User Data & Deletion

Last updated: April 12, 2026

BugBitten is committed to protecting your privacy and respecting your right to control your personal data. This page explains what data we hold, how to request deletion, and how we comply with the data deletion policies of Meta (Facebook & Instagram), Google, Apple, and other platforms.

What Data We Hold

When you create a BugBitten account or sign in via a social platform, we may store:

Platform Compliance

We comply with the data deletion requirements of the following platforms and regulatory frameworks:

Meta (Facebook & Instagram)
Google Sign-In
Apple Sign-In
GDPR (EU / UK)
CCPA (California)
Privacy Act (Australia)

If you used a social login to create your BugBitten account, you can also manage connected app permissions directly from that platform (e.g. Facebook Settings → Apps and Websites, or Google Account → Third-party apps with account access). Revoking access there will prevent future sign-ins but will not automatically delete your BugBitten data — please submit the form below to request full deletion.
