How we handle your information.

Kinley is operated by Freckle Social Inc., a Delaware C corporation. Our mailing address is 495 Jackson St #1364, Oakland, CA 94607. You can reach us anytime at katie@joinfreckles.com.

When you join the waitlist

• Your email address, so we can let you know when Kinley is ready for you.
• Basic site analytics — pages visited, rough device and browser type, and approximate location derived from IP. We use this to understand whether the site is working.

When you text Kinley

• Your phone number, so we can send and receive messages.
• The content of your messages with Kinley, including anything you share about yourself and the people in your life.
• Conversation history, so Kinley can remember context across check-ins.

What we don't collect

We don't access your contact list, your text messages with other people, your camera, your microphone, or your location beyond rough country/region. We only collect what's needed for Kinley to function.

Kinley is designed to help you with your relationships, which means you may share information about friends, family, or others. This information is stored only in your conversation with Kinley and used solely to help her respond thoughtfully to you. It is not used to build separate profiles of those people, contact them, or share information about them with anyone else. If you'd like to remove information about a specific person, email us and we'll handle it.

We use the information we collect to:

• Operate Kinley and send the check-ins and replies you signed up for.
• Communicate with you about the service, including waitlist updates.
• Improve Kinley — fix issues, refine how she responds, and make her more helpful.
• Keep the service safe and prevent abuse.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share the content of your conversations for advertising.

We use a small set of trusted vendors to run Kinley. Each one only receives the data they need to do their job:

• Supabase — secure storage of account data and conversation history.
• Twilio — SMS and iMessage delivery.
• OpenAI — currently used for the AI processing that powers Kinley's replies. We may switch providers (including to Anthropic) as the service evolves; if we do, message content will be processed by the new provider under similar privacy commitments.

Data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest in our database. Access to user data is restricted to authorized Freckle Social Inc. personnel. If we ever detect unauthorized access, we'll notify affected users.

By texting Kinley at our published phone number, you expressly consent to receive recurring SMS messages from Freckle Social Inc. at the mobile number you used to text us. Consent is not a condition of any purchase. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to unsubscribe at any time. Reply HELP for help.

When you text Kinley, your phone number and the content of your messages are stored so the service can function. A few things to know:

• Every SMS interaction is logged for the lifetime of your account, so Kinley can maintain context.
• You can opt out at any time by replying STOP to any Kinley message. Reply HELP for help.
• You can request deletion of your phone number, messages, and conversation history by emailing katie@joinfreckles.com. We'll process the request within 30 days.
• Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.

Regardless of where you live, you can ask us to show you the information we hold about you, correct it, or delete it. Email katie@joinfreckles.com and we'll handle it.

If you live in California, the CCPA gives you the right to know what personal information we collect, request that we delete it, and not be discriminated against for exercising those rights. We do not sell personal information. To exercise any of these rights, email katie@joinfreckles.com.

Kinley is built for the US, but if you're in the EU or UK we still respect the rights GDPR gives you: access, correction, erasure, portability, restriction, and the right to object. Our legal basis for processing is your consent (when you sign up or text Kinley) and our legitimate interest in operating the service. Email us to exercise any of these rights.

We keep your information for as long as your account is active. If you ask us to delete it, we'll do so within 30 days. If an account is dormant for 24 months — no messages, no logins — we may delete it on our own and let you know first if we still have a way to reach you.

Kinley is not designed for, marketed to, or intended for anyone under 18. We don't knowingly collect information from minors. If you believe a minor has signed up, please email us and we'll remove their data.

If we make material changes to this policy, we'll update the effective date at the top and let you know — by email if we have yours, and by a notice on this page. Continuing to use Kinley after a change means you accept the updated policy.
