Your Right to Data Deletion

You have the right to request deletion of your personal data from VerifyCarrier at any time. This page explains how to request deletion and what data will be removed.

We take data privacy seriously and will process all deletion requests within 30 days as required by applicable data protection laws (GDPR, CCPA, etc.).

How to Request Data Deletion

You can request deletion of your data using any of the following methods:

Method 1: Email Request (Recommended)

Send an email to privacy@verifycarrier.com with the subject line "Data Deletion Request"

Include in your email:

  • Your email address associated with VerifyCarrier
  • Your WhatsApp phone number (if you opted in to WhatsApp notifications)
  • Confirmation that you want all your data deleted

Method 2: WhatsApp Message

If you're using WhatsApp notifications, send a message saying "DELETE MY ACCOUNT" or "DELETE MY DATA" to our WhatsApp number.

We will verify your identity and process your request.

Method 3: Contact Form

Email us at hello@verifycarrier.com with your deletion request and we'll guide you through the process.

What Data Will Be Deleted

When you request data deletion, we will permanently remove:

  • Account information: Email address, phone number, name, company name
  • WhatsApp data: WhatsApp phone number, conversation history, notification preferences
  • Usage data: Carrier lookup history, search queries
  • Communication history: Email and SMS message logs (except as required by law)
  • Preferences: Notification settings, quiet hours, timezone preferences

All data will be permanently deleted from our systems and cannot be recovered.

What Data May Be Retained

Some data may be retained for legal compliance, including:

  • Financial records: Payment and billing information (retained for 7 years for tax compliance)
  • Legal compliance: Data required by law, court order, or regulatory requirement
  • Fraud prevention: Records of fraudulent or abusive activity
  • Anonymized data: Aggregated, anonymized analytics that cannot identify you

This retention is required by law and necessary for business operations. Retained data will be kept secure and only used for the purposes specified above.

  • We may send a verification code to your email or phone to confirm your identity
  • For security, we may ask additional questions to verify ownership

This verification process protects against unauthorized deletion requests.
