Delete your data

Last updated October 6, 2026

How to remove what Realbard holds about you — a single connection, particular things, or everything. It applies to everyone who uses Realbard, including anyone who connected a Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Google or Microsoft account, and to people whose details an agency keeps in Realbard.

In short

  • To stop Realbard using a connected account: Settings → Connections → Disconnect. Access ends at once and the stored key is deleted.
  • To delete everything: Settings → Account → Delete this account. It is immediate and you do it yourself.
  • Or write to us at [email protected] with the subject “Data deletion request”. We confirm within 3 working days.
  • Deleted data leaves our live systems within 30 days and our encrypted backups within 90.
  • If an agency holds your details and you have no Realbard account, ask the agency — or write to us and we will pass it on.

This box is a summary. The text below is the document.

1.What Realbard holds

  • Your account: name, email, password hash; if you signed in with Google, your Google name, email, picture and account identifier.
  • Your workspace: listings and their photographs, your brand, everything made for you (posts, adverts, pictures, videos, emails, your website), and your settings.
  • Your clients: the people in your client book, their enquiries and conversations, viewings, deals and tasks.
  • From each account you connected: the encrypted key that lets Realbard act; the identifiers of the Pages, Instagram accounts, advertising accounts, WhatsApp number or mailbox you chose; the results of what was published; enquiries from advert forms; and, if you turned messaging on, the messages and comments in your inbox.
  • Billing: your plan and invoices.

The privacy policy describes all of it; the permissions page lists what each connection can reach.

2.Delete it yourself, in Realbard

To remove
A connection to Facebook and Instagram, or Google Ads
Where
Settings → Connections → Disconnect
What happens
Realbard’s access stops immediately and the stored access key is deleted. Nothing more is published or read.
To remove
Messenger, Instagram messages, comments or WhatsApp in your inbox
Where
Inbox → Channels → Turn off
What happens
Realbard stops receiving and sending on that channel and deletes its key.
To remove
A Gmail or Microsoft mailbox
Where
Outreach → Sending from → Remove
What happens
The mailbox and its keys are deleted. Realbard can no longer send from that address.
To remove
A listing, a post, an advert, a picture or video, an email, a page of your website
Where
On the item itself → Delete
What happens
The item is removed from your workspace.
To remove
A person in your client book
Where
Clients → People → the person → the “…” menu → Delete this person (an administrator does this)
What happens
The person is deleted at once, with their conversations, enquiries, viewings, deals and tasks. If they had asked for no more messages, their address stays on the stop list so that the request is still honoured.
To remove
Your whole account
Where
Settings → Account → Delete this account
What happens
After you confirm with your password, your account is deleted at once. A workspace of which you are the only member is deleted with everything in it, and its subscription is cancelled. We email you a confirmation.

If you signed up with Google and never set a password, use “Forgot password” on the sign-in page to set one first — deleting an account asks for it, so that nobody else can do it for you.

If other people share your workspace, deleting your account removes you and leaves the workspace to them. If you are its only administrator, make someone else an administrator first, or remove the other members, and the workspace can then be deleted with your account.

3.If you removed Realbard from Facebook or Google instead

You can also take Realbard’s access away from the platform’s side — in Facebook under Settings → Business integrations, in your Google account’s permissions, or in your Microsoft account’s app permissions. That stops Realbard from publishing, reading or sending through the account immediately: the key we hold no longer works.

It does not, by itself, tell Realbard to delete what it already holds. To do that, disconnect the account in Realbard as well (above), delete your account, or write to us (below) — say which Facebook, Instagram or Google account it concerns and we will delete the data that came from it.

4.Ask us to delete it

Write to [email protected] with the subject “Data deletion request”, from the email address of your Realbard account — or, if you cannot, with enough detail for us to be sure the account is yours. Tell us whether you want everything deleted or only what came from a particular connected account.

We confirm that we have your request within 3 working days, and write again when the deletion is done. There is no charge and you do not need to give a reason.

5.If an agency holds your details

If you enquired about a home, wrote to an agency, or receive emails about homes from an agency that uses Realbard, the agency decides what is kept about you. Every email of that kind has a link to stop them. To have your details deleted, ask the agency. If you cannot reach it, write to [email protected] with the agency’s name and the email address or phone number you used; we will pass your request to the agency and help it act on it.

6.What is deleted, and what is not

Deleting your account deletes your account details, the workspace and everything in it, the keys to every connected account, and your clients’ data held in it.

What remains, and why:

  • Things already published on a platform — a post on your Facebook Page, an advert in your advertising account, an email in someone’s inbox — are in that platform’s systems, not ours. Remove them there.
  • Billing and tax records, for as long as the law requires them to be kept.
  • Anything under a legal hold, until it ends.
  • Figures that identify nobody — counts and totals with no person or agency attached.
