Data Deletion Instructions

Delete Your PostAhead Account and Data

You can delete your PostAhead account and all associated data at any time. This will permanently remove:

  • Your account profile and settings
  • All connected social media accounts and tokens
  • Your posted content and scheduling history
  • Analytics data and insights
  • Payment and subscription information

  3. Scroll down to "Danger Zone"
  4. Click "Delete Account"
  5. Enter your password to confirm
  6. Click "Permanently Delete Account"

Method 2: Email Request

If you cannot access your account, email us at:

Include your registered email address and request account deletion.

Facebook/Instagram Data Deletion

When you delete your PostAhead account, we will also:

  • Revoke all access tokens for your connected social media accounts
  • Delete all cached data from your Facebook and Instagram accounts
  • Remove any profile information obtained through Facebook Login
  • Stop all scheduled posts and content management

Important Note

Deleting your PostAhead account does not delete the content you've already posted to your social media accounts. To delete that content, you'll need to remove it directly from each platform.
