Delete Your Account

Where Authors Meet Readers

You can request the deletion of your eSomeni account and associated personal data at any time. This page explains how to make that request and what happens afterward.

How to request deletion

Send an email to privacy@esomeni.com from the email address registered to your eSomeni account, with the subject line "Account Deletion Request".

Please include:

The email address associated with your eSomeni account
Your full name, as registered on the account
Confirmation that you understand this action is permanent

What gets deleted

Once we verify your request, we will delete the following within 7 business days:

Your name, email address, and phone number
Your profile information and profile photo
Your reading activity, bookmarks, highlights, and reading progress
Your wishlist, favorites, and follower/following connections
Your book reviews and ratings

What we retain, and why

Some information cannot be immediately deleted due to legal, tax, and fraud-prevention obligations. Specifically:

Transaction and payment records — retained as required by Kenyan financial record-keeping and tax law, for the legally mandated retention period, after which they are permanently deleted.
Published books (for author accounts) — if you are an author, your published books will be unpublished and removed from sale. Copies already purchased by readers before deletion will remain accessible to those readers, as is standard for digital purchases.
