Delete your CETEChat account
Last updated: 25 October 2026
You can delete your account yourself, at any time. It takes a minute and cannot be undone.
Steps
- Open app.cetechat.com/delete-account and sign in (or, in the app, tap your photo, then Profile and security, then Security).
- Tap Delete my account.
- Type DELETE and your password to confirm.
If you cannot sign in, email privacy@cetechat.com from the address on your account and we will delete it for you within 30 days.
What is deleted
- Straight away: your profile, username, phone number, encryption keys, devices, sign-ins and notification addresses, every message and file you sent, your reactions, your Private Vault, and your chat backup kept on our server.
- Threads: where other people replied to one of your messages, your message becomes "This message was deleted." with no content, so their replies still make sense.
- Your company: if you are the only person in a workspace, it is deleted with everything in it and any subscription is cancelled. If you are the only owner of a workspace that has other people, make someone else an owner first.
What is kept
- Messages other people sent stay with them.
- Each workspace's audit log keeps a note that your account was deleted, with your name only.
- To stop the same company claiming repeated free trials, we keep the anonymous fingerprint Stripe gives the card used for a trial (never the card number).
- Invoices and other business records a company is required to keep stay with that company.
