HERBST
You can request permanent deletion of your HERBST account and the personal data associated with your account that HERBST controls.
Select Request Account Deletion below to submit a deletion request from inside HERBST.
Your account will remain available while the request is being verified and processed.
You can also request account deletion without using the HERBST app through the HERBST external account-deletion page or by emailing herbstappdeletion@gmail.com.
HERBST may ask you to verify that you are the account owner. Never send your password.
Once a verified deletion request has been completed, your HERBST account and the personal data associated with that account that HERBST controls will be deleted.
Account deletion is permanent. You will no longer be able to sign in to the deleted account.
Some limited information may be retained where necessary for security, fraud or abuse prevention, dispute handling, or legal and regulatory obligations.
HERBST

HERBST
HERBST includes tools that allow you to control who can contact you and to report behaviour or content that may break the HERBST Community Standards.
If you do not want a contact to message you, open your conversation with that person, tap the three-dot menu and choose Block user.
While your block is active, neither you nor the blocked user can send new messages to the other through that conversation.
You can remove your block later by choosing Unblock user.
If you believe another user is harassing you, sending spam, sharing inappropriate content, impersonating someone, or otherwise misusing HERBST, you can submit a report.
Open the conversation, tap the three-dot menu, choose Report user, select the reason that best describes the problem, and confirm the report.
Reports are sent to HERBST for review. Reporting someone does not automatically block them, so use the Block user option separately if you also want to stop new messages.
Do not share passwords, login credentials, financial information, or other highly sensitive information through HERBST messages or support requests.
If you believe there is an immediate threat to someone's safety, contact the appropriate local emergency service or authority. HERBST is not an emergency service.
For a safety concern that needs HERBST Support, return to Help & Safety, open Help & Support and send a support request using the Safety Concern category.
HERBST
HERBST is a private messaging service. Everyone using HERBST is expected to use the service responsibly and respect other users.
By using HERBST, you agree to follow these Community Standards and Terms of Use.
Do not use HERBST to harass, bully, threaten, intimidate, stalk, or deliberately target another person with abusive behaviour.
Do not encourage violence or make credible threats of harm against another person.
Do not use HERBST to attack, threaten, or harass people based on protected characteristics such as race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, disability, sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
HERBST must not be used to share, request, promote, or facilitate sexual exploitation, sexual abuse, or sexual content involving minors.
Attempts to exploit, groom, endanger, or sexually solicit a minor are prohibited.
Do not use HERBST to plan, promote, facilitate, or coordinate illegal activity or serious harm.
HERBST must not be used to distribute content or instructions intended to facilitate serious violence, exploitation, or other unlawful harm.
Do not send unwanted repetitive messages, deceptive promotions, fraudulent requests, phishing attempts, or messages intended to steal money, passwords, account information, or other sensitive information.
Do not pretend to be another person or deliberately misrepresent your identity in order to deceive, defraud, harass, or harm others.
You are responsible for activity performed through your HERBST account. Keep your login credentials private and do not knowingly give another person access to your account.
Do not attempt to bypass HERBST access controls, interfere with the service, gain unauthorised access to another account, or misuse HERBST systems.
Users can report behaviour or content that may violate these standards. Reports may be reviewed by HERBST.
Where appropriate, HERBST may take action to protect users or the service, including restricting, suspending, or removing access to HERBST.
You are responsible for the messages and other content you send through HERBST and for ensuring that you have the right to send that content.
Do not use HERBST in a way that violates another person's rights or applicable law.
HERBST may change, update, suspend, or discontinue features as the service develops. Temporary interruptions may also occur for maintenance, technical problems, security, or other operational reasons.
These Community Standards and Terms of Use may be updated as HERBST develops or as legal, safety, or platform requirements change.
If an important change requires renewed agreement, HERBST may ask users to accept the updated terms before continuing to use relevant features.
If you need help with these rules or want to report a concern, use the reporting tools in a conversation or contact HERBST Support through Help & Support.
HERBST
This Privacy Policy explains the information HERBST uses to provide accounts, contacts, private conversations, safety tools, and support.
HERBST is designed so that access to messaging requires an approved HERBST account.
When a HERBST account is created or requested, account information may include your name, email address, HERBST ID, account status, and information needed for authentication and account administration.
HERBST uses this information to identify your account, authenticate access, administer accounts, and provide the service.
HERBST stores information needed to provide your profile, contact requests, contact list, and private conversations.
Approved users can search for another approved user using that person's HERBST ID. HERBST does not automatically provide every user with a global contact list.
HERBST stores message information needed to deliver and display conversations between the participating accounts.
