Delete your String account

How to request deletion of your String Family account, what is deleted, and what stays and why.

What this page covers

String Family is the parent app for schools that use String, published by Steam Hub Software Corp.

How to request deletion

  1. Email privacy@string.education or message us on WhatsApp at +962 78 597 0011.
  2. Include the phone number registered to your account.
  3. We contact you on that registered number to verify your identity, so that no one else can delete your account.
  4. We acknowledge your request within 7 business days.

You can also tell your child's school, and they will contact us on your behalf.

What is deleted

  • Your account and login credentials
  • Your name, email address and phone number
  • Messages you sent to teachers through the app
  • Your app usage and device data

What is not deleted, and why

Your child's school record — attendance, grades, coursework and learning progress — belongs to your child's school, not to String. The school is responsible for that data and String stores it on the school's behalf. Deleting your account ends your access to it; it does not delete the school's record.

Retention

Your data is removed from our active systems within 30 days of identity confirmation, and from backups within 90 days. We retain only the minimum required by law.
