Data Deletion
Last updated: May 12, 2026
You own your data. Two ways to delete everything we hold about you:
Option 1 — Self-service (recommended)
- Sign in at post-mate.com/app.
- Open Settings.
- Scroll to Danger Zone → Delete Account.
- Confirm — your account is queued for hard deletion immediately.
Self-service deletion is instant and irreversible. All your connected social-account tokens are revoked, scheduled posts are cancelled, and media files are removed from storage.
Option 2 — Email request
If you can't access your account, email privacy@post-mate.com from the address you signed up with. Include:
- Subject line:
Data deletion request - Your account email
- (Optional) the reason — helps us improve
We process every request within 7 business days and confirm by email when deletion is complete.
What gets deleted
- Your profile (email, name, password hash, preferences)
- All connected social-network tokens (revoked on the platform too)
- All drafts, scheduled posts, and publication history
- All uploaded media (Cloudflare R2 storage)
- Analytics rows associated with your posts
- Sentry error entries linked to your user ID
Timelines
- Live database: within 30 days (typically within minutes for self-service deletion).
- Encrypted backups: roll off within 90 days.
- Billing records: retained for up to 7 years to comply with tax law (we keep only the invoice number, amount, and date — no personal contact info).
Revoking social-network access without deleting your post mate account
If you only want to disconnect a specific platform, go to Connections and click Disconnect next to that account. The token is revoked immediately and removed from our database.
You can also revoke our access from the platform side:
- Instagram / Threads / Facebook: Accounts Center → Apps and websites
- Google / YouTube: myaccount.google.com/permissions
- TikTok: Settings → Security → Manage app permissions
- LinkedIn: Permitted services
- Pinterest: Settings → Apps
- Bluesky: Settings → App Passwords → revoke
