Data Deletion

Delete visitor data to comply with GDPR right-to-erasure requests

UserBoost provides a data deletion tool for handling GDPR right-to-erasure requests from your website's visitors.

Who Initiates Deletion?

Under GDPR, you (the website owner) are the data controller. UserBoost is the data processor. When a visitor requests their data deleted, they contact you — and you use this tool to execute the deletion.

How to Delete Visitor Data

  1. Go to your domain's Privacy tab
  2. Enter the visitor's email address
  3. Click Search — the system finds all associated data
  4. Review what will be deleted:
    • Conversations where the email appears in messages
    • Contact form submissions matching the email
  5. Click Delete all data and confirm

Deletion is immediate and irreversible.

What Gets Searched

The system searches for the email address in two places:

  1. Contact form submissions — tickets where the email field matches
  2. Conversation content — conversations where the visitor typed their email in the chat

This catches both explicit submissions and casual mentions.

What Gets Deleted

DataDeleted?
Conversations containing the emailYes
Contact form submissions (tickets)Yes
Feedback on deleted conversationsYes (part of the conversation)
Popup ratingsNo — collected anonymously
Answer correctionsNo — admin-created, not visitor data
Analysis reportsNo — aggregated themes, not individual data

Audit Trail

Every deletion is logged in the audit trail with:

  • Who performed the deletion (admin account)
  • Which email was searched
  • How many conversations and tickets were deleted
  • Timestamp

This log contains no visitor PII — it records the action, not the deleted data.

Webhook Data

Data sent via webhooks to your external systems (Slack, CRM, etc.) is your responsibility to manage. UserBoost does not store or recall webhook payloads.

⚠️

Make sure to also delete the visitor's data from any external systems that received webhook notifications.
