Children's privacy notice

Koby is made for children, so this notice tells parents exactly what we collect from and about a child, why, and how you stay in control. There is a part for kids at the end.

Last updated: November 14, 2026EnglishTürkçe

    We do not collect a child's e-mail address, phone number, photos, voice, contacts, messages, browsing history or location history, and the child cannot post anything publicly in Koby. There is no advertising, no analytics and no behavioural profiling on a child's device. We do not require a child to give more information than an activity needs.

  3. 3Who can see it

    • You, and any other parent or guardian you link to the child.
    • Your child, who sees their own rules, time left, requests and the list of grown-ups who can see their data.
    • Service providers that run Koby for us under contract (hosting, notification delivery, crash reports), listed in the privacy policy. They may use the data only to provide their service to us.
    • Authorities, only when the law requires it.

    We do not sell children's information, share it for advertising or disclose it to third parties for their own purposes, and we do not use it to train AI models.

  4. 5Your rights as a parent

    • Review: see your child's data in the app at any time, or download it as a file (child's profile › Download data).
    • Correct: change the name, birth date or gender in the child's profile.
    • Stop further collection: withdraw consent in the app or with the link in our e-mail. The child's sessions end and the device stops sending data. Existing data stays until you delete it.
    • Delete: remove a device, or delete the child's profile with all its data, at any time. See account and data deletion.
    • Ask us: write to us and we will help with any of the above within the time the law allows.

    Removing data may mean Koby can no longer provide some features for that child. How to delete: the account and data deletion page.

  5. 6Retention and security

    We keep children's information only as long as the table above says and then delete it automatically. It is encrypted in transit, access is checked on the server for every request, and Koby staff look at it only to help with a request you made or to keep the service secure. Our written security and retention practices are described in the privacy policy and on our security page.

  6. 7For kids: you and your information

    • Koby helps you and your family keep the rules you agreed on, like how long you can play and when it's bedtime.
    • Koby is never hidden. You can always see that it's on and which grown-ups can see your information.
    • Koby does not read your messages, does not look through your camera or listen with the microphone, and does not watch your screen.
    • Your grown-ups can see how long you used your apps, whether Koby is working, and, if location is allowed on your phone, where it was last. Koby forgets that place after 7 days.
    • When you ask for more time, the reason you write goes to your grown-ups. Please don't write secrets or personal things in it.
    • If something feels wrong or you have a question, talk to your grown-up, or ask them to write to us.
