Data deletion

Last updated: 2026-07-31

This page describes how to delete your Loopcam account and everything attached to it, and exactly what that removes.

How to delete your account

The Loopcam API supports full account deletion: a signed-in DELETE https://loopcam.lol/api/users/self request (authenticated with your session bearer token) permanently deletes your account. The iOS app is still in development, so there is no in-app delete button yet; one will ship with the app.

If you would rather not call the API yourself, email me@torrauden.com from the email address on your account and ask for deletion. The account will be deleted and you will get a confirmation when it is done.

What deletion removes

Deleting your account deletes the account record, and the database cascades take everything attached to it with it:

  • your loops — both the database records and the stored video files (the original upload and every transcoded rendition) are removed from object storage
  • your comments, LOLs, and @-mentions
  • who you follow and who follows you
  • your notification entries
  • your sign-in sessions and device push tokens
  • pending uploads that were never turned into a loop, including the uploaded files
  • reports you filed and users you blocked

Counts on other users’ profiles and loops (followers, LOLs, comments) are corrected as part of the same deletion. Deletion is immediate and permanent — there is no recovery window.

What remains

  • short-lived rate-limit counters keyed by IP or email address rather than by account, which reset on their own within the hour
  • standard request logs kept by the hosting platform (Vercel), per its own policy
  • the database host’s routine backups, if any, from which deleted data ages out on the provider’s rotation schedule

Facebook and Meta

Loopcam does not use Facebook Login or any Meta SDK, and receives no user data from Meta — so there is no Meta-sourced data to delete. This page exists because Meta’s App Review requires every registered app to publish a data-deletion URL.

Loopcam is a personal project and is currently pre-launch. This page is written to describe the system accurately, but it is not legal advice and has not been reviewed by a lawyer. It should be, before any public launch.
