Data Deletion Instructions
Effective: September 23, 2026
You can ask Shopinzip Inc (GrowingWhale) to delete your data at any time. This page explains how. It applies to data received through Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp (Meta), Google, and any other connected app.
Option 1: Delete from inside GrowingWhale (fastest)
- Log in at growingwhale.com.
- Go to Settings → Connected Apps and click Disconnect on any app (Meta, Google, etc.). This revokes our access and queues that app's data for deletion.
- To delete everything, go to Settings → Account → Delete account and confirm.
Option 2: Remove the app from Facebook
- Open Facebook and go to Settings & Privacy → Settings → Apps and Websites.
- Find GrowingWhale and click Remove.
- Meta notifies us, and we delete the associated data automatically. You'll receive a confirmation code and a status link you can use to check progress.
Option 3: Remove Google access
- Go to myaccount.google.com/permissions.
- Select GrowingWhale and click Remove access.
Option 4: Email us
Send an email to hello@growingwhale.com with the subject "Data Deletion Request". Include the email address on your account and, if relevant, your Facebook Page or Google account. We will verify your identity and confirm.
If you are a customer of a business that uses GrowingWhale, please contact that business first. They control your data. We will help them fulfill your request.
