Data deletion
Last updated: May 1, 2026
Bota is operated by Zentia Labs LLC. We take your right to data erasure seriously. The process depends on who you are and how you reached us: there are two clearly separated paths, one for Bota operators and admins, and one for end customers who chatted with a business that uses Bota as a chatbot.
1. For Bota operators and admins
If you signed up your business on Bota (rent-a-car or any other business using Bota as a chatbot) and you are a tenant admin, you can delete all your data directly from the application.
How to request deletion
- Sign in at app.bota-chat.com.
- Go to Settings → Account → Delete account.
- Confirm the request. Deletion is scheduled with a 30-day grace period during which you can undo it.
What gets deleted
- All conversations, contacts, messages, and files stored in your tenant.
- The WhatsApp Business connection and its access token.
- Tenant configuration data: team, integrations (RMS, Stripe, etc.), preferences, and branding.
- Tenant usage logs beyond the security retention window.
Data we keep due to legal obligations
- Billing documentation: 5 years (Spanish General Tax Law art. 66).
- Anonymised security logs: 12 months.
- These records are deleted automatically when the legal retention period expires.
2. For end customers (you chatted with a business that uses Bota)
If you interacted with the chatbot of a rent-a-car or any other business using Bota — via WhatsApp or the website widget — the control of your personal data lies with that business (the data controller). Bota is only the processor. You have three ways to request deletion:
Option 1: ask the chatbot directly
Type something like "I want my data deleted" or "I request my right to be forgotten" in the conversation. Bota automatically emails the business with your request.
The business processes the deletion from their Bota dashboard and, where applicable, also from their RMS booking system. You are entitled to a confirmation of deletion; ask explicitly if you do not receive one.
Option 2: contact the business directly
Every rent-a-car or business using Bota must offer you a contact channel (website, email, phone). Ask them in writing to delete your data. They can erase your conversations from their dashboard.
Option 3: contact us
If the business does not respond or you prefer not to go through them, write directly to privacy@bota-chat.com stating the phone number you used on WhatsApp (or the identifier you interacted with) and, if you remember it, the business name. We will process your request and, where appropriate, forward it to the controlling business. Maximum response time: 30 calendar days.
3. Formal requests under GDPR / equivalent regulations
Any formal data subject right request (access, rectification, erasure, objection, portability, restriction) may be sent to privacy@bota-chat.com with subject "DSR" and sufficient identification. We process requests within the legal time frame (1 month, extendable up to 2 months for complex cases).
If our response is not satisfactory, you have the right to file a complaint with your country supervisory authority.
4. Revoke Bota access to your Facebook / Meta account
If you connected Bota from Facebook (WhatsApp Business Embedded Signup), you can revoke that permission at any time without waiting for us to process a request:
- Visit facebook.com/settings?tab=business_tools.
- Find "Bota" in the list of connected apps.
- Click "Remove".
This immediately invalidates the WhatsApp Business token associated with that grant. Data stored in Bota is then deleted following the "Delete account" flow described above.
