Privacy policy

Last updated: 1 October 2026

This is a translation for your convenience; the French version prevails.

In short: Kinbell only keeps what your family needs to share its organisation. No ads, no selling of data, no tracking.

1. Who is responsible for your data?

Yoann Bournot, publisher of the Kinbell app (see the legal notice).
Contact: contact@kinbell.fr

2. What data?

• Your family: the first name and colour chosen for each member, their role (owner, parent, child) and, if you provide it, their date of birth (optional, for birthdays).
• What you add: events, reminders and “Brain dump” notes.
• A technical account identifier, created automatically to link your phone to your family. It is not linked to your name or your phone number.
• Your suggestions, if you send any from the app, along with the app version and phone type.
• Your messages, if you write to us at contact@kinbell.fr.

Kinbell does not collect your phone number: an invitation is a text message you send yourself from your phone. Kinbell does not access your contacts, your location or your photos. Your wake-up time and notification settings stay on your phone.

3. Why, and on what legal basis?

• To run the app (displaying and sharing the family calendar, reminders, the morning notification): this is necessary for the service you use (performance of a contract).
• To answer your messages and improve the app thanks to your suggestions: our legitimate interest in replying to you and making Kinbell better.

No data is used for advertising or profiling, and none is sold.

4. Who can see it?

Only the members of your family can see your family's items. Permissions are checked by the server: a child can only change what they created.

We use technical service providers, who only use your data to provide this service to us:

• Supabase, Inc. – database and app sign-in, with servers located in the European Union;
• OVHcloud (France) – domain name and contact@kinbell.fr email;
• Netlify, Inc. (United States) – hosting of the kinbell.fr website (the website holds no family data);
• Apple and Google – app distribution and payment, under their own policies.

5. For how long?

• Your family's data is kept for as long as you use Kinbell. You can delete everything at any time from the app (Family > “Delete my account and my data”) or by writing to us; deletion is carried out within 30 days of your request at the latest.
• A ticked reminder disappears from the app the next day.
• Suggestions and emails are kept for 3 years at most.

6. Security

Exchanges between the app and the server are encrypted (HTTPS). Access to each family's data is restricted to its members by security rules enforced directly in the database.

7. Your rights

You can at any time access your data, correct it, delete it, request a copy or object to its use, by writing to contact@kinbell.fr. We reply within one month at most.

If you believe your rights are not being respected, you can lodge a complaint with the CNIL, the French data protection authority (cnil.fr), or with the authority of your country.

8. Children

A child can be part of the family, added and managed by a parent. Kinbell asks for no data about them other than a first name, a colour and, if the parent wishes, a date of birth.

9. This website

The kinbell.fr website uses no cookies and no audience measurement tools. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts.

10. Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top of the page is updated, and we let you know in the app in case of a significant change.
