Delete your data

Last updated 28 August 2026 · Opus Digital, Kigali, Rwanda

Your records are yours. You can have all of them permanently deleted, and you do not have to give a reason.

Ask, from the phone number that owns the records:

Message +250 799 641 428 with “delete my data”, or email hello@qonta.rw from an address you have used with us and include the phone number.

What happens then

What survives, and for how long

Encrypted backups of the database roll over on their own schedule, so a copy of a deleted account can persist in a backup for up to thirty days before it is overwritten. Those backups are never read except to restore from a failure. Failure logs may keep the fact that a message arrived — its size and time, never its text — for the same period.

Your WhatsApp conversation itself lives on your phone and on Meta's systems, not ours. Deleting your Qonta Home data does not clear the chat history on your handset; delete the chat in WhatsApp for that.

If you only want to leave

Stopping and deleting are different. You can stop paying and stop messaging and your records simply sit there, readable if you come back. Deletion is for when you want them gone.

One person, not everybody

If you share this with other people and want your own entries removed rather than the whole book, say so — tell us which. Entries carry who wrote them, so they can be removed without touching anybody else's.
