You can always contact us at (your email) to have your VEDOC account removed, along with all data you have produced while on VEDOC, including permanent removal of photos, comments, saved boards, workplace history, and subscription and billing info, booking history, your account information, and settings.

There might be cached data available for a short time (24 hours) after the completion of the deletion.
We do keep snapshots and backups of our data in case of data loss from network or server breakdowns, and those backups might be brought back online in case of emergency, possibly restoring some user data to the system.
