Kinn is a friendship platform currently in development. This Privacy Policy explains how personal information is collected and used when you visit the Kinn website or join the Kinn waitlist.
Kinn is currently preparing for launch, and the services described in this Privacy Policy may evolve as the platform develops. When additional features become available, this Privacy Policy may be updated accordingly.
Kinn is currently being developed and operated prior to the creation of a separate legal entity.
For questions about privacy or the handling of your personal data, you can contact Kinn at:
Email: joinkinn.app@gmail.com
Once Kinn is formally established as a legal entity, this section will be updated with the applicable legal entity name and registered contact details.
Kinn is intended for people aged 18 and over.
By joining the Kinn waitlist, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If we become aware that information belonging to someone under 18 has been submitted, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
When you join the Kinn waitlist, we may collect:
We may also collect limited technical information necessary for the security and functioning of the website, such as information automatically provided by your browser or device.
At this stage, the Kinn waitlist does not require you to provide:
These types of information may become relevant if and when additional Kinn services are launched. If that happens, this Privacy Policy will be updated.
We use the information collected through the waitlist to:
We do not use your information for purposes unrelated to the operation and development of Kinn without providing appropriate information or obtaining consent where required.
Under the GDPR, we rely on the following legal bases, depending on the specific processing activity:
Consent
Where you choose to receive Kinn updates by email, we process your email address on the basis of your consent.
You can withdraw your consent at any time.
Legitimate interests
We may process limited information where this is necessary for legitimate interests such as maintaining the security of the website, preventing misuse, understanding interest in Kinn and developing the service, provided that these interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.
Legal obligations
We may process information where this is necessary to comply with a legal obligation applicable to us.
Where another legal basis is required for a particular processing activity, we will identify it when appropriate.
No.
Kinn does not sell your personal information.
We may use trusted service providers that help us operate the website and waitlist, such as hosting, database, email, security and technical service providers.
These providers may only process personal information as necessary to provide services to Kinn and subject to appropriate contractual and legal protections.
Your information may be accessible to:
We only share information where there is an appropriate legal basis for doing so.
When you join the waitlist, you can choose whether you want to receive Kinn updates by email.
This option is not selected by default.
If you give consent to receive marketing or promotional communications, you can withdraw that consent at any time by using the unsubscribe option included in our emails or by contacting us at joinkinn.app@gmail.com.
Withdrawing marketing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before your withdrawal.
We may still send essential administrative or service-related communications where necessary, such as information relating to your waitlist registration.
We keep waitlist information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
If you have joined the waitlist, we may retain your information while Kinn is being developed and for a reasonable period after launch to manage the transition from the waitlist to the Kinn service.
If you have consented to receive marketing communications, we will generally retain your email address for that purpose until you withdraw your consent or the information is otherwise no longer necessary.
We may retain certain information for longer where this is necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes or establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Some service providers we use may process personal information outside the European Economic Area (EEA).
Where personal information is transferred outside the EEA, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and that appropriate safeguards are in place where required.
These safeguards may include an adequacy decision by the European Commission or appropriate contractual protections, such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
However, no website or online service can guarantee absolute security.
If we become aware of a personal data breach that requires notification under applicable law, we will take the appropriate steps required by law.
Under the GDPR, you may have the right to:
To exercise your rights, contact us at:
We may need to verify your identity before responding to a request.
Requests to exercise your rights are generally free of charge. We will respond within the time period required by applicable law.
If you believe that your personal data has been processed in a way that violates applicable data protection law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection authority.
For Kinn, the relevant supervisory authority in Portugal is:
Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados (CNPD)
Av. D. Carlos I, 134, 1.º
1200-651 Lisboa
Portugal
Email: geral@cnpd.pt
The CNPD is Portugal's supervisory authority for data protection.
You may contact the CNPD directly through its official channels if you believe your rights have not been properly respected.

Where additional cookies or technologies are used for analytics, advertising or other purposes that require consent under applicable law, we will provide the appropriate information and consent mechanism.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings.
The Kinn website may contain links to third-party websites or services.
Kinn is not responsible for the privacy practices, content or security of third-party websites.
We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any third-party service you visit.
As Kinn develops, this Privacy Policy may need to change.
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect:
When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
If a change is significant, we will provide additional notice where required by law.
