Kins Apps

Privacy Policy

Your data stays on your device. Period.

Last updated: December 2024

Introduction

Hi, I'm Brad Butner, the developer of Kins apps. I take your privacy seriously. These applications are designed with a "local-first" approach, meaning your data stays on your device by default. This privacy policy describes my commitment to protecting your privacy and explains how these applications handle your information.

Local-First Design

All Kins apps are built with a local-first architecture:

  • Your data is stored exclusively on your local device
  • I do not maintain any servers to store your personal data
  • No account creation is required to use any app
  • You have complete control over your data through built-in import/export features
Information I Do Not Collect

I want to be clear about what I don't do:

  • I do not store your personal data on any servers
  • I do not track your usage patterns
  • I do not collect analytics without your explicit consent
  • I do not share or sell any information to third parties
Internet Features (When Available)

Some applications may include optional internet features. For these features:

  • Internet connectivity is always optional and clearly indicated
  • No personal data is stored on servers, even when using internet features
  • Any data transmission is temporary and only for the specific feature's functionality
  • You can use all core features without internet connectivity
Data Storage and Security

Your data remains under your control:

  • All data is stored locally on your device
  • You can export your data at any time in standard formats
  • You can delete your data completely from your device through the application
  • I recommend regularly backing up your exported data
Your Rights

Since your data stays on your device, you have complete control:

  • Access your data directly on your device
  • Export your data in standard formats
  • Delete your data permanently from your device
  • Use the applications without sharing any information with me
Updates to Privacy Policy

If I update this privacy policy, it will be to reflect changes in the applications' features or to provide more clarity. Any changes will maintain my commitment to keeping your data local and under your control.
