How to Delete Your Data from SCN
Your Data, Your Control
You have the right to delete your data at any time. We respect your privacy and comply with global data protection regulations.
Complete Account Deletion
Permanently delete your entire SCN account and all associated data:
Mobile App:
- Go to Settings → Account Settings
- Tap “Delete Account”
- Enter your password for verification
- Confirm deletion (this action is irreversible)
What gets deleted: Your profile, SCN number, all social connections, verifications, collaborations, events, todos, payment methods, and all personal data.
Social Media Profile Deletion
Remove individual social media connections from your SCN:
Supported Platforms:
- • Facebook & Facebook Pages
- • YouTube
- • Twitter/X
How to Remove:

What gets deleted: When you remove a social profile, we delete the connection, all cached public profile data (followers count, public bio, profile picture), OAuth tokens, and the link to that platform. This does not affect your account on the social platform itself.

Automated Data Handling
Data is automatically handled in these scenarios:

- Device Removal: Removed devices are immediately blocked from accessing your account and cannot be reused
- Token Expiry: OAuth tokens are refreshed automatically or removed if refresh fails after multiple attempts
Data Retention & Backups
