Privacy Policy
Ang data mo, sa'yo pa rin
Last updated: December 2025 · This page explains what Kitakits collects, why, and the controls you have over it.
What we collect
- Account info — your name, @handle, email address, and a hashed (never plain-text) password.
- Profile details — avatar, cover photo, bio, links, and badges you earn.
- Your content — posts, comments, likes, shares, saves, follows, testimonials, and mail messages you send.
- Preferences — theme choice and similar settings stored on your device and account.
- Presence — online status and hangout participation, shown to other members while you're active.
How we use it
- To run the service — your feed, profile, mail, and hangouts.
- To keep you signed in and secure your account.
- To send notifications about activity on your posts, mail, and testimonials.
- To power community features like Discover, search, badges, and streaks.
We don't sell your data, we don't run ads, and we don't use third-party trackers.
What's public
Posts you set to public and your public @handle page are visible to anyone — including logged-out visitors and search engines. Posts set to followers only or private are only shown to the audience you picked.
Testimonials written for you only appear on your profile after you approve them.
Hangouts and live rooms
Voice and video in hangout rooms (videoke, card tables) are transmitted in real time through our realtime media provider. Mail and hangout audio are delivered over encrypted connections between you and our servers.
Third-party services
We use a small number of providers to run Kitakits:
- Database and hosting for storing your account and content.
- A media CDN for avatars, photos, and video thumbnails.
- A realtime provider for live audio/video in hangout rooms.
- YouTube embeds for videoke song playback, subject to YouTube's terms.
These providers only receive the data needed to deliver the feature you're using.
Cookies and storage
We use a session cookie to keep you signed in and local storage for preferences like your theme. That's it — no advertising or analytics cookies.
Your controls
- Choose a visibility level (public, followers, mutuals) on every post.
- Set your profile to private and control who can mail you.
- Approve or reject testimonials before they appear.
- Block members you don't want to interact with.
- Delete your posts, comments, and mail at any time.
Data retention
We keep your data while your account exists. When you delete content it's removed from public view; backups and logs may retain it for a limited period before being purged.
Security
Passwords are hashed, sessions are server-side, and traffic is encrypted in transit. No system is perfect — if you spot something, tell us and we'll fix it.
Younger users
Kitakits isn't intended for children under 13. If we learn a child under 13 has an account, we'll remove it.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and revise the date above. Big changes get announced in-app.
