Deleting your account and data

WormStudio — a tool for scheduling and publishing material on Instagram. This page explains how to request the deletion of your account and data, what exactly is deleted, and what we cannot delete.

How to request deletion

Send your deletion request to the contact address of the service: privacy@anyworm.com. Include the e-mail address the account is registered under. We act on the request without undue delay and no later than 30 days after we receive it. The deletion is carried out by the service operator with an administrative command — there is no self-service button in the panel today.

Deletion is irreversible and there is no recycle bin. Once it is done, neither the account nor the material nor the statistics can be recovered.

What gets deleted

Your account is erased from our database.
The profiles your account owns are erased together with it.
The entries about your material — scheduled, published and rejected — are erased together with the profiles.
The stored publication statistics (reach, views, likes) are erased together with the material.
The profile tags, rejected tags included, are erased together with the profiles.
The access token we stored for your Instagram account is erased together with the profile. We do not revoke it on Meta's side, however — withdraw the application's permission yourself in the settings of your Instagram account.
The e-mail address the account is registered under is erased from the invitation the account was created with as well — only the trace that the invitation was issued and used stays there.
The files on disk — the recordings uploaded to the inbox and the generated thumbnails — we delete only on an explicit request. Say in your message that the files should go as well; otherwise they stay on the server's disk even though the account and its entries no longer exist.

What happens immediately

Your browser session stops being valid immediately — the next request ends at the login screen.
Invitations issued by your account stop working — anyone still holding an unused invitation from you will not be able to register with it.

What we do not delete, and why

Material already published on Instagram we do not and cannot delete. It belongs to your Instagram account, not to our service — it is deleted there, in the Instagram app or website.
If your material reached Instagram through our temporary hosting, a copy of it sat outside this server for the time of the publication. We clear it away right after the publication, but when that clean-up fails the copy stays there — deleting the account does not touch it.
Profiles belonging to other accounts are left untouched, even when they carry the same name as yours.
