Reddit Data Deletion
How to disconnect Reddit from HiBeaver, remove stored connection data, and manage content already published on Reddit.
Last updated:
What HiBeaver stores
If you choose to connect Reddit, the only Reddit account data HiBeaver retains for the connection is:
- your Reddit account ID and username;
- an encrypted Reddit refresh token; and
- minimum operational metadata, such as the granted permissions and connection timestamps.
Short-lived access tokens are used only as needed and are not retained as account data.
Disconnect Reddit in HiBeaver
- Sign in to the HiBeaver account that you used when connecting Reddit.
- Open User, then Connected accounts.
- Choose Reddit, then select Disconnect Reddit.
- Confirm the request.
Reddit linking is being prepared. If the Disconnect control is not yet available in your version of HiBeaver, submit Feedback in the app with the subject “Delete Reddit connection.” We will verify the account before removing its connection data.
Revoke access from Reddit
You can also review and revoke HiBeaver from your Reddit Apps page. Revoking access at Reddit stops the authorization from being used. To ensure the connection record is also removed from HiBeaver, complete the HiBeaver disconnect steps above or submit the deletion request through Feedback.
Posts and comments already on Reddit
Disconnecting Reddit from HiBeaver does not delete posts or comments already published to Reddit. To remove them, sign in to Reddit and delete the individual post or comment there. Deleting a Reddit account alone may not delete its previous posts or comments, so remove any content you no longer want before deleting the Reddit account.
If Reddit reports content as deleted or unavailable, HiBeaver will no longer display it after the relevant live request or temporary cache expires.
Need help?
Submit Feedback from the HiBeaver account in question. This lets us verify ownership without asking you to send a password or an access token. Never include passwords or tokens in a support request.
