Effective Date: 1 June 2024
Welcome to Kindi’s! Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you use our non-fiction book summary app, Kindi’s ("App").
By using Kindi’s, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App. We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, and we encourage you to review it periodically. Continued use of the App after any changes means you accept those updates.
For more details about how our App works, please review our Terms of Use.
Kindi’s does not collect personal information such as your name or email unless you choose to sign up for an account (which is optional). The data we collect is limited to the following:
1. User Preferences & Event Data (For Personalization & Functionality)
The App collects content-related user preferences to enhance personalization and functionality.
Event data is collected to improve the App’s experience, including:
How much time a user spends on different sections of the App.
Which users have subscribed or not.
Interaction patterns within the App (e.g., frequently accessed book categories).
2. Device and Technical Information (For Performance & Bug Fixes)
Type of device.
Operating system version.
Unique device identifiers (e.g., device ID).
Crash logs and bug reports.
This data is used strictly for functionality purposes such as performance tracking, debugging, and resolving technical issues.
3. Optional Account Information (If User Signs Up)
If a user chooses to sign up, the App stores:
Email and name (to maintain a personalized experience across devices).
User preferences and content-related data (so the user’s personalized content is available when switching devices).
Even when a user signs up, the collected event data is not linked to their name and remains independent.
Kindi’s integrates third-party services that may collect data when users interact with the App:
Google Play Services – Collects data related to subscriptions and payments.
RevenueCat – May collect data related to purchase behavior (e.g., subscription patterns).
Analytics Services (Google Analytics, Firebase, etc.) – Collect user behavior data (e.g., app engagement).
Ad Services (Google AdMob, etc.) – If advertisements are used in the App, AdMob or similar services may collect relevant usage data.
We do not control data collected by these third parties, and users should review their respective privacy policies.
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
To improve functionality and user experience (UX).
To personalize book recommendations and App content.
To debug and fix technical issues based on crash reports and usage patterns.
To analyze App performance and make business decisions for improvements.
To track subscription and purchase trends for better service optimization.
We do not use your data for any commercial resale or share it with unauthorized third parties.
The data we collect is stored securely on reliable servers. Specifically:
Event data (e.g., user activity logs, preferences) is stored temporarily and is deleted within 30 days unless needed for longer durations.
Account-related data (if users sign up) is securely stored on Google Firebase and AWS S3 servers, which comply with industry security standards.
User data is never shared with unauthorized entities.
If a user requests account deletion, their stored data is permanently removed from our systems.
If you have concerns about data security or would like your data removed, please email us at kindisapp@gmail.com.
Since Kindi’s integrates external services, some user data may be collected by:
Google Play Billing – Handles payments and subscriptions, and may collect payment-related data.
RevenueCat – Tracks subscription and purchase behavior only.
Google Analytics & Firebase – Collects user engagement data (e.g., session length, frequently visited sections).
AdMob (if applicable) – May collect advertising-related data to deliver relevant ads.
These services operate under their own privacy policies, and we encourage users to review them.
Users have the following rights regarding their data:
Right to Access Data: Users can request a summary of their data by emailing kindisapp@gmail.com.
Right to Request Deletion: Users can ask for their data (if stored) to be deleted at any time by emailing us.
Right to Opt-Out of Tracking: Users can manage data tracking settings via their device settings or disable analytics-based tracking where possible.
Kindi’s does not use traditional cookies but relies on tracking tools such as:
Google Analytics and Firebase for app usage analytics.
RevenueCat for purchase behavior tracking.
AdMob (if applicable) for ad targeting based on usage patterns.
These tools help improve user experience but do not collect personal data such as emails or names.
Users can opt-out of tracking by adjusting their device’s privacy settings.
We do not store user data outside of secure cloud storage (Firebase, AWS S3).
Most stored data relates to app content and not user information.
If data needs to be transferred (e.g., for backups), industry-standard encryption and security measures are used.
The App is not intended for children under 16 years old (or as required by local laws).
We do not knowingly collect data from minors.
If a parent or guardian believes their child’s data has been collected, they may contact kindisapp@gmail.com to request deletion.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Users are responsible for checking this page regularly for any changes. The latest version of this Privacy Policy will always be available within the App.
Your continued use of Kindi’s after updates signifies your acceptance of any changes.
