Privacy policy
Last updated: June 2026
Kin is built on the principle that your family's data belongs to your family. This policy explains what we collect, why, and your rights.
What we collect
We collect the minimum necessary to run the service: account credentials (name, email, hashed password), circle membership data (roles, permissions, tasks, routines), device tokens for push notifications, and anonymous usage metrics (no personal identifiers). We do not collect advertising identifiers, browsing history, or any data unrelated to the service.
How we use it
Your data is used solely to provide the Kin service: routing tasks, sending notifications, generating routines, and enforcing permissions. We do not sell, share, or license your data to third parties for advertising or any other commercial purpose.
Data retention & deletion
You can request a full export of your circle's data at any time from the app. You may also request deletion; we will anonymize or delete your personal data within 30 days. When a member is removed from a circle, their personal identifiers are replaced with "Deleted Member" in historical records to preserve audit trails without retaining personal data.
Minors
Kin supports family circles that include children. Children's accounts are managed by the circle owner (a parent or guardian). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children outside of the family circle context, and we do not use children's data for any commercial purpose.
Your GDPR rights
If you are in the European Economic Area, you have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data. You also have the right to object to processing and to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. To exercise these rights, email us at [email protected].
Cookies
The web app uses only strictly necessary session cookies (no tracking or advertising cookies). The mobile app does not use cookies.
Changes to this policy
We will notify you of material changes via in-app notification at least 30 days before they take effect.
