Last updated: January 2025

Introduction

Welcome to Kindred ("we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application. Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the application.

Information We Collect

We do not collect any personal data. Kindred is designed with privacy as a core principle. All your data remains on your device and is never transmitted to our servers.

Local Data Storage

All information you add to Kindred is stored locally on your device, including:

• Family member information (names, birthdays, contact details)
• Photos and notes about family members
• Events and reminders
• Relationship connections
• Tags and personal notes

iCloud Sync (PRO Feature)

When you enable iCloud sync (PRO feature), your data is stored in your personal iCloud account. We do not have access to this data, and it is subject to Apple's iCloud privacy policies. This is entirely optional and controlled by you.

How We Use Your Information

Since we do not collect any personal data, we have no information to use. The app functions entirely with data stored locally on your device. When you use iCloud sync (PRO feature), your data is handled by Apple's iCloud service according to their privacy policies.

Data Security

Your data is protected through:

• AES-256 encryption for all sensitive data stored locally
• Face ID/Touch ID protection for app access
• iOS Keychain integration for secure storage
• No data transmission to external servers

Data Sharing

We do not share any data because we do not collect any data. Your information remains entirely on your device unless you choose to use iCloud sync (PRO feature), in which case it's handled by Apple's iCloud service.

iCloud Integration

When you use iCloud sync:

• Your data is stored in your personal iCloud account
• Data is encrypted by Apple's iCloud security
• You can disable iCloud sync at any time
• We do not have access to your iCloud data

Children's Privacy

Our app is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you become aware that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access your personal information
• Correct inaccurate information
• Delete your account and data
