Delete your The Bridge account

This page explains how to request deletion of your account on The Bridge (developer: The Bridge) and what happens to your data when you do.

How to request deletion

1. Enter the email address linked to your The Bridge account in the form below, along with your reason for leaving.
2. Submit the request. You can also email us directly at [email protected] with the subject line “Delete my account”.
3. We verify that the request comes from the account owner and confirm by email once the account has been deleted. Requests are actioned within 30 days.

What gets deleted

• Your profile: name, email address, phone number, rank / job title
• Verification documents: licence number, INDOS number, seaman book, DG Form 1, company ID card
• Your content: posts, comments, messages and connections
• Device and usage data linked to your account

What we keep, and for how long

• Records we are required to keep by law (for example tax or accounting records), for the period that law requires
• A minimal record of the deletion request itself, so we can prove it was actioned
• Data already held in encrypted backups, which is purged on the normal backup rotation (within 90 days)

Everything else is permanently deleted from our active systems. Deletion is irreversible — your account cannot be restored afterwards.
