Privacy

Effective date: July 3, 2026

KinBrief is built to help families coordinate care without turning private family details into another scattered thread. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it. KinBrief is family care coordination software. It is not a medical provider, medical device, clinical record system, emergency service, or decision-support tool.

1. Who we are

KinBrief is operated by DCP Labs / KinBrief.

Contact: hello@kinbrief.com

In this policy, “KinBrief,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the KinBrief service. “You” refers to the person using KinBrief, including care circle owners, family members, invited relatives, trusted friends, and caregivers.

2. Information we collect

We collect information you provide directly, information created while using KinBrief, and limited technical information needed to run the service.

Account information:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Login and authentication details
  • Account settings
  • Support messages you send us

Care circle information:

  • Care recipient name or nickname
  • Relationship to the care recipient
  • Care circle members and roles
  • Invited member email addresses
  • Family or caregiver permissions

Care coordination content:

  • Tasks
  • Notes
  • Weekly briefs
  • Timeline entries
  • Responsibility lists
  • Questions for the family, doctor, pharmacist, or care team
  • Follow-up items
  • Family-ready summaries

Document information:

  • Document names
  • Document categories
  • Upload metadata
  • Document notes or summaries
  • Files you choose to upload

Depending on what you add, your care coordination content may include sensitive information about health, appointments, medication lists, care needs, insurance, finances, legal documents, or family situations. You decide what to add.

Payment information:

If you choose a paid plan, payments are processed by Stripe. KinBrief does not store full card numbers, CVC codes, bank details, or complete payment method data. We may store subscription status, plan type, billing interval, Stripe customer reference, and payment-related metadata needed to manage access.

Technical and usage information:

  • Device and browser information
  • Approximate location derived from technical data, such as country or region
  • Pages or features used
  • Error logs
  • Security and session information
  • Basic analytics needed to improve reliability and usability

3. How we use information

We use information to:

  • Create and manage your account
  • Set up and manage care circles
  • Show tasks, notes, timelines, briefs, documents, and family members
  • Help users understand what changed, what is overdue, who is doing what, and what needs attention next
  • Generate AI-assisted drafts, summaries, action-item suggestions, and weekly briefs when you request them
  • Let you review, edit, approve, reject, copy, or share care updates
  • Manage permissions and access inside a care circle
  • Provide support
  • Improve product reliability, safety, and usability
  • Detect abuse, security issues, or unauthorized access
  • Manage billing and plan access
  • Comply with legal obligations

4. AI processing

KinBrief may use AI providers to help generate draft summaries, suggested tasks, follow-up items, questions to discuss, and weekly care briefs.

AI outputs are suggestions only. They are not medical advice, diagnosis, treatment recommendations, medication recommendations, emergency guidance, legal advice, or financial advice.

AI suggestions must be reviewed by a person before they are saved, used, copied, or shared. KinBrief is designed so extracted items are review-first and are not automatically added to the care plan without user approval.

You should confirm health-related questions, medication details, appointments, and care decisions with the appropriate doctor, pharmacist, nurse, emergency service, legal professional, financial professional, or care team.

5. How information is shared

Care circle sharing:

Information inside a care circle is shared with members who have access to that care circle according to their role and permissions. Owners and admins are responsible for inviting the right people and removing access when someone should no longer participate.

User-directed sharing:

If you copy, export, download, screenshot, email, message, or paste a KinBrief summary into another app, that sharing is controlled by you. External tools are not controlled by KinBrief.

Service providers:

We may share information with trusted service providers who help us run KinBrief, including hosting, database, authentication, storage, analytics, AI processing, email delivery, error monitoring, customer support, and payment processing.

Payment processing:

Paid plan payments are processed by Stripe. Stripe handles payment details according to its own privacy and security practices.

Legal and safety reasons:

We may disclose information if required by law, legal process, security needs, fraud prevention, or to protect the rights, safety, and integrity of KinBrief, users, or others.

Business transfers:

If KinBrief is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets, user information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to appropriate safeguards.

We do not sell care-circle content.

We do not use private care notes, documents, or weekly briefs for targeted advertising.

We do not make care circle content public unless you choose to share it.

6. Document storage and links

KinBrief may store documents in a private document workspace connected to your care circle.

Document access is intended to be limited to authorized care circle members. Document viewing or downloading may use secure temporary links instead of public file URLs.

Do not use KinBrief as the only storage location for important medical, legal, financial, insurance, or identity documents. Keep your own backup copies.

7. Data retention

We keep information for as long as needed to provide KinBrief, maintain your account, support care circle history, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, and enforce our terms.

You may request deletion of your account or workspace data by contacting us. Some information may be retained for a limited time in backups, logs, billing records, security records, or where required by law.

8. Your choices and rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

  • Access personal information we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate information
  • Request deletion
  • Request export of certain data
  • Object to or restrict certain processing
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
  • File a complaint with a data protection authority

You can also:

  • Edit or delete tasks, notes, timeline entries, documents, and family members where your role allows it
  • Remove invited members from a care circle where your role allows it
  • Stop using KinBrief
  • Contact us with privacy questions

Contact: hello@kinbrief.com

9. Security

We use technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect KinBrief data, including access controls, authentication, role-based permissions, and private workspace patterns.

No online service can guarantee perfect security. You are responsible for keeping your login information secure and inviting only people who should have access to a care circle.

10. International processing

KinBrief may process and store information in countries other than your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers.

11. Children

KinBrief is intended for adults coordinating family care. It is not intended for children. Do not create an account if you are under 18.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as KinBrief changes. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date and may provide additional notice inside the product or by email.
