What personal data does Voki store?
Voki stores only what is strictly necessary to operate your account. We never collect children's real names, photos, locations, or biometric data. Below is a complete overview of what we hold.
1. Personal Data We Hold
The following personal data may be stored for users who created an account via Sign in with Apple:
| Data Type | Purpose | Storage | Deletion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apple User ID Opaque identifier from Apple |
Account authentication | CloudKit (iCloud) | Full deletion |
| Display name Name provided via Sign in with Apple |
Author profile in app | CloudKit (iCloud) | Full deletion |
| Email address Only if user chose to share it with Apple |
Account recovery / contact | CloudKit (iCloud) | Full deletion |

What we never store
Voki never stores children's real names, photos, voices, locations, biometric data, or any data that could identify a child. Story characters use fictional, generic attributes you provide (like hair color or favorite animal) — not real-world identity data.
2. How to Request Deletion
You can request full deletion of your account and associated personal data at any time. Choose the method that works best for you:
Option A — Delete from within the app (recommended)
-

Open Voki on your iPhone or iPad Make sure you are signed in to the account you wish to delete.

2
Go to Profile → Settings Tap your profile icon in the bottom navigation bar, then open Settings.

Option B — Send us a deletion request by email
If you no longer have access to the app, or prefer to submit your request in writing, send an email to:
Send Deletion Request to info@voki.familyPlease include in your email:

What happens after your request
We will confirm receipt of your deletion request within 72 hours and complete the full deletion of your data within 30 days, in compliance with GDPR Article 17. You will receive a confirmation email once deletion is complete.
3. Scope of Deletion
When we process a deletion request, we will erase:
- Your account record (Apple User ID, name, email) from our CloudKit database
- All stories you created, including generated text, cover art, and audio files
- Any profile preferences and settings stored server-side
Data we cannot delete on your behalf
The following data is outside our direct control, but we provide guidance on how to remove it:
- Apple App Store subscription records — managed by Apple. Cancel and manage subscriptions via iPhone Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.
- iCloud app storage — local device data synced via iCloud is managed by Apple. You can remove it via iPhone Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → Manage Storage.
- Anonymous Firebase analytics — these events are not linked to your identity and cannot be attributed to your account after deletion.
