Privacy
Kinforge is built for families, which means we hold information about people who cannot consent for themselves. This page says plainly what we collect, what we do with it, and what we will never do.
Effective August 27, 2026. This is our current policy and it applies today. It is under review by counsel alongside the rest of the Kinforge suite; we will post any changes here before general availability.
Kinforge Family is a suite of family applications operated by Kinforge LLC. This policy covers this website and the Kinforge apps that share one Kinforge account — Kinforge Home, Gather, Legacy, Homeschool, and Care.
Some apps in the suite are still being built. When a new app joins, it inherits this policy unless we say otherwise on that app’s own pages.
We collect what the product needs to work, and we try not to collect more.
Card numbers are handled by our payment processor and are never stored on Kinforge servers.
Children
This is the part of the policy we care most about getting right, so we have written it as specific mechanisms rather than a promise to be careful.
Children do not sign themselves up for Kinforge. A child’s account is created from inside a household by a parent or guardian, and an invitation is only valid for a limited time before it expires.
A guardian can view a child’s account, change what it can reach, and delete it. Removing a child from a household removes their access with it.
We do not show advertising to anyone in Kinforge, and we do not build advertising or behavioural profiles from anyone’s activity — least of all a child’s. We do not sell or rent personal information to anyone.
Kinforge has no public profiles, no follower graph, and no discovery feed. A child’s information is visible to their household, and to no one else, unless a guardian shares it deliberately.
If you believe a child’s information reached us without a guardian’s involvement, tell us and we will delete it and confirm back to you.
Product analytics are kept deliberately minimal. We look at how features are used in aggregate; we do not read your family’s content to profile you, and we do not use it to train models.
We use a small number of service providers to operate Kinforge. Each one is bound by contract to handle your information only on our instructions:
We will name our current providers if you ask. Contact us and we will send you the list.
We do not sell personal information. We do not share it with advertisers or data brokers. We will disclose information if the law requires it, and we will tell you when we are permitted to.
You can view and edit your household’s information inside the apps.
You can ask for a copy of your household’s data in a portable format, and we will send it to you.
You can ask us to delete your account and your household’s data. We will do it, and we will confirm when it is done.
If you stop paying, we do not delete your family’s history as a penalty. See the Terms for how pausing and cancelling work.
We keep your household’s information while your account is open. After you ask us to delete it, we remove it from our live systems promptly and from routine backups as those backups age out. We keep billing records for as long as tax and accounting rules require.
Information is encrypted in transit and at rest. Access inside a household is scoped by role, so a child account cannot reach what a guardian can. Access by our own staff is limited to the people who need it to run the service.
No service can promise perfect security. If a breach affects your information, we will tell you and say what happened.
When we change this policy we will update the effective date above. If a change meaningfully affects how we handle your information, we will tell you directly rather than relying on you to notice.
Questions about this policy, or a request about your household’s data? Get in touch and a person will answer you.
