Users migrating to Qustodio from Family Zone may contact you for help closing or canceling their Family Zone account during the migration process. While they should be able to find this information in your school's Online Safety Hub, we've included it here for your easy reference. You can also tell users to contact the Family Zone support team directly.
Canceling a Family Zone account is an easy process, but it is important that users do each of the steps in order without skipping ahead. If they don’t, they may not be able to uninstall Family Zone Connect from their children's devices, or start their new Qustodio subscription.
What do they need to do?
- If they have an Insights subscription, they should follow the instructions for the type of device they use to manage their children’s devices (Android, Apple or Web Browser(Portal).
- If they have a Premium subscription and pay through Google Play, they should follow the instructions for Android devices.
- If they have a Premium subscription and pay through the Apple Store, they should follow the instructions for Apple devices.
- If they purchased a Premium subscription and don’t pay for it using either Google Play or the Apple Store, or purchased it through a website, they should follow the instructions for Web Browser (Portal).
How do I tell if a user has a Premium or Insights subscription?
If they pay a monthly or annual subscription fee for Family Zone Connect, they have a Premium subscription. If they do not pay a subscription fee, they have an Insights subscription.
Another way to tell is to instruct the user to open the Connect app or WebPortal, sign in as a parent, and then select Settings > Manage Subscription. If they see an option to Upgrade Family Zone to Premium, they have an Insights subscription. If they see details of an active paid subscription, they have a Premium subscription.
