Kinly is a service designed to help adults reflect on and strengthen their relationships with their parents through personalized suggestions and optional feedback. This Privacy Policy explains how personal information may be handled when you visit our website, complete a reflection, create an account, or use Kinly.
1. Who is responsible for your information
Kinly is the public-facing name of the service. For privacy questions or requests, please use the Contact page at https://kinly.me/contact/.
2. Information we collect
- Information you provide: your answers to the relationship reflection, selected goals, chosen actions, feedback, and messages you send through our contact form.
- Account information: information needed to create, authenticate, and maintain an account, such as an email address, if account creation is enabled.
- Usage and technical information: information needed to operate and protect the website and app, such as device/browser information, diagnostics, and security logs, depending on the services configured.
- Purchase information: if subscriptions become available, the payment provider may handle checkout and payment details. Kinly may receive subscription status, transaction references, and other information needed to manage access and support; we do not intend to store complete card details.
- Optional Relationship Memory: planned for a later release and not active in the initial MVP. If introduced, saving memories and using them for recommendations will require distinct user choices and appropriate controls.
3. How we use information
We use information to provide your Connection Map and Connection Plan, recommend a first action, adapt future suggestions to your chosen feedback, preserve your progress when you choose to create an account, operate and secure the service, respond to requests, and administer subscriptions if enabled. We do not contact your parent on your behalf.
4. Legal grounds
Where applicable privacy law requires a legal basis, our processing may rely on providing a service you request, our legitimate interests in security and service improvement where permitted, compliance with legal obligations, or your consent for optional processing. The appropriate basis depends on the specific processing activity.
5. Sharing and service providers
We may share limited information with providers who support hosting, authentication, analytics (if enabled), customer support, and payments (if enabled), subject to appropriate agreements. We may also disclose information when legally required or to protect rights and security. We do not sell personal information to advertisers.
6. Retention and security
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described here, including account operation, security, legal obligations, and resolving disputes. We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.
7. Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, export, or restrict the use of your information, object to certain processing, or withdraw consent. Contact us using https://kinly.me/contact/. You may skip optional feedback. If Relationship Memory is introduced, its permissions and management controls will be separate from subscription status.
8. International transfers
Our service providers may process information in countries other than your own. Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, we will use appropriate mechanisms.
9. Cookies and analytics
Kinly may use essential technologies needed for security and operation. Optional analytics or marketing technologies, if introduced, will be disclosed and managed in accordance with applicable consent requirements.
10. Age, changes, and contact
Kinly is intended for adults. We may update this policy and will post the updated version with a revised date. Questions or privacy requests can be submitted through https://kinly.me/contact/.
