How to Delete Your Data
Option 1: From the Dashboard
Go to the Dashboard and click Disconnect next to any connected account. This immediately deletes the stored OAuth token and account information for that platform.
Option 2: Delete All Data
To delete all stored data at once, send a POST request to the data deletion API endpoint at /api/data-deletion with the body {"confirm": "DELETE_ALL_DATA"}.
This endpoint is also used by Meta’s data deletion callback as required by their platform policy.
Revoke Access at Platform Level
After disconnecting from Engagement Tracker, we recommend also revoking access directly on each platform:
- YouTube / Google: Google Account Permissions — Find “Engagement Tracker” and click Remove Access
- Facebook / Instagram: Facebook Business Integrations — Find “Engagement Tracker” and click Remove
- LinkedIn: LinkedIn Permitted Services — Find “Engagement Tracker” and click Remove