Messages are designed to stop displaying in HERBST after approximately 48 hours. This disappearing behaviour should not be understood as a guarantee that every underlying service record is immediately or permanently erased at that exact time.
Do not use disappearing messages as your only method of protecting highly sensitive information.
Clear Chat clears the conversation from your own HERBST view from that point backwards. It does not clear the other participant's copy of the conversation and should not be treated as a request to permanently erase all underlying service records.
HERBST stores settings needed to remember contacts you have blocked and conversations you have muted. These settings are used to apply your messaging and notification preferences.
If you report another user, HERBST stores information about the report, including the accounts involved, the selected reason, the related conversation, and the time of the report.
Reports are used for safety, moderation, abuse prevention, and enforcement of HERBST rules.
When you contact HERBST Support through the app, HERBST stores your account identifier, the support category, your message, and the time the request was submitted so that the request can be reviewed.
Do not include passwords or unnecessary sensitive information in a support request.
HERBST relies on third-party infrastructure and hosting services to operate the app, authenticate accounts, store service data, and make HERBST available over the internet.
Service providers may process information as needed to provide those technical services.
HERBST uses authentication and access controls intended to limit access to account and messaging data. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.
Keep your password private and report suspected unauthorised account access to HERBST Support.
HERBST keeps different types of information for different periods depending on what is needed to operate the service, administer accounts, provide support, protect users, prevent abuse, and maintain security.
HERBST messages are designed to stop displaying approximately 48 hours after they are sent. A message disappearing from the HERBST interface does not necessarily mean that every associated underlying service record has been permanently deleted at that exact time.
Reports, support requests, security records, and other limited information may be retained for longer where reasonably necessary for safety, abuse prevention, dispute handling, security, or legal and regulatory obligations.
You can request permanent deletion of your HERBST account from inside the app through My HERBST → Delete Account.
If you no longer have access to HERBST or have uninstalled the app, you can request deletion through the HERBST external account-deletion page or by contacting herbstappdeletion@gmail.com.
HERBST may ask you to verify that you are the account owner before completing a deletion request. Never send your password.
When a verified account-deletion request has been completed, the HERBST account and personal data associated with that account that HERBST controls will be deleted.
Some limited information may be retained where necessary for security, fraud or abuse prevention, dispute handling, or legal and regulatory obligations.
This Privacy Policy may be updated as HERBST features, data practices, or applicable requirements change.
If you have a question about your HERBST account or data, contact HERBST Support through Help & Support.
HERBST
Your HERBST account gives you access to your profile, private contact list, contact requests, conversations, and account settings.
Access to HERBST messaging is limited to approved accounts.
Your HERBST ID is used by other approved users to find you and send you a contact request.
HERBST does not automatically add every approved user to your contacts. Your contact list is maintained separately for your account.
HERBST messages are designed to stop displaying approximately 48 hours after they are sent.
The 48-hour disappearing-message feature controls what is shown in the HERBST conversation. It does not guarantee that every underlying service record is permanently erased at exactly the same time.
Clear Chat removes the earlier conversation from your own HERBST view.
Clearing your chat does not clear the other participant's view and does not automatically permanently erase all underlying records.
New messages sent after you clear the conversation can appear normally.
Delete Contact removes that person from your HERBST contact list and removes you from theirs.
Your shared conversation and its messages are permanently deleted for both users. This cannot be undone.
Deleting a contact does not block either HERBST account. You can reconnect later by sending and accepting a new contact request.
Muting a conversation changes your HERBST notification preference for that contact. It does not block the contact or prevent new messages from being sent.
When you block a user, HERBST records that block for your account. While your block remains active, new messages between you and that user are prevented.
Blocking does not automatically erase existing conversation history or submit a report.
Reports and support requests may be retained so that HERBST can review safety concerns, investigate problems, provide support, prevent abuse, and administer the service.
You can request permanent deletion of your HERBST account from inside the app. Open My HERBST, choose Delete Account, and then select Request Account Deletion.
If you no longer have access to HERBST or have uninstalled the app, you can also request account deletion using the HERBST external account-deletion page.
External deletion requests can be sent to herbstappdeletion@gmail.com.
HERBST may ask you to verify that you are the account owner before completing a deletion request. Never send your password.
Account deletion is permanent. When your deletion request has been verified and completed, your HERBST account and the personal data associated with that account that HERBST controls will be deleted.
You will no longer be able to sign in to or use the deleted HERBST account. If you want to use HERBST again in the future, a new account would need to be requested and approved.
Some limited information may be retained where necessary for security, fraud or abuse prevention, dispute handling, or legal and regulatory obligations.
Open Help & Support and use Contact HERBST Support if you have a question about your account or data.
