Data Deletion Instructions
1. Overview
Chatzen processes messaging data on behalf of the businesses that use it. Depending on what you want removed, you have three options: disconnect an individual messaging channel to delete its chats, delete your entire account, or send us a deletion request by email.
2. Delete Chats by Disconnecting a Channel
When you disconnect a WhatsApp number, Facebook page, or Instagram account, the conversations for that channel are removed from your dashboard immediately.
- Sign in to Chatzen.
- Go to Integrations (for Facebook / Instagram) or WhatsApp → Numbers (for a WhatsApp number).
- Click Disconnect on the channel you want to remove.
- Choose how the chats are handled:
- Keep for 30 days (default): chats are hidden and archived. If you reconnect the same channel within 30 days, they are restored. After 30 days they are permanently deleted.
- Delete permanently now: chats and their messages are erased immediately and cannot be recovered.
3. Delete Your Whole Account
Deleting your account removes all of your personal data and all conversation data across every channel. To do this, contact us at privacy@chatzen.in with the subject line "Account Deletion Request" from your registered email address. We will verify your identity and permanently delete your data within 30 days, except records we are legally required to retain (for example, financial and tax records).
4. Request Deletion by Email
If you cannot access the Platform, or you are an end customer whose conversation is stored by a business using Chatzen, you can request deletion by email.
Note: if you are an end customer, your conversation is controlled by the business you messaged. We will action your request as their data processor and, where required, forward it to that business, who is the data controller for your personal data.
5. Facebook & Instagram Data
For data received through Facebook Messenger or Instagram, disconnecting the channel (Section 2) removes the stored conversations and deletes the page access tokens Chatzen holds for that channel. Choosing Delete permanently now erases the conversation content immediately.
You can also review and remove Chatzen's access from your Facebook or Instagram account settings under Settings & Privacy → Apps and Websites. Removing the app there revokes our access; to also delete data already stored, use the disconnect flow above or email us a deletion request.
