This page explains how to request deletion of your Chrysalis Bottle Donations account and the personal information associated with it. Chrysalis Bottle Donations is operated by Chrysalis. If you have any questions, contact us at info@chrysalis.ca.
You can request deletion in either of the following ways:
| Deleted or anonymized | Kept for legal/accounting compliance |
|---|---|
| Your name, email address, phone number, and login password | Charitable donation records and tax receipt history (required by the Canada Revenue Agency) |
| Saved pickup addresses and pickup instructions | Financial and accounting records, for the period required under Canadian tax law |
| Upcoming pickups (cancelled) and recurring pickup schedules (stopped) | Anonymized donation totals that can no longer be linked back to you |
| Your ability to sign in (the account is permanently closed) | — |
Personal information that is not subject to a legal retention requirement is removed immediately when you delete your account in the app, or within 30 days of an email request. Encrypted backups that may still contain your data are purged on their normal rotation cycle, no later than 90 days after the deletion request.
Records we are legally required to keep — such as charitable donation receipts and financial records — are retained only for the period required by the Canada Revenue Agency and Canadian tax law, and are then securely deleted.
