Privacy Policy

Last Updated: December 28, 2025

Sydney Digitals Pty Ltd ("we," "our," or "us") operates the Kinlyr mobile application. This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service.

Key Summary: We do not sell your location data. We process your data solely to provide safety services, alert your contacts during emergencies, and secure evidence on your behalf.

1. Data We Collect

1.1 Location Data (Background & Foreground)

To provide core features such as "Safe Journey," "Geofencing," and "SOS Alerts," Kinlyr requires access to your device's location. We collect this data:

When the app is open: To display your location on the map.
When the app is in the background: Only if you have actively enabled a "Safe Journey" or "Guardian Mode" to monitor your safety status.

1.2 Audio & Video Evidence

When you trigger an SOS or "Record Evidence" mode, the app captures audio and video from your device. This media is encrypted and uploaded immediately to our secure "Evidence Vault" (hosted on AWS).

1.3 Contact List

We access your contacts only to allow you to select "Trusted Contacts" or "Emergency Contacts." We do not upload your entire address book to our servers.

2. How We Use Your Data

To Provide Safety Services: Sending your location to your selected contacts during an emergency.
To Automate Alerts: The "Guardian Engine" analyzes your vitals (battery, movement, location) to detect anomalies (e.g., a crash or missed check-in).
For Forensics: Storing evidence in the Vault for your future legal use.

3. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored on Amazon Web Services (AWS) in Australia. We employ:

Encryption at Rest: All database entries and media files are encrypted using AES-256 standards.
Encryption in Transit: Data is transmitted via secure SSL/TLS tunnels.
Object Lock: Evidence files are stored using Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM) technology to prevent tampering.

4. Data Retention

Location History: We do not retain granular location history indefinitely. Location points are purged automatically after 24 hours unless they are part of a verified "Incident" (SOS event).

Evidence Vault: Media is retained according to your subscription tier (30 days for Gold, 90 days for Platinum), after which it is permanently deleted unless you export it.

5. Your Rights

You may request the deletion of your account and all associated data at any time via the "Settings" menu in the app or by emailing privacy@kinlyr.com.
