3. How we store and secure data

Captured content is encrypted in-transit and at-rest inside Internet Computer canisters. Because canisters are replicated across nodes world-wide, canisters cannot be “deleted” in the traditional sense. If you delete an item, we remove the data from the smart contract canisters, but the canisters themselves may continue to exist.

4. How long we keep data

Account data persists until you delete your account and remove your data. Captured content may persists indefinitely on-chain unless you press delete in the user interface and manually remove your data from your canisters.

5. Sharing and disclosure

We do not sell personal data. We share data only with:

  • Cloud or node providers that run ICP replicas (to operate the Service);
  • Service vendors under confidentiality agreements (e.g., email provider);
  • Law-enforcement when legally required.

6. International transfers

Data stored on ICP nodes may reside outside your country. We rely on GDPR Art. 49(1)(b) (contract performance) for EU transfers.

7. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to: access, correct, export, delete, or object to processing of your data. To exercise a right, message https://x.com/kinic_app. If deletion is impossible due to blockchain immutability, we will explain why and offer logical deletion.

8. Cookies and similar tech

The Kinic website uses only essential cookies. The browser extension does not set third-party cookies.

9. Children

Kinic is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from them.

10. Changes to this Policy

We will post any privacy changes on this page and update the “Last updated” date. Material changes take effect 30 days after posting.
