Terms of use and sale

Who publishes KIN

KIN is published at kinfamily.pet. A note from your profile reaches the person who runs it.

The app is hosted on Vercel. The database is hosted on Neon, in Frankfurt. Files you upload are stored with Vercel Blob.

What KIN is for

KIN keeps a household for a dog or a cat: the profile, care, documents, the calendar, lists, notes, memories and a little play.

KIN is not a vet, a trainer, an insurer or an emergency service. If a companion is ill, call a vet.

Your account

You join with an email and a password or with Google or Instagram when those are offered. Keep the password to yourself. The account is yours and you answer for what happens with it.

The household

People you invite can see what that household shares: the companion, the calendar, the lists, the documents and the notes the household can see.

When someone should leave, remove their access. A guest sees less than family. The role you give is the access they have.

What you store

Photos, documents and notes stay yours. You allow KIN to store them and show them to the household so the app can do its job. Upload only what you have the right to keep.

Health details are sensitive. Put them here only if you want this household to hold them. KIN does not sell your data.

Ask KIN

The assistant can be wrong. Read anything that touches health, travel or the law yourself before you trust it. KIN does not give veterinary or legal advice.

The market

The market shows products from other shops. The shop is the seller. Its price, delivery and terms apply once you leave KIN.

KIN may earn a commission when a visit or a purchase is tied back to KIN. A price on the card is the shop's price when KIN can read it.

A puppuccino

A puppuccino is a voluntary gift. The payment happens on Buy Me a Coffee, not in KIN. It does not buy a feature, a product or a subscription. KIN stays free.

Fair play

Do not try to break KIN, get into someone else's household or use the app to harm a person or an animal. KIN can close an account that does.

When you leave

You can sign out whenever you want. To remove the account, send a note from your profile. What you shared with a household stays with that household.

If these rules change

KIN can update these terms. This page shows the date. When they change, KIN asks you to accept them again before the household stays open.

Which law

French law applies. If one clause cannot be used, the others still stand.

Nothing is for sale here

KIN does not sell goods, a subscription or a paid feature in the app. There is no order, no invoice and no withdrawal from KIN itself, because KIN takes no payment for the app.

Shops you open from the market

A product card opens another shop. That shop sells the product, takes the payment and handles delivery, withdrawal and refunds under its own terms. KIN is not the seller and does not take that payment.

The gift

A puppuccino is not a sale. Buy Me a Coffee handles the payment under its own terms. KIN does not invoice the gift.

If that changes

If KIN ever offers something you pay KIN for, this page will say the price and the conditions before you pay. Until then, the offer is the free household described above.
