User Data Deletion

This page explains how to delete data that SponsoredBy.io (operated by Get Sponsored LLC) has collected about you, including data obtained through Facebook Login, Instagram, or any other connected social account.

1. What we store from connected social accounts

When you verify a social handle on your SponsoredBy profile (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, GitHub, X, or a custom website), we store:

• the verified handle or username you display on your public profile;
• the timestamp of verification; and
• (optionally) the profile picture URL from that platform, if you chose to sync your avatar.

We do not store your friend lists, post content, follower counts, private messages, login tokens, refresh tokens, or any other content from the connected platform.

2. Removing a single connected account

You can remove any individual connected social account at any time:

1. Sign in at sponsoredby.io.
2. Go to Edit profile.
3. In the “Verified social handles” card, clear the handle field for the platform you want to disconnect.
4. Click Save handles.

The verified handle, verification timestamp, and any synced profile picture are removed immediately from our database.

3. Revoking app access from the social platform side

You can also revoke SponsoredBy’s access from inside the platform itself:

• Facebook / Instagram: facebook.com/settings → Apps and Websites → find “SponsoredBy” → Remove.
• Google / YouTube: myaccount.google.com/permissions → find “SponsoredBy” → Remove access.
• LinkedIn: linkedin.com/psettings/permitted-services → find “SponsoredBy” → Remove.
• GitHub: github.com/settings/applications → find “SponsoredBy” → Revoke.

Because we don’t store long-lived tokens, revoking access on the platform side has no follow-up effect on your SponsoredBy profile — the handle stays displayed until you remove it from your profile per step 2 above.

4. Deleting your entire SponsoredBy account

You can delete your account yourself, immediately: sign in, open Security, expand the Danger zone, and confirm. You can also email support@sponsoredby.io from your account address with the subject “Delete my account” and we will do it for you within 30 days.

What deletion does depends on whether money ever moved through your account:

• If you never sent or received a payment: your account is deleted in full — profile, verified-social entries, brand profiles, uploaded avatar, and session data are all removed. Nothing is retained.
• If you sent or received payments: your public profile, display name, avatar, bio, verified handles, and sessions are removed immediately, your name on any backing you gave is replaced with “Deleted user”, and your email and username are freed so you can sign up again later. We retain the underlying transaction records — including an internal record of who made each payment — because we may be required to prove a payment for tax, accounting, fraud, or legal reasons. These retained records are never displayed publicly and are not used for any other purpose.

In both cases every active session is signed out, and any active subscriptions you hold or receive are canceled so no further charges occur. Note that Stripe, as the payment processor, keeps its own records of past payments under its own policies — we cannot delete those.

For full retention details, see our Privacy Policy.

5. Confirmation

You will receive an email confirmation when the deletion is complete. If you do not receive a response within 7 business days, please re-send your request to support@sponsoredby.io.
