Privacy first
Security at the core
Your family’s memories deserve care. Kunbaa safeguards data with clear, simple controls for invites, sign-in, and account management.
Private by default
Your content is private to your family space. There are no public profiles and no public pages, and nothing is indexed by search engines. It reaches other services only so Kunbaa can run: notifications and emails to your family, and, if you turn on Kunbaa AI, the text of family updates sent to OpenAI to write your digests. Beyond that, it leaves only if you download a copy and share it yourself.
Encrypted in transit and at rest
Everything between your device and Kunbaa travels over HTTPS (TLS), and calls are encrypted in transit. Your family's data is stored encrypted at rest on Amazon Web Services: every database table and every stored photo and video, with keys AWS manages. Kunbaa is not end-to-end encrypted; the Help Center explains why, plainly.
Safer sign-in choices
Sign in with a code sent to your email, or with Apple or Google. There is no password to remember or lose. On supported devices there is also biometric unlock for faster access to the same account without Kunbaa storing your face or fingerprint. Google sign-in is accepted only for a verified address.
Adults hold the accounts
Kunbaa accounts are for adults, 18 and over. Children appear in the tree and throughout the photos, added and looked after by the adults, which also means Kunbaa is not collecting account data about your kids.
Careful sharing
Invites, posts, memories, and announcements all sit behind invite-only family access. The only way into your family's space is an invite from someone already inside. There is no discovery, no search, and no way for a stranger to ask to join. Within the family, a post can be narrowed to your extended family or your household, and that choice is enforced on our servers.
Control and portability
Delete content you no longer want to keep, and delete your account from the mobile app under Settings, then Privacy and account, or by email if you cannot sign in. There is no self-serve download-everything button yet; email support and we will prepare a complete copy of your family's archive for you.
Who can do what
Whoever runs the family sets each member's level (Admin, Can post, or View only) and three switches per person: post on the wall, add people to the tree, message family members. They are chosen as the invite is sent, changed any time from the member's profile, and a member who wants more asks the admins through Request access; the server checks the permission on every write, not just the screen.
Respect for private content
We do not sell your personal data, and private family content is not used for ad targeting or ad measurement in private areas.
Calls and location stay your choice
Voice and video calls (one-to-one, or a group of up to 6 started on Kunbaa Plus or Ultra) happen inside your invite-only family space and are never recorded by Kunbaa. Family Safety location sharing and the Live Map are strictly opt-in. They are off until you turn them on, shared only with the relatives you pick, for 15 minutes, 1 hour or 8 hours or until you stop, and you choose whether sharing runs only while the app is open or, on iPhone, continues with it closed.
The longer answers live in the Help Center: how private is Kunbaa (including an honest note on encryption), getting your data out and how to delete your account. The formal version is the Privacy Policy. What Kunbaa AI sends, what is kept and the promise that nothing is used to train AI are on Kunbaa AI and your family's data.
