Data Deletion Instructions
Effective: 29 April 2026 · Last updated: 29 April 2026
This page explains how to delete personal information that Watch-Tower has collected about you, including any data we received from Facebook or Instagram when you connected your account.
Option 1 — Self-service (recommended)
Sign in to Watch-Tower
Open watch-tower.in and log in to the account whose data you want to delete.
Disconnect connected platforms
Go to Settings → Connected Accounts and click Disconnect next to your Facebook Page, Instagram account, X account, or Threads profile. This immediately revokes the access token and stops further data collection from that platform.
Delete your projects and account
From Settings → Account, click Delete account. We will delete your account record, all your projects, all ingested platform data associated with your projects, server logs older than 90 days, and any cached analytics — within 30 days of the request.
Option 2 — Email request
If you cannot sign in or prefer email, write to creativeboyankit@gmail.com with:
- Subject line: “Data deletion request”
- The email address associated with your Watch-Tower account
- (If applicable) the Facebook user ID, Instagram user ID, or X handle whose data you want deleted
- A statement confirming you are the data subject or are authorised to act on their behalf
We will acknowledge within 5 business days and complete deletion within 30 days. If we cannot delete certain data because of a legal obligation (for example, retention required by tax law), we will explain which data is retained and for how long.
Option 3 — Revoke through Facebook (for Meta data only)
You can also revoke Watch-Tower’s access to your Facebook or Instagram data directly from Facebook:
- Sign in to Facebook
- Go to Settings & Privacy → Settings → Apps and Websites
- Find Watch-Tower in the list
- Click Remove
This stops Watch-Tower from making further calls to Meta on your behalf. The data Watch-Tower already holds about you will still be deleted only via Option 1 or Option 2.

Data Deletion Callback (for Meta App Review)
Watch-Tower implements Meta’s data-deletion callback. When a user deletes our app from their Facebook account, Facebook automatically sends us a signed deletion request, which we process within our standard 30-day window. The technical endpoint is:
The endpoint validates the signed request using our App Secret and returns a JSON response with a confirmation code and a status URL where the user can check the deletion progress, in line with Meta’s requirements.
Confirmation
Once deletion is complete you will receive a confirmation email at the address on file. If you submitted via Meta’s data-deletion callback, you can check the status at the URL we returned to Facebook.
Questions
If anything is unclear or you want help exercising your rights, contact creativeboyankit@gmail.com.
