Help Us Vets — Data Deletion Instructions
This page explains how users of Help Us Vets can request permanent deletion of their account and associated personal data. For what we collect and how we use it, see our Privacy Policy.
Option 1 — Delete in the app (recommended)
- Open Help Us Vets on your device.
- Sign in to the account you want to delete.
- Go to Settings → Delete account.
- Confirm permanent deletion. This action cannot be undone.
Option 2 — Email support
If you cannot access the app, email contact@support.vetvp.org with the subject line Help Us Vets — Data Deletion Request. Include the email address on your account and your username (if any). We may ask you to verify ownership before processing the request.
What is deleted
When deletion is completed, we permanently delete 100% of your personal account data we control, including:
- Authentication identity and profile (email, display name, username)
- Staff or leader status and linked provider records tied to your account
- Facility or VSO requests you submitted
- Peer support session metadata linked to your account
- Crisis or help volunteer application and talk request records tied to your account
- Push notification tokens and notification preferences
Public directory data (VA facilities, Vet Centers, VSO locations, and similar listings) is not your personal account data and is not deleted when you delete your account. We do not delete or modify U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs public facility records in the directory.
What we do not store
Help Us Vets does not store VA patient health records, disability ratings, claims data, or other protected health information from VA clinical systems. Deleting your account therefore does not affect any VA medical record held by the government.
Processing time
In-app and verified email deletion requests are completed within 45 days, and usually much sooner.
Dormant accounts
If an account has no sign-in activity for 24 months, we may email the address on file before deleting or anonymizing personal data, as described in our Privacy Policy.
Cancel a pending deletion
If deletion has not yet been completed, contact contact@support.vetvp.org from the email on file to request cancellation.
