Your Heroku account will be deleted within 30 days of your request.
Heroku states a data retention period of 30 days after account deletion. Back-ups and statutory records can fall outside that figure, so request written confirmation from support if you need certainty.
The stated recovery window is 90 days. Once that passes the deletion is permanent and the account cannot be restored.
Deleting your account means: Loss of all data and applications; Cancellation of paid subscriptions. Export or download anything you want to keep before you begin — it is normally not recoverable afterwards.
Heroku is recorded as GDPR compliant and recorded as CCPA compliant. If you are in the EU or California you can also file a formal erasure request under GDPR Article 17 or the CCPA — that route creates a record you can follow up on, separately from the in-product delete flow.
Common alternatives include Google Cloud Platform, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Azure App Service. If you are switching because of how Heroku handles your data, check the replacement's retention and deletion policy before you migrate.
Heroku is headquartered in San Francisco, California, which is the jurisdiction whose data-protection rules govern your account.
