GDPR Forget

These API’s allow you to use the features that we built to allow us to comply with the GDPR regulations.

Forget

We offer an API that can be used to forget your data on our platform. You can also track the status of your requests.

Forget Request

When you request for your data to be forgotten it will be instantly added to your Blacklist. This means no further SMS will be sent to the destination numbers provided.

Within’ 24 hours off the request been submitted our system will go through your Contact Lists, Sent SMS, Received SMS, Blacklist and remove this data. Any numbers or an SMS body printed will be masked so it does not show the full number or message.

Once the process has completed the destination numbers will no longer be stored on our system.

Important Information If a message has been scheduled to be sent before you made this request, the messages will still be sent out.
