1. Information We Collect
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you register for the app, express an interest in obtaining information about us or our products, participate in activities on the app, or otherwise contact us. We do not collect precise GPS location data, access your contacts, calendar, microphone, health data, or financial data beyond what is processed by our third-party subscription managers.
The personal information we collect depends on the context of your interactions with us and the app. It includes:
| Category | Specific Data Collected | Source | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Identity | Email, password (hashed), user ID | Sign-up form | Authentication |
| Profile | Display name, bio, location (free-text city), avatar image, cover image | User input and uploads | Profile display |
| Membership | Subscription tier, purchase history, subscription status | Apple/Google IAP via RevenueCat | Tier gating, access control |
| User-Generated Text | Community story content, journey reflection text, group messages, chat messages | User input | Core product features |
| User-Generated Media | Photos and videos uploaded for community stories or journey prompt completions | Camera roll / camera | Sharing with other members |
| Activity | Journeys started/completed, prompt completions with reflections, places saved, places reacted to (impacted/inspired/visited), groups joined, events RSVP’d to | App usage | Personalization, progress tracking, social features |
| Push Tokens | Expo/APNs/FCM device push token | Device (with permission) | Sending push notifications |
| Notification Preferences | Enabled/disabled toggle | User setting | Respecting user preference |
| Sharing Preferences | ”Share to journey feed” toggle | User setting | Whether reflections are visible to cohort |
| Privacy Preferences | ”Public profile” toggle | User setting | Whether other users can view profile |
| Chat Metadata | Display name, avatar URL, user ID | Auto on auth | Chat functionality |
| Crash & Diagnostic Data | Stack traces, breadcrumbs, device model, OS version (no PII) | App runtime | Debugging |

Note: Google Maps SDK is used to render maps within the app. Per Google’s terms, the SDK may receive your device IP address and device identifiers when it loads map tiles. Google’s privacy practices apply to that interaction. The kinnctd app itself does not request foreground or background GPS permission.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect or receive to:
- Facilitate account creation and logon processes.
- Manage user accounts and provide our core services (e.g., discovery library, journeys, community browsing, chat).
- Process your subscriptions and payments.
- Send you administrative information, such as updates to our terms, conditions, and policies.
- Deliver targeted push notifications (if enabled).
- Respond to user inquiries and offer support.
- Monitor and analyze usage and trends to improve your experience.
- Enforce our terms, conditions, and policies for business purposes, legal reasons, and contractual obligations.
We do not sell your personal data, share it with advertisers, or use it for advertising purposes.
3. Third-Party Processors
We may share your data with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents (“sub-processors”) who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work.
| Processor | Purpose | Data Shared |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase, Inc. | Database, authentication, storage, serverless functions | All data in Section 1 except chat messages and IAP transactions |

You can review the privacy policies of these third parties on their respective websites.
4. User Rights and Choices
We provide you with the ability to manage your personal data directly within the app:
- Access: You can view your own data via the Profile and Settings screens.
- Edit: You can edit your display name, bio, location, avatar, cover image, and notification/sharing/privacy preferences via Settings → Edit Profile.
- Data Portability / Export: You can request an export of your personal data by emailing us at info@plantbuildrestore.com.
- Opt-out of Communications: We do not send marketing communications. You can toggle push notifications on or off in Settings.
5. Data Retention and Account Deletion
You may permanently delete your kinnctd account and all associated personal data at any time by going to Settings → Danger Zone → Delete Account inside the app.
Deletion removes your profile, journey progress, prompt completions, saved items, community stories, group memberships, event RSVPs, and content reactions, and frees your email address for future re-registration. Deletion is processed immediately and is irreversible. Backups containing your data are purged within 30 days. Content that other users have already saved or copied may persist in their accounts.
For inactive accounts, data is kept until account deletion or 30 days after the last activity.
6. Children’s Privacy
The kinnctd application is intended for users who are 17 years of age and older. We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 17 years of age. If we learn that personal information from users less than 17 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records.
