Data Deletion
Last updated: July 24, 2026
You can remove your data from iHatePosting at any time, without asking us. This page explains what we store and every way to delete it.
What we store
- Your iHatePosting account (email, name, hashed password or Google sign-in link).
- For each social account you connect (Facebook Page, Instagram, Threads, LinkedIn, and the rest): its id, handle, avatar, and an encrypted access token.
- Your drafts, scheduled posts, published-post ids, and the engagement metrics we collect for them.
- Media files you upload to your library.
We never store your social-media passwords, and we hold no data about your followers.
Option 1 — Disconnect a social account
- In iHatePosting, open Accounts, find the account, and disconnect it. We delete our copy of its access and refresh tokens immediately, along with the cached profile details and the engagement statistics collected for it. Where the platform provides a revocation endpoint — which includes Google and YouTube — we revoke the grant with the platform at the same moment. Content already published to that platform stays there; deleting data held by iHatePosting does not delete anything stored by the platform itself.
Option 2 — Delete your entire iHatePosting account
- Go to Settings → Danger zone → Delete account. This permanently deletes your account and everything owned by it — connected accounts, tokens, posts, media, and analytics. Any live subscription is cancelled first. This cannot be undone.
Option 3 — Ask Meta to delete your data (automatic)
- On Facebook: Settings & privacy → Settings → Apps and websites → iHatePosting → Remove, and choose to also request data deletion. (Instagram and Threads have the equivalent under their own Apps and websites settings.)
- Meta then sends us a signed data-deletion request. We delete the matching connected-account records automatically and issue a confirmation code you can check on this page.
