2 - How to request your account information

The Request Account Information feature allows you to submit a request for and export a report of your AfroCom account information and settings. 

Request report

• Go to AfroCom Settings > tap Account > Request Account Info.

• Tap Request Account Report. The screen will update to state "Account Info Request Sent".

Your report will typically be available three days after the date you requested it. 

Note:

• Once you request a report, you can’t undo or cancel your pending request.

• If you change your account email or delete your account, your pending request will be voided and you’ll have to request another report.

• The report is sent back and downloadable within AfroCom hence you can't uninstall AfroCom during this period

Download and export the report

When the report is available to download, you'll receive an AfroCom notification on your phone, stating “Your Account Info Report is now available”. The Request Account Info screen in AfroCom will tell you the deadline you have to download the report before it’s deleted from our servers. Because this report contains your information, you should be careful about storing, sending, or uploading it to any other services.

• Go to AfroCom Settings > tap Account > Request Account Info.

• Tap Download report. A ZIP file will be downloaded to your phone, which includes HTML and JSON files.

• Once the file is downloaded, tap Export report > EXPORT or Export Report. You'll be unable to view the downloaded report within AfroCom.

After you download the report to your phone, you'll have the option to permanently delete the downloaded copy from your phone by tapping Delete report > DELETE or Delete Report on the Request account info screen. Deleting the report won't delete any of your AfroCom account data.

3- How to delete your account

You can delete your account from within AfroCom.

Deleting your account is irreversible. We can’t reverse this even if you delete it by accident.

Note: You can delete your account from your primary device or our AfroCom web version.

To delete your account

• From either your Dashboard or AfroCom Menu.

• Tap > Settings > Account > Delete my account.

In the popup panel;

•  You may also Pause your account (feature coming soon) if preferred.

•  If not, Confirm and 

• Tap Delete account.

Deleting your account will:

• Delete your account from AfroCom and all your devices.

• Erase your message, postings, status history.

• Delete you from all of your AfroCom groups.

• Remove you as an admin and ownership in any created organizational page

If you delete your account:

• You can't regain access to your account.

• It may take up to 90 days from the beginning of the deletion process to delete your AfroCom information. Copies of your information may also remain after the 90 days in the backup storage that we use to recover in the event of a disaster, software error, or other data loss event. Your information isn't available to you on AfroCom during this time.

• It doesn't affect your information related to the groups you created or the information other users have relating to you. For example, their copy of the messages you sent them.

• We may retain certain log data in our databases even after you delete your account, but such data will be disassociated from any identifying information such that it can no longer be linked to your account. To do this we regularly wipe certain identifying information from this log data. We also replace any instance of your account ID with a replacement identifier which can't be linked back to your account once it is deleted.

• We may also keep your information for things like legal issues, terms violations, or harm prevention efforts.

• Please refer to our Privacy Policy for more information.

• Your information shared with other AfroCom Companies will also be deleted.

If contacts are still seeing you as an AfroCom user after you’ve deleted your account, ask them to restart AfroCom.

This will refresh their AfroCom contacts and you should be removed from their contacts list. This won’t delete their chats with you, though.
