Your data, and leaving
Taking a copy of everything you have written, what counts against your storage, and deleting the account.
Taking a copy
You can download everything tied to your account as a single file, at any time, without asking anyone. It arrives as one structured document rather than a folder of pages, so another program can read it as easily as you can.
- Your profile.
- Every drop, including drafts and archived ones.
- Your gardens and their settings.
- Resonances, space memberships and friends.
What takes up room
Only pictures count against your storage. Writing does not — no amount of prose will bring you near a limit, and sizuq does not cap how much you write.
Everything you upload counts: pictures inside drops, cover images, garden logos and favicons, thumbnails on an orbit. Removing one gives the room back, because the count goes down as well as up.
Storage by planDeleting the account
Deletion is real and immediate. It is not a suspension, there is no grace period in which you can change your mind, and sizuq does not keep a shadow copy in case you regret it.
- Export first, if you want a copy. Afterwards is too late.
- Download any pictures you want to keep — the export references them but does not contain them.
- Confirm it is you.
- Everything goes: drops, gardens, pages, orbits, resonances, memberships.
What other people keep
Deleting removes what is yours. It cannot reach what was never on sizuq: a drop someone quoted elsewhere, a page a search engine cached, a screenshot.
This is worth being clear about rather than implying otherwise. Publishing is not reversible in the world, only on the site — which is, in a roundabout way, the reason the Reflection delay exists at all.
