To request account deletion, fill out the form at kolo.xyz/personal-data-deletion.

After submitting, our support team will contact you via email within 2 business days to confirm your request.


Processing Time

Once you submit a deletion request:

  • Standard processing time: up to 30 days

  • In some cases, this may be extended up to 90 days

You'll receive a confirmation email once your request is being processed, and another when it's complete.


What Happens to Your Data?

Important: The outcome depends on your verification status.

If you haven't completed verification:

  • All your personal data will be fully removed from our systems

If you've completed verification (KYC):

  • Due to EU regulations (GDPR Article 17(3)(b) and AML/CTF laws), we are legally required to retain certain data

  • Client and transaction records must be kept for at least 8 years after your relationship with Kolo ends

  • Your data will be anonymized and archived — the rest will be removed from active systems

If you believe your data protection rights aren't being respected, you can file a complaint with your local data protection authority.


What Gets Deactivated?

Once your account is deleted:

  • ✅ Your Kolo account is deactivated

  • ✅ All cards are blocked and closed

  • ✅ Deposit addresses are deprecated

  • ✅ Access to the app is removed


Before You Delete

Make sure to withdraw all your funds before requesting deletion. If you have a remaining balance, you'll need to withdraw it first.


Can I Create a New Account Later?

Yes. If you decide to return to Kolo in the future, you can sign up again and go through the verification process as a new user.
