Data Correction & Removal
Last updated: 12 November 2026
Request correction or removal of your information from the Gujarat Bhatia Samaj (GBS) directory, or request deletion of feedback/support information you supplied. This service is administered by Gujarat Bhatia Samaj; the mobile app is developed and published by Advance Web Software Private Limited.
Email gujaratbhatiasamaj@gmail.com with the subject GBS data correction or removal.
Request correction or removalThis opens an email draft; you must send it to submit your request. You can also copy the email address into your preferred email service.
What to include
- Whether you want a correction, removal, or deletion of feedback/support correspondence.
- The name and city shown in the directory and, if available, the PDF page or entry reference. For feedback, include the approximate submission date.
- The specific information to remove or the corrected information.
- Whether the request concerns you, a child for whom you are a parent/guardian, or someone you are authorized to represent.
Do not send the community password, Aadhaar/PAN/passport copies, or unrelated personal information. We may ask for proportionate additional details to confirm your authority and identify the correct record before making a change.
What happens next
We review the request, contact you if clarification is needed, and coordinate updates to the applicable source directory/PDF, Card View, photos or feedback/support records under our control. We will reply with the outcome or explain any restriction or additional step. A request to remove your record does not authorize deletion of unrelated family members’ information.
App accounts and device data
The current GBS app does not offer individual account creation. Its shared community-password login creates an expiring device session, not a personal account. There is therefore no individual app account to delete in this version. You can still request removal of your directory information and submitted feedback using the process above.
To remove the remembered session, use Sign out. To clear downloaded app data and settings on Android, open your phone’s Settings → Apps → Gujarat Bhatia Samaj → Storage → Clear storage (wording varies by phone). Files saved separately in Downloads must be removed separately. Bundled content is part of the installed app and may require an updated version to change.
What removal can and cannot cover
Removal applies to the relevant records we control. It does not remotely erase existing printed directories, older installed app versions, independently downloaded files or copies held by other people. Public search-engine or third-party caches may take time to update and may require a separate request to that provider.
Some information may need to be retained for legal obligations, security, fraud prevention or resolving disputes. If this affects your request, we will explain what must be retained, why, and the applicable retention period. See our Privacy Policy for more about data handling.
