What we collect

Kinfolk collects the account details you provide, device information needed to run the app, and location data when you choose to share it. Location is not shared with your connections unless you turn sharing on or send a ping.

How we use it

We use this information to show your map, deliver pings and check-ins, power safe-home timers, support event hubs, and keep the service secure. We do not sell your personal data.

Your controls

You can pause sharing, use ghost mode, limit people to ping-only access, or remove someone from a circle at any time. Temporary sharing ends when the window you set expires.

Contact

Questions about privacy can be sent through the channels listed on our social profiles, or by emailing the address we publish in the app store listing when available.
