This page explains how to request deletion, what is deleted, and what — for research reasons — may be retained.

01How to request deletion

Send us a deletion request and we will process it. The fastest way is to email us from the address associated with your account:

Request account & data deletion Email a deletion request →

Or write to info@skyowl.tech (cc fabio.mattioli@unimelb.edu.au) with the subject "SkyOwl account deletion request".

  1. Email us from your account address using the button above, or tell us the name and email on your account so we can verify the request.
  2. We confirm your identity to make sure the request is genuine and protect your data.
  3. We delete your account and personal data and send you a confirmation once it is done.

02What gets deleted

03What may be retained

Because SkyOwl is a research project, some information cannot always be individually withdrawn:

Data
Retention
Account & personal identifiers
Deleted on request.
Unprocessed data (recent)
Deleted or restricted on request up to two weeks after collection.
De-identified data already used in research or model training
Retained — it is no longer linked to you and cannot be individually withdrawn.
Records required by law or University policy
Retained for as long as legally required, then deleted.

Deleting your account ends your access to the prototype and withdraws you from this phase of the study.

04How long it takes

We aim to verify and action deletion requests within 30 days. Residual copies in secure backups are removed on our normal backup cycle. We will email you to confirm once deletion is complete.

05Questions
