1Delete your account
Effective date: 15 November 2026.
- In the iPhone or iPad app: Settings › Account and security › Delete my account.
- On the web: sign in at app.withkoby.com, then Settings › Account › Delete account.
- Can't sign in? Write to from the e-mail address of your account and we will delete it for you after checking that the request is yours.
You confirm with your password, or by signing in again if you use Sign in with Apple or Google. Then:
- You are signed out on every device straight away.
- Your account is permanently erased 30 days after the request. Signing in again during those 30 days cancels the deletion.
- The erase includes the children's profiles you created and all their data: rules, requests, screen time, location, protection status, tasks and rewards, notifications and devices. Children you joined as a second parent stay with the parent who created them.
- If you used Sign in with Apple, we also revoke Koby's access to your Apple ID.
- We send a confirmation e-mail when the account has been erased.
Subscriptions: deleting your account does not cancel an App Store subscription. Cancel it in your Apple ID settings (Settings › your name › Subscriptions). See the subscription terms.
Want a copy first? Download your data in Settings › Account › Download my data, or a child's data from their profile.
2Delete a child's profile and data
Open the child's profile and choose Delete child. If you created the profile, the child's account and all its data are deleted immediately and their devices are signed out. If another parent created it, only your link to the child is removed. A child cannot delete their own account; they can ask a parent.
3Remove a device
- From the parent app or web panel: open the child's profile, choose the device and Remove. The device is signed out and its registration and notification token are deleted.
- On a child's Mac or Windows PC: choose Remove pairing in the Koby app. The parents are notified.
- Then delete the Koby app from the device.
Removing a device keeps the child's history (such as screen time totals) until it expires or you delete the child's profile.
4Stop data collection without deleting
You can withdraw parental consent in the child's profile or, for a child under 13, with the link in the e-mail we sent after you confirmed. The child's devices stop sending data and the child is signed out until you give consent again. Data already collected stays until it expires or you delete it. You can also stop location alone by turning off location access for Koby in the child's device settings.
