Data Deletion
Last updated: 10 September 2026
This page explains how to have data held by Elephant Tech deleted, whether you connected a WhatsApp Business Account to us, messaged a business we work for, or sent us an enquiry.
If you connected a WhatsApp Business Account
The fastest route is the dashboard itself. Sign in at /dashboard/settings/whatsapp and choose Disconnect. That takes effect immediately: we tell Meta to stop sending us your messages, and we destroy the access token, which is the thing that let us act for your business at all. Your WhatsApp account, your number and your conversations stay entirely yours and are not touched.
Disconnecting leaves one record behind: your WhatsApp Business Account id and phone number id, kept so we can answer questions about a connection that once existed. To have that deleted too, email contact@elephanttechhq.com from the address on your account, with the subject Data deletion. We delete it within 30 days and confirm by reply.
If you messaged a business that uses our service
When you write to a business on WhatsApp, your message reaches them through us. We do not build a profile of you: your number and the text of your message pass through our server so a reply can be sent, and what is written to our logs is truncated and retained for a short period for troubleshooting.
The conversation itself belongs to the business you wrote to, not to us, so ask them first — they can delete it in WhatsApp directly. To have your number removed from our logs as well, email contact@elephanttechhq.com with the number you messaged from and roughly when you wrote.
If you sent us an enquiry
Email contact@elephanttechhq.com from the address you used, and we will delete the enquiry and everything stored with it. We keep nothing beyond what our legal and accounting obligations require, and we say so if any of it must be retained.
What we never hold
We never see or store your Facebook or WhatsApp password. What we hold is an account identifier and an access token you issued to us from your own Meta account, which you can revoke at any time — from our dashboard, or from Meta Business Integrations, which works even if you cannot reach us.
How long a request takes
Disconnecting is immediate. An emailed request is acted on within 30 days, and usually the same week. If we cannot identify you from the details you send, we will write back and ask rather than guess.
The rest of what we collect and why is in our Privacy Policy.
