Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

Kinnavo is built around a simple principle: your contacts are yours. We designed the app so that we never see, collect, or store your personal data. This policy explains exactly how that works.

The short version

Kinnavo does not collect your data. There are no analytics, no tracking, no advertising, and no third-party services. Your contacts never leave your device except through your own private iCloud, which only you can access. We — the developer — have no access to your contacts or your Kinnavo data.

Your contacts stay on your device

Kinnavo reads your contacts from Apple Contacts to display them inside the app. This happens entirely on your device. Your contact data — names, phone numbers, emails, addresses, and other fields — is never copied to our servers, because we have no servers. We never transmit your contacts anywhere.

What Kinnavo stores, and where

Kinnavo stores the organization you create — your lists, tags, notes, language labels, and similar context. This is stored in two places:

  • On your device, including the link between Kinnavo and your Apple Contacts, your communication preferences, and your card selections.
  • In your private iCloud, through Apple's CloudKit. This syncs your lists and context across your own devices. It lives in your personal iCloud account, encrypted, and we have no access to it — not through any dashboard, not through any API.

The only piece of contact information Kinnavo saves is a snapshot of a contact's display name, kept so your lists still make sense if a contact changes. It is stored only in your private iCloud, and only you can see it.

No analytics, no tracking, no ads

Kinnavo contains no analytics tools, no crash reporting, no advertising identifiers, and no tracking of any kind. We do not use Firebase, Google Analytics, or any third-party SDK. The app makes no network requests to any server other than Apple's own iCloud and the App Store.

Sharing your card and lists

When you share your card or a list, Kinnavo generates a vCard or QR code directly on your device. Where that file goes next is entirely your choice, through the standard iOS share sheet. Nothing is sent to us.

Purchases

Professional Pack is purchased through Apple's App Store. Apple handles the transaction and any payment information. We never see or store your payment details.

Permissions

Kinnavo asks for access to your contacts so it can display and organize them. You can review or revoke this at any time in iOS Settings. The app may also open Apple Calendar, Maps, or messaging apps when you tap an action — these are launched by you and handled by their respective apps.

This website

The Kinnavo website is a simple informational page. It uses no analytics, no cookies for tracking, and no advertising. It does not collect any personal information, and there are no user accounts.

Children

Kinnavo is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect data from anyone — because it does not collect data at all.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will update this page and revise the date above.
