Your Privacy Is Our Priority 🛡️
At Kiro, we know your creative work and personal privacy are just as important as the industrial retro aesthetic you love crafting. We built Kiro to be a privacy-first creative tool, so you can focus on adjusting line thickness, tweaking line jitter effects, layering retro paper textures, and experimenting with blueprint color lab presets without worrying about your data being misused.
Core principle: We do not require account registration to use all Kiro features, and 99% of your activity in the app never leaves your local device.
What Information We (Don't) Collect
- We never collect personal identifiable information including your name, phone number, address, or contact details unless you voluntarily provide them to us. There is no sign-up requirement to use Kiro's full editing suite.
- We never upload, store, or access any of your original photos, draft edits, or finished artworks. All editing processes (texture overlays, line adjustments, color preset applications) run 100% locally on your device. Your creative work stays fully under your control at all times.
- Only two types of data may be shared with us voluntarily: 1) The email address you provide when you send us feedback or support requests, used solely to respond to your inquiry; 2) Fully anonymous, de-identified usage statistics (e.g. most popular preset styles, app crash reports) to help us optimize features and fix bugs, which cannot be linked back to you as an individual.
How We Use Your Information
- If you contact us via email, we will only use your provided email address to reply to your questions, feature requests, or feedback. We will never add your email to marketing lists, send you unsolicited promotional content, or share it with third parties.
- Anonymous usage data is used exclusively to improve Kiro's performance, prioritize new feature development, and fix technical issues. For example, if we see a particular retro paper texture is used by many creators, we will prioritize adding more similar texture options in future updates.
Third Party Data Sharing
We will never sell, rent, lease, or trade any of your personal information to third-party advertisers, marketing agencies, or commercial partners for any reason.
The only scenario where we may be required to disclose information is when we are legally compelled to do so by official regulatory requests. In such cases, we will take all reasonable steps to notify you of the disclosure in advance where permitted by law.
Your Control Over Your Data
- You have the full right to request deletion of any contact information you have previously shared with us at any time. Simply send a request to support@kiro.app and we will permanently erase all your related data from our records within 72 hours.
- Since we never store your photos or edited works, you do not need to request deletion of these assets from us - they remain stored only on your personal device, under your full control at all times. We recommend regularly backing up your creations to avoid accidental loss due to device damage or app updates.
Data Security Measures
We implement industry-standard encryption and security protocols to protect the very limited personal information you may voluntarily share with us. Our application is designed with no background file upload permissions, so your personal photos and creative works can never be transmitted off your device without your explicit action.
While we take all reasonable steps to protect your data, we recommend you also take basic security measures for your device, such as using secure passcodes and keeping your operating system updated, to further safeguard your creative work.
Updates to This Privacy Policy
We may occasionally update this privacy policy as we add new features to Kiro or adjust our service operations. Minor updates will take effect immediately upon being posted on this page, with the effective date updated accordingly.
For significant changes that impact how we handle your data, we will notify you via in-app announcement at least 30 days before the changes take effect, so you have time to review the updated terms and decide if you wish to continue using Kiro.
Contact Us
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests related to this privacy policy or how we handle your data, you can reach our support team at any time at support@kiro.app. We will respond to all inquiries within 3 business days.
