Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for deleting a user profile and pairing data stored in memory of an in-vehicle computing system to maintain user privacy and data security. In one method, the method includes deleting at least one user profile and corresponding pairing data upon receiving a deletion request, wherein the in-vehicle computing system is configured to operate in a rental mode or a non-rental mode, and wherein a pre-set trigger varies according to the rental mode or the non-rental mode. In another method, the method includes deleting at least one user profile and corresponding pairing data based on one or more of a pre-determined location and a status of an ignition of the vehicle in a rental mode and deleting the at least one user profile and the corresponding pairing data based on a prompt displayed to a user in a non-rental mode.
