LionAIData deletion
How to remove LionAI's access to an Instagram, TikTok or YouTube account and have the related data deleted.
1. Remove access
Either step alone stops LionAI from accessing the account:
- In LionAI (operator): Infrastructure → Social Accounts → select the account → Disconnect. All stored tokens of the account are deleted immediately; at Google and TikTok they are also revoked.
- At the platform (account owner):
- Instagram: Settings → Apps and websites → remove "LionAI".
- TikTok: Settings and privacy → Security → Manage app permissions → remove "LionAI".
- Google / YouTube: Google security settings page security.google.com/settings/security/permissions → remove "LionAI".
2. What is deleted and what remains
| Data | After access is removed |
|---|---|
| Access and refresh tokens | Deleted immediately when disconnected in LionAI |
| YouTube: channel identity, video IDs, status data and statistics received from the YouTube API | Deleted immediately when disconnected in LionAI; if access is revoked in the Google account, deleted as soon as LionAI detects the revocation at its next contact with Google – at the latest within 7 days of detection |
| Temporary video copies for Instagram | Deleted after Instagram processed them, at the latest after one day |
| Instagram/TikTok connection record (account ID, name, marked as revoked) | Kept until deletion is requested |
| LionAI's own publishing records (that a video was published, the title LionAI wrote) and Instagram/TikTok performance figures | Kept until deletion is requested |
| Technical logs (never contain token values) | Kept until deletion is requested, unless retention is required by law |
| Posts on the platform | Not deleted by LionAI – delete them on the platform |
3. Request deletion of the remaining data
Send an email to lionelmelee@gmail.com with the subject "LionAI data deletion" and the platform and username of the account. We delete the remaining data without undue delay and confirm the deletion by email. Data we are legally required to keep is deleted once that obligation ends; we tell you if this applies.
4. Meta / Instagram
This page is LionAI's data deletion instructions page for its Instagram connection. Removing LionAI under Instagram → Settings → Apps and websites ends LionAI's access; to have LionAI's remaining records deleted, use the email request in section 3.
