Delete your account
Last updated: 29 June 2026
You can permanently delete your Tube Guard account and all of its associated data at any time. This page explains how, what gets removed, and how to reach us if you need help.
Deleting your account is permanent and cannot be undone.
1. Delete from within the app
The fastest way to delete your account is from your parent account settings:
- Sign in to Tube Guard.
- Go to your account settings (Account).
- Select "Delete account".
- Type DELETE to confirm, then choose "Delete forever".
Your account and all associated data are then permanently removed.
2. Request deletion by email
If you can't sign in, or you'd prefer we handle it for you, email us at support@appeffects.co.uk from the email address on your account and ask us to delete it. To protect your account, we may take steps to verify your identity before processing the request. We aim to complete verified requests within 30 days.
3. What gets deleted
Deleting your account permanently removes your personal data from our active systems, including:
- Your parent account details (name, email, hashed password and PIN).
- All child profiles you created (names, ages, avatars and interests).
- Your approved channels and viewing settings, including daily limits and bedtime schedules.
- Watch history and usage activity for every child profile.
- Records of any access codes you redeemed.
4. What may be retained
We delete your personal data from active systems when you delete your account. We may retain a limited amount of information where we are required to for legal, accounting, fraud-prevention, or dispute-resolution purposes — for example, a record of a transaction. Any such information is kept only as long as necessary and is then removed.
Your subscription is managed by the app store or payment provider you used to subscribe. Deleting your Tube Guard account does not by itself cancel an active subscription, so please also cancel it through that store or provider to stop future charges.
