Takedown & Removal

Effective: April 8, 2026

Panopticon only processes publicly available social media data. If your profile is public, its content is accessible to anyone on the internet — including this platform.

If you do not want your data to appear on Panopticon, the solution is simple: make your account private.

How to Remove Your Data

  1. Set your account to private — once your profile is private, Panopticon can no longer access any of your data. No new lookups will return results.
  2. Cached data expires automatically — any previously cached data will be permanently purged according to our retention schedule (see below). You do not need to contact us.

That's it. No email, no form, no waiting for approval. You are in full control.

How to Make Your Account Private

Instagram

Settings → Account Privacy → toggle Private Account on.

TikTok

Settings and Privacy → Privacy → toggle Private Account on.

Automatic Data Expiry

All cached data is temporary and expires automatically — no action required on your part:

  • Profile data: 24 hours
  • Post & media data: 7 days
  • AI analysis reports: 24 hours
  • Server access logs: 90 days

Once your account is private, no new data can be fetched, and all existing cached data will be gone within the timeframes above.
