How to delete your Senga account

About deleting your Senga account

Senga is a specialized freight platform primarily serving the Kenyan logistics sector by connecting businesses with reliable transport and trucking services. As a digital bridge for supply chain management, Senga handles sensitive operational data, including business addresses, shipment histories, and contact details of logistics managers. Users may seek to delete their Senga accounts if their business operations have ceased, if they are switching to alternative freight providers, or if they wish to limit the amount of logistical data stored by third-party intermediaries.

Deleting your account is a significant step if you no longer require Senga’s digital marketplace to manage your transport needs. Reasons for deletion often include:

• Reducing the digital footprint of your company’s logistics and supply chain data.
• Terminating business accounts that are no longer actively shipping goods within the Senga network.
• Concerns regarding the long-term storage of sensitive commercial dispatch records.

What happens to your data

When you request the deletion of your Senga account, the process generally involves the removal of your user profile and active associations within the freight platform. However, Senga is subject to regional record-keeping requirements for commercial transactions. While account-level data like preferences and login credentials are removed, certain historical records may be subject to different retention policies.

Data handled by Senga typically includes:

• Profile information: Business name, user name, and verified contact details.
• Logistics records: Historical dispatch routes, delivery status logs, and truck type preferences.
• Payment and invoicing records: Necessary for tax and accounting compliance related to freight services rendered.
• Communication history: Records of interactions between shippers and the Senga support team.

Privacy considerations

Operating within the logistics space, Senga collects data to optimize route efficiency and dispatch matching. Privacy concerns often arise regarding how long historical shipment patterns are kept and whether this data is aggregated for marketing or analytical purposes. Users should be aware that once an account is deleted, the ability to retrieve past invoices or shipment proofs directly from the app is lost.

• Ensure you download all necessary delivery documents and tax invoices before emailing support for deletion.
• Review your business contracts to ensure that having a Senga account was not a mandatory part of a supply agreement.
• Contact Senga support via their official email to explicitly request a 'data purge' to minimize residual data storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I delete my Senga account through the mobile app?

No, the Senga application does not currently feature a self-service 'delete account' button. You must contact their support team via email at support@senga.co to trigger the manual deletion process.

Will my business shipment history be permanently wiped after deletion?

While your user account access will be terminated, Senga may retain specific transaction records for financial auditing and legal compliance under Kenyan commercial law.

Does deleting my account stop Senga from contacting me?

Yes, once the support team processes your deletion request, your email and phone number should be removed from their marketing and operational notification lists.

How long does it take for the account to be deleted?

Since this process is handled manually by the Senga support staff, you should expect a response time consistent with their standard customer service turnaround, typically within a few business days.

What if I need my past shipment receipts later?

If you anticipate needing historical freight receipts for tax purposes, you must download these from your account dashboard before initiating the deletion request, as access to this data is revoked upon account termination.
