Data deletion

1. What we keep about a connected account

• Its name, username and profile picture address, and the IDs Meta gives it (and, for Instagram, the Facebook Page it is linked to).
• The access keys Meta gives us to publish for you, stored encrypted, with when they run out and the permissions you granted.
• The publications you scheduled: which video, the title and text, the time, and what happened (the post's link, or Meta's reason for refusing it).

We use this only to publish what you scheduled and to show you how it went. We don't read your feed, messages or followers.

2. Delete it yourself in WowReveal

• Settings → Social accounts → Disconnect: the account's access keys are deleted at once and what was scheduled for it is cancelled.
• Deleting your WowReveal account (Settings → Danger zone) deletes all of it, connections and publication history included.

3. Remove our access in Facebook, Instagram or Threads

• Facebook: Settings & privacy → Settings → Apps and websites (or Business integrations), then remove WowReveal.
• Instagram: Settings → Website permissions → Apps and websites, then remove WowReveal.
• Threads: Settings → Account → Website permissions, then remove WowReveal.

When you remove WowReveal there, Meta tells us and we delete the access keys. You can also send a data deletion request from the same Facebook page: we then delete everything we keep about that Facebook or Threads account and Meta shows you a confirmation code.

4. YouTube channels

• What we keep: the channel's name, handle, picture address and ID, the access keys Google gives us to upload for you (stored encrypted), the scopes you granted, and the publications you scheduled with their result (the link to the Short and the video's ID, or YouTube's reason for refusing).
• Settings → Social accounts → Disconnect, at once: deletes the keys and asks Google to revoke them; replaces the channel's name, handle and picture with the label “YouTube channel” (in the list of its past uploads too); replaces the channel's ID with a one-way fingerprint, a code that cannot be turned back into the ID; and deletes the links to your published Shorts and the video IDs behind them. The list of your past uploads stays, without those links, with the videos it belongs to. Deleting your WowReveal account does the same, and deletes the rest.
• You can also remove WowReveal in your Google Account: https://myaccount.google.com/permissions (Third-party apps & services). Google sends us no notice: we find out the next time we use the keys (when something is published to the channel, or when its name is read again), and the channel then shows as needing to be connected again until you disconnect it here. The keys stop working when you remove WowReveal.
• While a channel is connected, its name, handle and picture are read from Google again before they are 30 days old. If that is not possible, then 30 days after the last time we read them everything Google told us about the channel is let go of in the same way as when you disconnect it — so within 30 days of your removing WowReveal in your Google Account.
• Or ask us: write to support@wowreveal.com from the address of your WowReveal account, and we disconnect your YouTube channels and delete their data in the same way, as soon as we can and within 7 days of your request.

We use Google's YouTube API Services for this. Their use is governed by the YouTube Terms of Service (https://www.youtube.com/t/terms) and Google's Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy). We upload only what you placed yourself and add nothing to your title or description.

5. Check a deletion request

After a data deletion request Meta shows you a confirmation code and a link to its status on our site. Deletion happens as soon as the request reaches us, so the status says when it was done.

6. What deletion does not touch

Posts already published to Facebook, Instagram, Threads or YouTube are on those platforms: delete them there if you want them gone. The videos themselves stay in your WowReveal library until they expire or you delete them.

7. Ask us

You can also write to support@wowreveal.com from the address of your WowReveal account and ask us to delete this data; we'll confirm when it's done.
