How long does Skie keep my child's data?

Skie for Parents · Updated

Short answer

Skie does not publish a retention period, and configurable retention is not available yet. The location trail you see is a limited recent history. Data can be removed through support. The team is working on retention controls and self-service deletion, with no date to give.

It is a fair question, and we would rather answer it honestly than offer a number we cannot stand behind. Skie does not state a fixed retention period in this knowledge base.

What we can say is how it works from your side. The dashboard shows a recent location trail, not a long archive. Alerts and status show recent events. Nightly backups protect the service itself, and a restore can bring back an earlier state.

Configurable retention, where you would choose how long records are kept, is not available yet. Self-service deletion is not available yet either. If you want records removed, contact support, and they will handle the request.

You can make the data smaller yourself. If you remove a child or a device you no longer use, the record is no longer active. Using Remove Skie on the device turns off protections and releases ownership. Ask support to delete what remains.

Skie does not collect messages, call logs, audio or video, so those never enter a retention question. This is general information, not legal advice. Rules about how long a child's data may be kept differ by country.
