Privacy Policy
How Kindred Compass looks after your information — in plain English.
Last updated: 8 July 2026
The short version
- You don’t make an account, and we don’t ask who you are.
- Anything you save — notes, routines, check-ins — stays on your own device. We never see it.
- We do not use advertising, analytics companies, or third-party tracking. We only count anonymous usage — which pages and features are used — to improve the app.
- We never sell or share your information. There’s nothing to sell.
- You can delete everything at any time from within the app.
The rest of this page explains that in more detail.
Who is responsible
Kindred Compass is provided by Jason Koomoshan (“we”). We are the data controller for the small amount of technical information described below. You can reach us at support@kindredcompass.co.uk.
What the app stores on your device
When you write a note, add a routine, save a phone number, or make a wellbeing check-in, that information is saved inside your own web browser, on your own device. It stays there. It is not sent to us, and we cannot see it. There is no login and no account.
Anything you type into the Guide Finder or the Scam Checker is also worked out on your device and is not sent to us. (We do count that those features were used — see “Anonymous usage counting” below — but never the words themselves.)
What our hosting provider records
Like every website, Kindred Compass has to be delivered to your device over the internet. We use a hosting company (Vercel Inc.) to do this. To run and protect the service, our host automatically keeps basic technical records for a short time — for example, your device’s internet (IP) address and which pages were requested.
This is standard for any website and is the only personal information involved. It never includes the notes, answers, or other things you save in the app. You can read how our host handles this in their own privacy policy at vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy.
Cookies and tracking
We do not use tracking or advertising cookies, and no outside company (such as Google) watches what you do here. The app uses your browser’s own storage only to remember the things you choose to save. There is no cookie banner because there is nothing to consent to.
Anonymous usage counting
To improve the service, we count — anonymously — which pages are opened and which features are used. For example: “the Scam Checker was used 14 times this week.”
- Never collected: your name, anything you type or save, your internet address, or anything that identifies you.
- If you ask the Guide Finder a question, we count that a question was asked and which of our help topics it matched — never the words you wrote.
- Counting uses a temporary random number that disappears when you close your browser — we cannot recognise you when you return.
- The counts are stored privately with our hosting provider, only the app’s owner can see them, and they are never shared or sold.
- If your browser’s “Do Not Track” setting is on, we don’t count you at all.
If we add an assistant in future
A future version of Kindred Compass may include a live assistant that can answer questions freely. If that happens, your questions would be sent to an outside service to be answered, and that service would have its own privacy terms. We would explain this clearly, and ask you before it is switched on. As always, please don’t include passwords, PINs, bank details, or medical records.
How long information is kept
The things you save stay on your device until you remove them, or until you clear your browser’s data. Our host keeps its technical records only for a short period, as set out in their privacy policy.
Your choices and your rights
Because your information stays on your own device, you are always in control of it. You can remove all of it at any time using Clear my information.
Under UK data protection law you have rights over any personal information — including the right to ask what is held, to have it corrected, or to have it deleted. As we hold no information that identifies you, there is usually nothing for us to look up. For the technical records our host keeps, please contact us at support@kindredcompass.co.uk and we will help.
Keeping the app secure
The app is delivered to your device over a secure, encrypted connection (HTTPS). Because we don’t keep your information on any server — there’s no account and no database — there is no central store of personal data for anyone to break into. That absence is itself one of the strongest protections.
No app or website can promise it’s impossible to hack, and we won’t pretend otherwise. What matters most for you is your own device: keeping it locked with a PIN, fingerprint, or face, and not sharing it, is the best safeguard for anything you save here — which is why we ask you to keep passwords, PINs, and bank details out of it.
Children
Kindred Compass is designed for adults — particularly older adults, carers, and family helpers. It is not intended for use by children.
Changes to this policy
If we change how the app handles information, we will update this page and the date at the top. Please look back from time to time.
Contact and complaints
If you have any question about your privacy here, please contact us at support@kindredcompass.co.uk. You also have the right to complain to the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.
