Privacy Policy
The short version
- Your assistant runs in its own private space, separate from other customers.
- We use your information only to provide the features you ask for. We never sell it, never use it for ads, and never use it to train AI models.
- Connecting your Google account is optional, and you can disconnect at any time.
- Some information is sent to the service providers listed below so Kindred can write replies, speak, and search the web.
1. Who we are
Kindred Personal Assistant ("Kindred", "we", "us") is operated by Kindred Agentics LLC, based in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. You can reach us at ask@kindredagentics.com.
2. Information we collect
- Account information: your name, email address, and sign-in details when you request access or create an account.
- What you share with your assistant: your messages, voice recordings during spoken conversations, notes, files you upload, and the things your assistant learns about you over time, such as your preferences, people, and goals.
- Assistant settings: the name, avatar, and voice you choose for your assistant.
- Google user data: only if you choose to connect your Google account. See section 3.
- Technical information: basic server logs, such as the time of a request and error details, used to keep the service running and secure.
3. Google user data
Connecting your Google account is optional. When you connect, Google shows you the permissions Kindred is requesting, and you decide whether to approve them. Kindred accesses Google user data only to provide features you request in the app.
| Google service | What Kindred accesses and why |
|---|---|
| Gmail | Reads and searches your messages so it can summarize threads, find information, and draft replies. Sends email only when you ask it to. |
| Google Calendar | Reads your events to help plan your day, and creates, updates, or deletes events when you ask. |
| Google Drive | Finds and opens files you ask about so it can summarize or organize them. |
| Google Docs | Reads documents you point it to, and creates or edits documents when you ask. |
| Google Sheets | Reads spreadsheets you point it to, and creates or edits spreadsheets when you ask. |
| Google Contacts | Looks up people you mention so it can find contact details or recall who someone is. |
| Google Tasks | Reads, adds, updates, and completes your tasks when you ask. |
Kindred acts on your Google data when you ask it to, or when you set up a reminder or recurring task that needs it, such as a morning summary of your calendar.
4. How we use information
We use your information only to:
- Provide the assistant features you ask for, including replies, reminders, notes, voice, and actions in connected accounts.
- Let your assistant remember context, so it can be more helpful over time.
- Keep the service secure, fix problems, and respond to your support requests.
- Send you important messages about your account or the service.
We do not sell your information. We do not use it, or share it, for advertising, retargeting, or interest-based ads. We do not share it with data brokers or information resellers. We do not use it to determine credit-worthiness or for lending purposes. Kindred does not use your information, including Google user data, to train or improve AI models.
5. Limited Use of Google data
Kindred's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
In practice this means we use Google user data only to provide and improve the user-facing features of Kindred that you can see and use, we transfer it to others only as needed to provide those features, for security, or to comply with law, and we never use it for advertising or sell it.
6. Storage and retention
- Each user's assistant runs in a separate, isolated private space (a container) on a shared server operated by Kindred and hosted by a cloud hosting provider. Your conversations, notes, memory, and files are kept in that space.
- Google sign-in tokens are stored as files on that server that can be read only by the service account that runs Kindred.
- Nightly backups are kept on the same server. We keep 14 daily, 8 weekly, and 6 monthly backup copies, and older copies are deleted automatically.
- We keep your account information for as long as your account is open. When you close your account or ask us to delete your data, we follow the process in section 10.
7. Sharing and service providers
We share information only with service providers that help us run Kindred, and only as needed to deliver what you ask for:
- AI model provider (DeepSeek): to write your assistant's replies, the content of your conversation is sent to the AI model provider. If information from your Google account is part of a conversation, that information is sent too.
- Speech provider (ElevenLabs): when you use voice, spoken replies are created by our speech provider, and your voice may be converted to text by it. A spoken reply can include information from your connected accounts.
- Web search provider (Tavily): when your assistant looks something up on the web, the search request is sent to our search provider.
- Hosting providers: our servers are hosted by a cloud hosting provider, and this website and its waitlist are hosted by Vercel.
Each provider handles the information it receives under its own terms and privacy policy. We may also disclose information if the law requires it, to protect the safety and security of our users and service, or as part of a merger or sale of the business, in which case this policy will continue to apply to your information.
8. Human access
Kindred's team does not read your conversations, files, or Google user data. We access it only when:
- you ask us for help and agree to let us look,
- it is necessary to investigate a security issue or fix a technical problem, or
- the law requires it.
Our server sends an alert when unexpected access occurs, so we can investigate it.
9. Security
We protect your information with isolated containers for each user, restricted access to stored sign-in tokens, alerts for unexpected access, and HTTPS connections to this website and the app. No system is perfectly secure, and we will notify you as required by law if a breach affects your information.
10. Your choices
- Disconnect Google in the app. This revokes Kindred's access with Google.
- Revoke access from Google. You can also remove Kindred at any time from your Google account permissions page.
- Request a copy, correction, or deletion. Email ask@kindredagentics.com from the address on your account. We respond within 30 days. When we delete your data, it is removed from your assistant right away, and copies in backups expire on the schedule in section 6, after which they are gone permanently.
- Change your assistant. You can change your assistant's name, avatar, and voice at any time.
11. Waitlist
If you join the waitlist on this website, we collect your first name, email address, and your optional answer about what you would hand off first. We store it with our website host, Vercel, and use it only to contact you about the Kindred beta. Email ask@kindredagentics.com to be removed at any time.
12. Children
Kindred is intended for adults 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you think a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.
13. Changes to this policy
We post updates on this page and change the effective date at the top. If we change how we use Google user data, we will ask for your consent before the new use.
