How to delete your BasiGo account

About deleting your BasiGo account

BasiGo is an innovative Kenyan mobility company providing electric bus solutions and a pay-as-you-drive financing model for public transport operators. By integrating hardware, software, and financial services, BasiGo manages significant amounts of operational data, vehicle telemetry, and payment history for bus owners and fleet managers.

Users may choose to delete their BasiGo account for several specific reasons, such as transitioning their fleet to a different mobility provider, liquidating transport assets, or terminating a business partnership. Deleting your profile ensures that your proprietary route data, financial transaction history, and historical vehicle performance logs are no longer linked to an active digital profile within their ecosystem.

Key reasons to consider account removal include:

• Cessation of operations within the BasiGo Pay-As-You-Drive financing program.
• Dissolution of a business entity that was previously registered with the platform.
• Desire to restrict access to real-time telematics and operational fleet metrics.

What happens to your data

When you request the deletion of your BasiGo account, the service typically initiates a process to scrub your personal identification details and specific business profile information. However, BasiGo must comply with Kenyan financial and commercial regulations regarding transaction records and financing agreements. Consequently, while your user profile is deactivated, specific historical data points may be retained.

• Data typically removed: User profile login credentials, contact preferences, and active session tokens.
• Data potentially retained: Financing records, payment history logs required by tax or financial authorities, and anonymized operational telemetry used for broad system maintenance.

Privacy considerations

Operating in the intersection of Fintech and IoT, BasiGo collects sensitive data regarding vehicle location and revenue generation. Privacy-conscious operators should be aware of how this data is managed. To protect your privacy while using or departing the service, keep the following in mind:

• Verify that all pending invoices are settled before requesting deletion, as these records may be archived rather than purged for audit purposes.
• Request a confirmation email from BasiGo support once your data removal request has been processed.
• Limit the amount of personal identifiable information (PII) shared in business communication channels if you intend to maintain a low profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I initiate the deletion of my BasiGo account?

You must send an email directly to the official BasiGo support team requesting that your account and associated business profile be permanently deleted from their servers.

Can I recover my BasiGo account after deletion?

Generally, deletion is treated as a permanent action. Once BasiGo processes your request and purges your profile, historical data associated with that identity cannot be restored.

Does BasiGo keep my financing history after I delete my account?

Due to legal and financial reporting obligations in Kenya, BasiGo may be required to maintain records of your financing agreements and payments even after you delete your digital portal access.

Is it possible to delete only specific business assets from BasiGo?

Yes, you can often contact BasiGo support to request the removal of specific vehicle assets from your dashboard without necessarily deleting the entire corporate account.

How long does BasiGo take to process a deletion request?

Processing times vary, but you should expect to hear back from the support team within a standard business week as they verify your identity and finalize the removal from their database.

Will deleting my account stop BasiGo from tracking my vehicles?

Once your account is deactivated and the associated vehicle monitoring services are formally terminated, the active tracking and telemetry streaming should cease for those specific assets.
