Data Deletion Instructions

1. What instanbul stores about you

For each account connected through Meta's official OAuth flow, instanbul keeps a single JSON file on the operator's local computer containing:

• Your Instagram Business Account ID and username
• The connected Facebook Page ID and Page name
• A Page Access Token used to publish on your behalf
• Public profile metadata returned by the Graph API (display name, profile picture URL, follower count, media count, biography)

No data is ever transmitted to instanbul-controlled servers. There is no cloud account, no remote database, and no analytics pipeline.

2. How to delete your data

Option A — Revoke access in Facebook (recommended)

This invalidates the access token Meta issued to instanbul, so even a copy of the token elsewhere stops working immediately.

1. Open facebook.com/settings → Business Integrations.
2. Find instanbul in the list of connected apps.
3. Click View and edit → Remove.
4. Confirm the removal. Meta will invalidate the token within a few minutes.

Option B — Disconnect from inside instanbul

This deletes the locally-stored JSON file holding your account information.

1. Open the instanbul application.
2. Find the account in the connected accounts list.
3. Click Disconnect next to the account.
4. The corresponding accounts/<username>.graph.json file is deleted from disk.

Option C — Manual file removal

If you have direct file-system access to the operator's machine, you can delete:

• accounts/<username>.graph.json — the per-account credentials file
• publish/account_state.json — local rate-limit and cooldown counters
• publish/publish.log — local audit log of past publish attempts

3. Confirming your data is gone

After completing Option A and B above:

• Your account no longer appears in the instanbul accounts list.
• instanbul no longer appears in your Facebook Business Integrations page.
• Any future API call instanbul might attempt with the revoked token will fail with an authentication error.

4. Request manual deletion

If you cannot access the application yourself but believe instanbul holds data about you (for example, if you previously authorized an operator who since lost contact), you may request manual deletion by emailing the address below. We will confirm receipt and complete the deletion request within 30 days, in line with applicable data protection law.

Email: contact@instanbul.app

Please include in your email:

• The Instagram username or Facebook Page name associated with the request
• Proof of ownership (e.g., a verification post, a message from the verified account, or a screenshot from inside the account's settings)
• Whether you want a confirmation reply once deletion is complete
