Sendant
Your data, on your device.

Deleting your Sendant data

Effective 13 September 2026 · Applies to the Sendant apps for Android (io.sendant) and iPhone, and to the Sendant web client. Provided by VectraSEO LLC; built by Yoni Ryabinski (yoniryabinski.com).

Sendant is local-first. Your identity keys, your message history, and your attachments are created and stored on your own device — not in an account on our servers. There is no account to close and no profile for us to hold, so deleting your data is something you do directly on your device, at any time.

In short: Sendant has no account, no phone number, and no server-side profile. To delete everything, delete it on your device (or uninstall the app). Anything still in transit to a contact is encrypted and auto-expires on its own.

How to request that your data is deleted

Because your data lives on your device, you delete it yourself — no request form or waiting period required. Find your platform below.

On iPhone

iOS has no "clear storage" control, so on iPhone deleting the app is how you delete its data. Deleting the app removes its local database, its attachments, and its cryptographic identity from the iOS Keychain.

Delete the app and its data

  1. Press and hold the Sendant icon on your Home Screen or in the App Library.
  2. Tap Remove App, then Delete App, then Delete to confirm.
  3. Or from Settings: Settings → General → iPhone Storage → Sendant → Delete App.

Important: choose Delete App, not Offload App. Offloading deliberately keeps your documents and data so the app can be reinstalled in place, which is the opposite of what you want here.

Start over without deleting the app

  1. Open Sendant and go to Settings → Privacy & Security.
  2. Tap Reset safety keys and confirm. This creates a brand-new identity and wipes this device's conversations and message history; your contacts will have to add you again before they can message you.
  3. If you would rather not use the in-app control, deleting and reinstalling the app achieves the same thing.

The same control exists on Android, in the same place.

On Android

Clear your Sendant data (keep the app installed)

  1. Open your device Settings → Apps and select Sendant.
  2. Tap Storage, then Clear storage (also labeled "Clear data" on some devices).
  3. This erases your local Sendant database — your message history and attachments — and your on-device cryptographic identity. The app stays installed but resets to a fresh state.

Remove everything (uninstall)

  1. Press and hold the Sendant icon on your home screen (or open Settings → Apps → Sendant).
  2. Choose Uninstall.
  3. Uninstalling removes the app together with its local databases and cryptographic keys from your device.

In the browser

The web client keeps your keys and history in your browser's local storage for app.sendant.io. To remove them:

  1. In app.sendant.io, open Settings → Data and choose Clear message history to delete every message held in that browser.
  2. If the browser is linked to your phone, open Settings → This browser and choose Forget this link, which removes that browser's identity and its messages. Then open Sendant on your phone, go to Settings → Linked devices, and revoke it there as well, so your contacts stop sending to it. A linked browser also unlinks itself after 30 days without connecting.
  3. To remove everything the site has stored, clear site data for app.sendant.io in your browser: in Chrome or Edge, Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies → See all site data and permissions; in Safari, Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data; in Firefox, Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Manage Data.

What gets deleted, and what is kept

DataWhat happensRetention
Cryptographic identity & keys Deleted from the platform secure store — the iOS Keychain on iPhone, the Android Keystore on Android, browser storage in the web client — when you delete the app or clear your data. Removed immediately on your device. Not held by us.
Message history & attachments Deleted from your device's local storage when you delete the app or clear your data. Removed immediately on your device. Not stored by us in readable form.
Profile name you optionally entered A local label only; removed with your local data. Removed immediately on your device. Not held by us.
Linked browsers Revoking a linked browser from your phone tells your contacts to stop sending to it; clearing that browser's site data removes its local copy. Certificates expire on their own within 30 days of last connecting. Contacts whose app has not yet received the revocation may reach it until then.
Undelivered encrypted envelopes (in transit) Opaque, end-to-end encrypted ciphertext briefly held by our store-and-forward mailbox so an offline contact can receive it. We cannot read it. Auto-expires and is deleted (currently up to 30 days), or sooner once delivered.
Push token Deleted along with the app. Until then it is only a wake address, never message content. Released when the token rotates, notifications are disabled, or the app is removed.
Connection metadata (e.g. IP) Standard network data inherent to any internet service; never used to build a profile of you. Transient, operational only.

Need help, or want something else deleted?

Sendant holds no readable account data about you, so there is nothing for us to delete on a server on your behalf. If you have a question about deletion, want to exercise a data-protection right, or believe we hold data you want removed, email privacy@sendant.io and a person will help. You can also write to VectraSEO, 243 E 5th Ave #A135, Anchorage, AK 99501, USA, or call (908) 628-9057.
