Data Deletion
Cheeky Merlin connects to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Google accounts (including YouTube, Google Business Profile, Google Ads and Google Analytics) only when an agency or its client signs in and approves it. This page explains how to remove that access and how to ask us to delete the data we hold from those accounts. It works alongside our Privacy Policy.
Remove Cheeky Merlin's access
You can take back access at any time from the account itself. Once removed, Cheeky Merlin can no longer read from or post to that account.
- Facebook and Instagram (connected through Facebook): on Facebook, go to Settings & privacy, then Settings, then Business integrations, and remove Cheeky Merlin.
- Instagram (connected with Instagram login): in Instagram, go to Settings, then Website permissions, then Apps and websites, and remove Cheeky Merlin.
- TikTok: in the TikTok app, open Settings and privacy, find the list of apps connected to your account, and remove Cheeky Merlin.
- Google, YouTube, Google Business Profile, Google Ads and Google Analytics: go to myaccount.google.com/connections, choose Cheeky Merlin and remove its access.
Remove the connection inside Cheeky Merlin
An agency user, or a client signed in to their portal, can open Integrations and click Disconnect on any connected account. This deletes the access Cheeky Merlin stored for that account straight away.
Ask us to delete your data
To have the data we hold from your account deleted, such as posts scheduled through Cheeky Merlin, their results, and ad and analytics figures read from your accounts, email jake@blackxmarketing.com with the subject Delete my data. Tell us the account, Page or business name. We'll delete it and confirm by email when it's done.
