# How to remove your information from Meta data sources

If you want to stop using Supermetrics with Meta data sources, you can request removal of your Meta-specific information from Supermetrics.

This instruction applies to the following Meta data source connectors Supermetrics provides:

- Facebook Ads
- Facebook Insights
- Instagram Insights
- Instagram Public Data
- Threads Insights

Note that the instructions in this article apply to situations when you no longer wish to use Supermetrics and want your data removed completely. [To reset your business integration to resolve connection issues with Facebook and Instagram data sources, follow these instructions instead](/v1/docs/how-to-reset-the-supermetrics-facebook-business-integrations).

## Instructions

### Remove information from Facebook Ads, Facebook Insights, Instagram Insights, and Instagram Public Data

1. [Log into Facebook](http://www.facebook.com) with the account that you use to authorize the data source in Supermetrics.
2. [Go to the Business Integrations page](https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=business_tools).
3. In the **Active** section, find the Supermetrics integration for the data source you're using.
4. Click **Remove** next to the integration you want to remove.![Manage business integrations, view details, and remove permissions for Supermetrics integration.](https://cdn.document360.io/a13cead5-eaae-456f-9bd1-0941d590c0e3/Images/Documentation/meta-remove-supermetrics-integration.png)
5. Click **Remove** again to confirm. This will deactivate your connection with this data source and you will need to reconnect to the data source to use it again.
6. In the **Removed** section, find the integration you just removed. Click **View details**.
7. Click **Send Request**. This will request that Supermetrics delete your authentications associated with that data source and if using Facebook Ads, delete all custom fields attached to your user account.![Supermetrics privacy notice regarding data usage and deletion request from Facebook.](https://cdn.document360.io/a13cead5-eaae-456f-9bd1-0941d590c0e3/Images/Documentation/meta-send-supermetrics-removal-request.png)
8. After sending the request, you'll see the that the request has been received by Supermetrics. To view the status of the request, click **View Status**. The status is either Pending or Completed.

### Remove information from Threads Insights

1. [Log into Threads](https://www.threads.net/) with the account that you use to authorize the data source in Supermetrics.
2. [Go to the Settings page](https://www.threads.net/settings/account?hl=en).
3. Under the **Account** section, select **Website permissions**.
4. Under the **Active** section, click **Remove** next to Supermetrics Threads.![Active apps connected to Threads profile, including Supermetrics Threads authorization details.](https://cdn.document360.io/a13cead5-eaae-456f-9bd1-0941d590c0e3/Images/Documentation/threads-insights-remove-supermetrics-integration.png)
