What We Will Delete

Upon a valid request, we will delete or anonymise:

What We May Retain

In some cases, we are required by law or legitimate interest to retain certain information:

Financial transaction records If you paid for a service, we retain payment records for 5 years under Pakistani tax and financial regulations.
Visa application submissions Documents submitted to embassies on your behalf become part of the embassy's own records and cannot be recalled by us.
Legal dispute records If there is an ongoing dispute, complaint, or legal proceeding, we retain relevant records until resolution.
Anonymised analytics Aggregated, non-identifiable data (e.g. "X users chose Canada this month") is retained for service improvement and carries no personal identifiers.

Where we must retain data, we will tell you clearly what is retained, why, and for how long.
