Privacy

Your postcards are for the people you choose — not for advertisers, and not for us. You decide whether that’s everyone on Kairo, or just your friends.

What we collect

• Your account — you sign in with Apple. We store your name (as you choose to share it), an identifier Apple gives us, and the username, profile photo, and bio you add.
• Your postcards — the photos, captions, and places you choose to capture in the app, and when you took them. A place is only the name you type or pick — we never collect your GPS location. You can hide the time on a postcard.
• Your circle— who you’re friends with in Kairo, so we know who can see your weeks.
• What you do in the app — comments, likes, and any reports or blocks you make.
• Notifications— if you turn them on, a push token so we can notify you about the reveal and your friends’ activity.

Who can see what

• You choose Public or Private when you sign up, with Public selected to start. You can change it at any time in Settings.
• Public — anyone signed in to Kairo can see your postcards and archive, including in World, and can like or comment on your weeks.
• Private — only your accepted friends can see your postcards, and only after the Thursday reveal.
• Your name, username, profile photo, bio, and friends list can be seen by other people signed in to Kairo, so friends can find you. We suggest people you may know based on mutual friends.
• Blocking someone hides your postcards from them, whether you’re Private or Public.

How it’s protected

• Photos live in private storage and are served through short-lived signed links — there are no public photo URLs, and nothing is visible to anyone who isn’t signed in to Kairo.
• Who can see what is enforced in the database itself, including the Thursday reveal: even our own app cannot show a friend your week early.
• Reported content is reviewed by us. A public week that gets several reports is hidden from World until we’ve looked at it.

Who we share it with

Only the services that run Kairo for us: Supabase (our database and photo storage), Apple (sign in), and Expo (delivering push notifications). They handle your data only to provide those services.

What we don’t do

• No ads, and no selling or sharing your data with advertisers or data brokers.
• No public web pages of your photos — World lives only inside the app.
• No tracking you across other apps or websites.

Kids

Kairo is for people 13 and older. If you believe a child under 13 has an account, email us and we’ll delete it.

Deleting your data

Delete a postcard in the app and it’s gone. To delete your whole account and everything in it, use Settings → delete account in the app, or email us and we’ll do it for you.
