Unlinking & Data Deletion

Effective 9 September 2026Updated 9 September 2026
This page explains exactly how to disconnect a social account from CampaignFlow, and how to delete your CampaignFlow account and everything held in it — see the Privacy Policy for what we hold and why.

1. Overview

There are three separate things you might want, and they are not the same. Disconnecting a social account stops CampaignFlow publishing to that platform and destroys the stored credential, but leaves your campaigns and copy in place. Deactivating your CampaignFlow account stops everything and signs you out, but keeps your data so you can come back. Deleting your CampaignFlow account removes the account and its contents permanently.

All three are self-serve — you do not need to email anyone, and there is no queue to wait in. The sections below give the exact click path for each.

2. What Happens to Your Data

2.1 Disconnecting a social account

Disconnecting is a two-stage control, because a connection is both a credential and a piece of history.

The first click is Disconnect. CampaignFlow calls the platform to revoke the access grant, then overwrites the stored token with an empty encrypted value and marks the connection revoked. At that point nothing can be published to or read from that account. The connection row itself survives, because the delivery history for posts that already published points at it.

The second click on that same row is now labelled Remove, and it deletes the row outright — unless real publish history still references it, in which case the row stays visible as a disconnected account. Both actions are confirmed in a dialog first.

2.2 Deactivating your CampaignFlow account

Deactivating signs you out everywhere and stops all scheduled publishing, but keeps your data exactly as it is. Your account can be reactivated by simply logging back in. This is the reversible option — if you are not certain you want your work gone, take this one.

2.3 Deleting your CampaignFlow account

Deleting is immediate and irreversible. Once you confirm with your password, the following are removed:

  • Your user record and every session.
  • Your brand brief — audiences, pillars, CTA ladder, don't-say list, and your uploaded logo.
  • Every campaign, post, slide, revision and piece of feedback.
  • Every uploaded image and video, and every rendered slide and transcoded rendition — deleted from Blob storage as well as from the database.
  • All connected-account credentials, revoked at the platform first and then destroyed.
  • The full publishing and delivery history.
  • Notification channel configurations.
  • Approval links.

This cannot be undone. There is no recovery window and no backup we can restore you from. Export anything worth keeping before you start.

2.4 Deleting a single brand

If you have more than one brand, you can delete just one from Settings → Danger zone, without touching your account or your other brands. You confirm by typing the brand's name and your password. It removes everything in section 2.3 that belongs to that brand — its brief, campaigns, posts, media (from storage as well as the database), connected-account credentials (revoked at the platform first), publishing history and approval links — and removes anyone else's access to it. Posts already published stay live on the platform. Your only remaining brand cannot be deleted this way; delete your account instead.

This cannot be undone. There is no recovery window.

3. How to Disconnect a Social Account

  1. Open CampaignFlow and log in.
  2. Go to Accounts in the sidebar.
  3. Find the account you want to unlink under its platform.
  4. Click Disconnect on that row.
  5. Confirm in the dialog. The permission is revoked at the platform and the stored credential is destroyed.
  6. To clear the row from the list entirely, click Remove on the same row and confirm again.

If the row remains after Remove, it is because posts that already published through it are still on record. The credential is gone either way.

3.1 Revoking on the platform as well

Disconnecting inside CampaignFlow already revokes the grant. Revoking on the platform directly is a belt-and-braces step you can also take, and it is the right route if you no longer have access to the CampaignFlow account.

3.2 Instagram

In the Instagram app, go to Settings and privacy → Website permissions → Apps and websites, and remove CampaignFlow.

3.3 Facebook

On Facebook, go to Settings & privacy → Settings → Apps and Websites, and remove CampaignFlow.

3.4 LinkedIn

On LinkedIn, go to Settings & Privacy → Data privacy → Permitted services, and remove CampaignFlow.

3.5 YouTube and Google

YouTube publishing and Google Drive import both use your Google account. Manage both at https://myaccount.google.com/permissions and remove CampaignFlow's access there.

3.6 What platform-side revocation does not do

Revoking on the platform stops future publishing and reading. It does not remove anything from CampaignFlow: the copy, campaigns and delivery history already stored here stay until you delete your CampaignFlow account.

4. How to Deactivate Your Account

  1. Open CampaignFlow and log in.
  2. Go to Settings in the sidebar.
  3. Scroll to Danger zone.
  4. On the Deactivate account row, type your password to confirm.
  5. Confirm. You are signed out everywhere and all scheduled publishing stops.

Your data is kept. Log back in whenever you want and the account is reactivated as it was.

5. How to Delete Your Account

  1. Open CampaignFlow and log in.
  2. Go to Settings in the sidebar.
  3. Scroll to Danger zone.
  4. Click Delete account.
  5. Read the list of what will be removed.
  6. Type your password to confirm.
  7. Click Delete my account.

Deletion runs immediately. See section 2.3 for the full list of what is removed, and the warning that goes with it.

5.1 The one case where deletion is refused

If you are the only owner of a brand that still has other members, deleting your account would erase work that is not yours. CampaignFlow refuses the deletion and names the brand that is blocking it.

To go ahead, do one of these first, then delete again:

  • Promote another member of that brand to owner.
  • Remove the other members from that brand.

Brands where someone else is already an owner do not block anything and are left untouched — you are simply removed as a member.

6. If You Removed CampaignFlow from Facebook or Instagram

If you removed CampaignFlow through Meta's own settings rather than from inside CampaignFlow, Meta notifies us automatically. The associated connection is revoked and its stored credential destroyed on our end, with nothing further for you to do.

Meta gives you a confirmation code and a status link at that point. The link lands on our data deletion status page, which shows what that code refers to.

Note that this covers the connection only. Campaigns, copy and delivery history stored in your CampaignFlow account are removed by deleting the CampaignFlow account itself, as in section 5.
