# Personal data management

For your convenience, Yandex Start saves certain data. This includes autofill data or URLs of the pages you visited. You can delete this data.

## Deleting data in the app {#delete}

1. <!-- source: en/_includes/reusables/phrases/li-settings.md -->
   Go to ![](../_assets/profile-icon.svg) **(profile picture)** → **App settings**.
   <!-- endsource: en/_includes/reusables/phrases/li-settings.md -->
1. Tap **Manage data** → **Clear data**.
1. Enable the options you need:

    - **Local history on device**: [Addresses](https://yandex.com.tr/support2/yandex-app-android/en/app/history.md#visited-pages) of the pages that you visited.
    - **Search history on server**: A [list](https://yandex.com.tr/support2/yandex-app-android/en/app/history.md#query-history) of your search queries.
    - **Website data**: [Cookies](https://yandex.com.tr/support2/yandex-app-android/en/privacy/cookies.md) (which may store your username, password, information about products that you added to the cart, and so on).
    - **Cache**: [Copies](https://yandex.com.tr/support2/yandex-app-android/en/privacy/cache.md) of some data from the pages that you visited (such as music, videos, images, and so on).
    - **Warnings for sites**: If a site asks [permission](https://yandex.com.tr/support2/yandex-app-android/en/app/permissions.md) to perform an action (for example, run a plugin) and you select **Always for this site**, this action is performed by default in the future. After you clear the warning list, sites ask for permissions again.
    - **Downloads**: A list of files [downloaded](https://yandex.com.tr/support2/yandex-app-android/en/app/downloads.md) through the app.
1. Tap **Clear data**.
1. Confirm the action.

After that, the data will be deleted from your current device. If [syncing](https://yandex.com.tr/support2/yandex-app-android/en/devices/sync.md) is enabled, this data will also be deleted from all your devices after a while.


## Personal data management in Yandex services {#data}

When you use Yandex services, they retain your data - for example, your browsing history. We take the protection of this data seriously: our storage facilities comply with [SOC 2](https://yandex.com/support/passport/security/soc-2.html), which is one of the most rigorous international security standards.

<!-- source: en/_includes/reusables/id-data/data-step2.md -->
You can manage your personal data on the [Manage data](https://passport.yandex.com/profile) page.

- Download

    1. Open [Manage data](https://passport.yandex.com/profile) and make sure that you're logged in with the correct Yandex ID.
    1. In the **Services** section, select the service.
    1. Under **Download data**, tap **Request archive**.

    When the archive is ready, Yandex sends you a notification. If you don't have a Yandex email address, you can learn the archive status only from the information on the page.


    {% note info %}

    The archive is password protected. To learn how to get a password and open the archive, see the Yandex ID [Help](https://yandex.com/support/id/data.html#archive).

    {% endnote %}

- Delete

    1. Open [Manage data](https://passport.yandex.com/profile) and make sure that you're logged in with the correct Yandex ID.
    1. In the **Services** section, select the service. 
    1. In the **Clear data** section, you will see a list with all types of data that Yandex stores for the selected service. Select the data you want to delete.
    1. Tap **Delete selected**.
    1. In the window that opens, tap **Delete data**. If you change your mind about deleting the data, tap **Cancel**.

    After deletion, almost all data immediately becomes unavailable. Yandex will store some types of data for some time, because this is required by law.
