1. How to delete a stable
Deleting a stable is called archiving it, and only a stable administrator can do it:
- Open the stable's Settings → Archive stable.
- Type the stable's exact name to confirm — the same safeguard GitHub uses for deleting a repository.
- For your security we ask you to re-authenticate (a step-up sign-in) before the request is accepted.
Archiving affects every member and rider of the stable. Make sure the other members know before you archive it.
2. The 90-day grace period
Archiving does not delete anything immediately. It hides the stable from every member and rider straight away — they lose access and it disappears from their app — and starts a 90-day countdown.
During those 90 days an administrator can restore the stable, which brings it and all of its data back exactly as they were. After 90 days the deletion below becomes permanent and cannot be undone.
3. What is removed and what is kept
Removed (permanently, after the grace period)
The stable and all of its data are permanently deleted — schedules, rides, horses, members, passes, vouchers, boarding contracts and charges, and the stable's rider-level payment and balance records. We do not keep a shadow copy.
Kept
We keep only our own billing records for the stable — the subscription invoices we issued to it (including any fees on online payments). These are our own accounting records, contain no rider personal data, and we retain them for the period required by law. The stable's own books are the stable's responsibility (see below).
4. Export your records first
Your stable's financial and operational records are the stable's own books. Under Polish law, keeping them for the statutory period is the stable's responsibility as the business, not ours — we hold them only as a processor on your behalf.
So before the 90 days end, export anything you need to keep. You can request a full export of the stable's data by contacting support@horsenose.eu within the window. Once the window closes, the data is deleted and cannot be recovered.
5. Who can do this
Only an active administrator of the stable can archive or restore it. Instructors, helpers, customers and horse owners cannot — and once a stable is archived, they lose access to it entirely until (and unless) an administrator restores it.
