Graze Social Opt Out: Remove Your Bluesky Data

To opt out of Graze Social's processing of your public Bluesky information, email legal@graze.social and request deletion from its datasets and exclusion from future processing. Identify the profile or content that belongs to you so the request can be matched.

Graze's policy also offers an email-based Request Data Removal dialog. Removing data from Graze is different from deleting a Bluesky post, closing a Graze account or contacting a feed curator.

We checked the official policy and opened the public removal dialog on November 1, 2026. The dialog displayed an email field. We did not enter an address, submit a request, access an account or measure a removal. The policy's explicit email instructions are the basis for the public-profile workflow below.

Identify the data and the responsible party

Graze's privacy policy describes using public Bluesky content for feeds, analytics and related services. It distinguishes processing for its own purposes from processing for a user or feed curator. That distinction affects who can handle a request about a particular use of your information.

Situation	Useful starting action	What remains separate
Your public Bluesky data appears in Graze processing	Ask Graze for deletion and future-processing opt-out	Original Bluesky post and other copies
You want to restrict profiling	Name profiling explicitly in the request	Other platforms' profiling
Information is associated with your Graze account	Use account controls or privacy contact	Public source content and billing records
A curator controls a particular use	Contact that user or curator about its processing	Graze's own controller responsibilities
A service submits requests for many people	Use Graze's documented agent process	Individual consumer request route

Do not start by deleting an account if the problem is a public post that Graze processed without you having a Graze account. Define the record and requested action first. The opt-out guide hub explains other providers' separate workflows.

Send a focused individual privacy request

The policy expressly tells Bluesky users to email legal@graze.social for deletion from Graze datasets or exclusion from future processing. That route is useful when your request needs a public profile URL, content reference or explanation beyond the email field in the dialog.

Identify your public profile

Include the Bluesky handle or profile URL and any specific post URL relevant to the request. State that the information belongs to you. These are practical matching details to consider, not a claim that Graze has published a fixed mandatory field list for all email requests.

If your handle changed, explain the relationship between the old and current identifiers. Do not provide another person's profile as a test. When a post includes information about several people, identify the personal information you are requesting action on and avoid asserting authority over unrelated users.

Name deletion and future processing separately

A short request can say: “Please delete personal data about me from Graze datasets and exclude my identified Bluesky content from future processing. Please confirm what identifiers you need and the scope of the action.” Add a specific profiling objection if that is part of your goal.

The wording above is a suggested way to organize a request, not a prediction of the legal result. Graze's policy describes rights, verification and exceptions that can depend on the circumstances. Ask for a response that states what was done and what was retained.

Keep a record of what you asked for

Save the sent message and record the contact address, profile identifier and submission date. Keep later verification and completion messages with it. A statement that support received your email is different from confirmation that the identified data was deleted or excluded.

Confirm the privacy address on Graze's live policy.
Identify the profile or content associated with you.
Specify deletion, future-processing restriction and any profiling request.
Respond to legitimate matching questions through the official channel.
Retain the final response and any explanation of limits.

Our manual data broker removal workflow provides a practical way to track submitted, verified and completed requests separately.

What the public removal dialog does and does not show

Graze public data removal dialog with email field checked November 1, 2026 — Public source checked November 1, 2026. No personal information or request submitted.

The policy page includes a Request Data Removal control. Opening it displayed a dialog asking for an email address, with a cancellation control and a request button. That is observable public intake, but we did not submit it or observe a confirmation email.

An email-only dialog may not make the relevant Bluesky profile obvious to a reader whose account uses another address. If the form cannot express your request clearly, use the policy's email route and ask how the provider links the request to the correct profile. Do not assume that typing any email automatically identifies all public content about you.

The dialog concerns Graze's systems. It is not a Bluesky account-deletion screen and does not establish that a source post or another organization's copy has changed. Keep the source URL in your records so you can check those surfaces independently.

If the dialog is unavailable, capture a private note of the error and contact the published privacy address. A broken visual control does not remove the policy's written request route. Avoid repeated submissions through several channels unless the provider asks you to resubmit.

Verification, account data and expected responses

Graze says it needs enough information to verify that the requester is the person concerned or an authorized representative. It also needs enough context to understand the requested action. The policy does not establish one universal email-verification sequence for every individual request.

Ask what is missing if the provider cannot identify your data. Share relevant identifiers through its documented channel, and check the purpose before sending extra documents. An inability to match one email should be recorded as a matching issue rather than as proof that no public-profile data exists.

The policy commits to handling requests according to applicable legal timeframes. We did not observe a single universal completion deadline for the public Bluesky workflow. Its separate statement about account data being deleted within 90 days after account closure should not be repurposed as a deadline for every privacy request.

If you disagree with a decision, the policy gives legal@graze.social as an appeal contact. Reference the original request and explain the specific disputed outcome. A precise appeal is more useful than a new generic message that makes the request history harder to follow.

Keep curator and authorized-agent routes distinct

Graze says requests about information it processes on behalf of a user should be directed to that user. If a particular curator determines how your information is used, ask the curator about that processing. You can still ask Graze to explain which role it holds for the information in question.

For bulk or automated requests from authorized services, the policy describes a dedicated privacy-compliance API. It requires proper authorization and an organization-specific technical process. Individual consumers are directed to the normal removal route; they do not need to implement an API to email a privacy request.

The Brandwatch opt-out guide covers another social-data context, while the Meltwater guide explains a separate monitoring-provider workflow. Use those only when you have reason to address those companies; a Graze request does not establish that either holds your information.

Reduce future exposure at the source

Review the public Bluesky content you control and decide whether to edit or remove sensitive details there. Graze's response cannot substitute for source-level choices. A profile left publicly accessible can remain available to other services or people, even after one company acts on a request.

Check whether the final response addresses both existing data and future processing for the supplied identifiers. If you later change handles or publish under a new profile, ask whether the earlier restriction still matches. Keep enough request history to recognize what was covered without storing unnecessary copies of sensitive content.

The data broker opt-out list helps organize separate requests. A free exposure scan can identify supported public exposures to investigate, but it does not inspect Graze's internal datasets or verify that its request process succeeded.

Frequently asked questions

Must I have a Graze account to request removal?

The policy explicitly discusses requests from people whose public Bluesky information is processed. That is separate from managing a Graze account. Use the privacy contact to identify your public profile and explain the processing you want addressed.

Will Graze delete my Bluesky account or posts?

This request concerns Graze's processing. Changes to the original Bluesky account or content require action on that platform. Other copies and uses may need separate follow-up with their respective controllers.

Does the email dialog prove my data was found?

No. It is an intake control. We observed the email field but did not submit it or inspect a private result. Ask for a substantive response that explains matching, action taken and any limits.

Do individuals need to use the API?

The policy reserves the dedicated API process for bulk or automated submissions by authorized services. Individual users can use the normal privacy-request route. Do not present yourself as an agent without authority.

How can I follow up on an unclear response?

Reply through the official privacy channel with the original reference, profile URL and requested actions. Ask which data was matched, whether future processing is restricted and whether another controller must handle part of the request.
