Overview
You have two separate ways to remove data from Lumafly, depending on what you want to delete. Pick the one that fits your situation:
- Disconnect a social account, remove just the Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, or other social-platform data Lumafly stored when you connected that account. Your Lumafly account and the content you generated stay intact.
- Delete your entire Lumafly account, wipe everything: your business profile, generated posts, uploaded photos, social connections, billing history, the lot.
Both flows are user-initiated and take effect immediately. If you need help with either, contact us at [email protected] and we'll process the request manually within 5 business days.
This permanently removes every piece of data tied to your account.
How to request:
- Sign in to Lumafly at app.lumafly.ai.
- Click your profile avatar (top-right) → Settings.
- Scroll to the Danger zone section.
- Click Request account deletion. Confirm in the dialog.
- You're signed out from every device immediately. Your account is locked from further use and queued for permanent purge.
If you can't sign in for any reason, email [email protected] from the address tied to your account. We'll verify identity and process manually.
What gets deleted:
- Your user record (email, name, hashed password, OAuth identifiers)
- Business profile (name, address, phone, website, menu, business hours)
- All uploaded photos and videos in your Media library
- All AI-generated content (posts, reels, posters, captions)
- All scheduled and published posts within Lumafly's system
- All connected social-account tokens and identifiers
- All notifications and messages
- Billing history beyond what tax law requires us to retain (see below)
What we retain (and why):
- Stripe billing records, invoices, charges, refunds. Required by US tax law to be retained for 7 years. Stripe holds these, not Lumafly's database; we delete our local Stripe customer ID but Stripe's own records persist for compliance.
- Audit logs, high-level access logs (login timestamps, IP addresses) for up to 90 days, then purged. Required for security incident investigation.
What does NOT get deleted: any posts that were published to third-party platforms (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, etc.) during your time using Lumafly. Those live on those platforms; you'd need to delete them there directly.
Disconnecting a social account is immediate. The database row is deleted within seconds of you clicking Disconnect; tokens are revoked the same moment.
Account deletion works in two phases:
- Lockout (immediate), the moment you submit the request, every active session is terminated and your account is locked. You cannot sign in again. Lumafly cannot post on your behalf anymore.
- Permanent purge (within 30 days), an operator processes the queued request and physically wipes the data per the list above. Most requests are processed within 5 business days.
The 30-day window is a buffer in case the request was made by accident, email [email protected] within that window to cancel. After 30 days the purge is irreversible.
For any data-deletion question, edge case, or to escalate a request manually:
Email: [email protected]
Subject line: "Data deletion request, [your account email]"
We reply to every data-deletion email within 5 business days.
