Effective date: February 13, 2026

Kindwatch (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the kind.watch website and the Kindwatch Android application. This policy explains what data we collect, why, and how we protect it.

What We Collect

From the Website

• Email address — when you join the waitlist
• Optional message — anything you choose to share with us
• Basic analytics — page views, referrer (no cookies, no tracking pixels)

From the Android App

• Phone call metadata — caller number, duration, direction, timestamp. We do not record call audio.
• Notification metadata — app name, title, and body text of notifications. This is used to detect scam patterns.
• Check-in events — when your parent taps the check-in button or unlocks their phone
• Device info — phone model, battery level, uptime (for reliability monitoring)

What We Do NOT Collect

• Call audio or recordings
• Text message content (SMS body text)
• Photos, contacts, or browsing history
• Location data
• Data from any app other than what appears in the notification shade

How We Use Your Data

• Check-in monitoring — to notify caregivers when a check-in is missed
• Scam detection — to flag suspicious call and notification patterns
• Weekly reports — to generate AI-powered safety summaries for caregivers
• Product improvement — aggregated, anonymized usage patterns to make Kindwatch better

We will never sell your data. We will never share it with advertisers. We will never use your email for anything other than Kindwatch communications.

Who Can See Your Data

• You (the caregiver) can see reports and check-in history for devices you manage
• Your parent — the app shows a simple check-in screen; they do not see reports or analytics
• Kindwatch team — we may access data for debugging or support, under strict access controls
• No one else — we do not share data with third parties except as required by law

Data Storage & Security

• All data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest
• Backend hosted on AWS (US-West-2 region)
• Database hosted on Turso (SQLite edge database)
• We retain data for as long as your account is active. You can request deletion at any time.

Your Rights

You can request to:

• View all data we have about you
• Export your data in a machine-readable format
• Delete your account and all associated data

Email us at hello@kind.watch for any data requests.

Children’s Privacy

Kindwatch is designed for adults (caregivers and seniors). We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the product evolves. We’ll notify you by email if changes are material.
