Privacy at Kindred

No personal data, by design.

You came here with things that are hard to say out loud. Protecting them isn't a policy for us — it's the product.

What stays on your device

Your check-in answers and how you said you're feeling
Tools and articles you save to My Kindred
What you type into exercises like Brain Dump — written, sorted, and gone
Which feelings, topics, and life situations you explore

None of this is transmitted to Kindred. Close the page and it's still yours alone.

What we count — anonymously

To make Kindred better, we count how often buttons are pressed: how many people chose "I'm looking for therapy," how many started a breathing tool, how many therapists reached checkout. These are plain totals with a strict allow-list of non-personal details (like which membership plan).

No names, emails, or profile text in analytics — ever
No user IDs, session IDs, or IP addresses stored
No tracking you across the web, no ad pixels, no data sales
No check-in answers or exercise content, in any form

Therapist accounts

Therapists who join Kindred provide professional profile information (name, credentials, license) that is, by its nature, public-facing — it's shown to clients. Billing runs on the web through our payment processor; Kindred staff dashboards show aggregate totals (signups, plan mix), not personal records.

This site is an early prototype. Before Kindred handles real accounts at scale, this page will grow into a full legal privacy policy — but the principle above is the constraint the product is being built around, not a promise added after.

Accessibility

Feeling understood includes being able to use the site. Kindred is built with:

Semantic headings, labeled controls, and ARIA roles for screen readers
Keyboard access for interactive flows, with visible focus states
Color contrast tuned against our cream backgrounds, and meaning never carried by color alone
Readable type at comfortable sizes, and layouts that reflow to any screen

We won't always get it right. If anything on Kindred is hard for you to use — a control you can't reach, text you can't read, motion that bothers you — tell us at [email protected] and we'll fix it with care and priority.
