Your data, and leaving
Taking a copy of everything you have written, what counts against your storage, and deleting the account.
The Guest Archive on this device
Before you sign in, the rich text and tags you explicitly keep in Compose are stored in this browser. IndexedDB is the first choice and local storage is used only when IndexedDB is unavailable. There is no automatic expiry: the archive remains until you use Delete all or clear this browser's site data.
Saving locally does not send the body or tags to sizuq. The service records only coarse daily totals for a few onboarding steps, split by language and experience version, without an IP address, User-Agent, cookie, account id or lasting guest id.
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, Only me thoughts 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 in the media library, cover images, garden logos and favicons, thumbnails on an orbit. Reusing a library picture does not count it twice. Once it is no longer used anywhere, deleting it from the library gives that room back.
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.
