Delete Account & Data
How to remove your cloud account, delete your local vault, revoke access, and fully uninstall gulaq.
Effective: June 5, 2026
gulaq stores data in two places: (1) your local device (the SQLite vault, extension cache, and exported files) and (2) Supabase cloud (account profile, plan status, device records, and analytics metadata). Deleting one does not automatically delete the other — follow the steps below for each.
1. Delete Your Cloud Account (Supabase)
Your cloud account holds: your email/user ID, auth session, plan status, device registration records, feature flag state, and privacy-safe analytics metadata. It does not hold private vault content (chats, workspaces, exports).
Option A — Request by Email (Current Method)
Account self-deletion is not yet available within the app UI. To request deletion of your cloud account and associated metadata:
- Email backtothegoldenage@gmail.com with the subject line: “Account Deletion Request”.
- Include the email address associated with your gulaq account.
- We will delete or anonymize your Supabase profile, device records, plan records, and associated metadata.
- We will confirm deletion by reply email.
Note: Privacy-safe aggregated analytics that do not contain identifiable information may be retained in anonymized form for product analytics purposes.
Option B — Sign Out
To disconnect your account from the current device without deleting your cloud data:
- Open the gulaq side panel in Chrome and click Sign Out.
- Or use the Sign Out button in the gulaq desktop app.
Signing out clears your local session tokens but does not delete your Supabase account or local vault.
2. Delete Your Local Vault Data
Your local vault stores AI chats, workspaces, exports, and backups on your device. Deleting your cloud account does not automatically delete local vault data. You must remove it manually.
Via the Desktop App
- Open the gulaq desktop application.
- Go to Settings → Vault.
- Use the “Delete all vault data” or “Reset vault” option if available.
- This will remove the SQLite database and associated local files.
Manually
If the desktop app is not available, you can locate and delete the vault folder manually:
- Windows: The vault is typically stored in
%APPDATA%\gulaq\vault\or a custom path set in the app settings. - macOS: The vault is typically stored in
~/Library/Application Support/gulaq/vault/. - Linux: The vault is typically stored in
~/.local/share/gulaq/vault/.
Delete the vault folder and its contents to remove all locally stored gulaq data. This action is irreversible — ensure you have exported any data you want to keep before deleting.
Delete Extension Local Storage
- Go to
chrome://extensions. - Find gulaq and click Details.
- Click Inspect views: background page or the Service Worker link.
- In the DevTools that open, go to Application → Storage and clear the extension’s local storage.
- Alternatively, uninstalling the extension (see below) will also clear its local storage.
3. Revoke Google Account Access
If you signed in with Google, you can revoke gulaq’s access to your Google account at any time without contacting us:
- Go to myaccount.google.com/permissions.
- Find gulaq in the list of connected apps.
- Click Remove Access.
Revoking Google access will prevent future sign-ins using Google but does not delete your Supabase account or local vault. Contact us if you also want your Supabase account deleted.
4. Uninstall the Chrome Extension
- Open Chrome and go to
chrome://extensions. - Find gulaq and click Remove.
- Confirm the removal in the dialog.
Removing the extension deletes its local Chrome storage (settings, session cache, pending queue). It does not delete your local vault folder on the SSD or your Supabase cloud account.
5. Uninstall the Desktop App
- Windows: Go to Settings → Apps → Installed apps → gulaq → Uninstall.
- macOS: Drag gulaq from the Applications folder to the Trash, then empty the Trash.
- Linux: Run the uninstaller or remove the application package.
Uninstalling the desktop app may not automatically delete your local vault folder. After uninstalling, manually delete the vault folder at the path described in Section 2 if you want to remove all vault data.
You should also unregister the native messaging host by deleting the native host manifest file from the system directory where it was installed, or by running the uninstall script if provided.
