Account & Data Deletion
Automatic Inactive Account Deletion (90 Days)
If you are not using the Beyond Pixels app for more than 90 days, your account and all associated personal data will be deleted automatically.
You do not need to take any action if you have stopped using the app. Inactive profiles, cached metadata, and associated identifiers are automatically queued for permanent removal once 90 days of inactivity have elapsed.
Request Immediate Account Deletion
If you want your account and data deleted immediately rather than waiting for the 90-day automatic period, submit the request form below.
