User Data Deletion

Last updated: 2026-07-29

Braidcast has no user accounts and no database. Everything it stores about a connected platform lives on your own computer, so deleting it is something you can do yourself, immediately, without asking us.

What is stored, and where

When you connect a streaming account, Braidcast keeps that platform's OAuth access token, and a refresh token where the platform issues one, together with your connection settings. These are written only to your device and are encrypted at rest. On Windows that uses the operating system's Data Protection API (DPAPI), which ties the encrypted data to your Windows user account.

We keep no copy. The authentication service at auth.braidcast.comadds the client secret to a sign-in request, forwards it, returns the platform's reply to your device, and retains nothing. It has no database. Your video, audio, and chat never pass through it at all.

Delete your data

Either step below is enough on its own; doing both removes the stored credential and withdraws the permission that issued it.

1. Disconnect inside the app. Open Braidcast, go to the connected account, and choose Disconnect. This deletes that platform's stored tokens from your device straight away.
2. Revoke access at the platform. This withdraws the authorization itself, from the platform's side:
   • Facebook:Settings › Apps and Websites, select Braidcast, then Remove.
   • YouTube and Google:Google security settings.
   • Twitch:Settings › Connections.
   • Kick: Settings › Connections, in your Kick account.

Remove everything at once

To erase all locally stored data rather than one platform's, delete Braidcast's configuration folder. On Windows this is%APPDATA%\braidcast. Paste that into the File Explorer address bar to open it. Removing that folder deletes every stored token along with your scenes and settings, and cannot be undone. A portable install keeps the same data next to the application instead.

Asking us to delete data

Because we hold nothing on a server, there is no server-side record for us to erase on request. The steps above are the complete deletion path. If you want to confirm that, or you believe some data exists that this page does not describe, write tosupport@braidcast.com and we will answer.
