Data deletion status

When a data deletion request is created you receive a confirmation code. This page shows which stage the deletion linked to that code has reached.

Status of your request

Check a code manually

If you opened this link by hand, or want to check a different request, enter the confirmation code here.

The code you received when the deletion request was created; it contains letters, digits, hyphens and underscores.

How this page works

  • Requests coming through Meta (Instagram, Threads, Facebook): when you remove our app's permission in your Instagram or Facebook account settings, Meta sends us a data deletion notification. On receiving it we start the deletion, generate a confirmation code, and return the address of this page.
  • Requests coming through us: the same confirmation code is generated when you start a deletion from the account deletion page or from inside the app.

This page shows only the status of the deletion — no account details, email address or other personal data. Knowing a confirmation code grants no access to the deleted data.

What each status means
Status Meaning
Queued The request has been recorded and the deletion is waiting in the queue.
Deleting Data is being deleted; revoking platform connections can take a little time.
Completed The data linked to this code has been deleted. Records subject to a statutory retention obligation are an exception.
Not found The code may be wrong, or the record's 12-month retention period may have expired.

For the full scope of deletion see the list on the account deletion page; for retention periods see section 10 of the Privacy Policy.

If you run into trouble, write to destek@postinall.app with your confirmation code.
