What AI apps can see in Kin

When you connect an AI app to Kin, it can look things up in Kin for you. It can't change anything.

What it can read

• Visits: titles, dates, and once a summary is ready, its overview, topics, and follow-up tasks, plus the agenda you added and the visit's notes you can read. On visits for profiles you own or manage, it can also see who else can read the visit.
• Notes: notes you saved in Kin, and the names and sizes of any attached files (not the files themselves)
• People you follow: the people and pets whose records you can read, and your role on each (owner, admin, caregiver, or viewer). On profiles you own or manage, it can also see who else follows them: their name, role, and whether they've accepted an invite or are waiting for approval. It never sees their phone numbers.
• Kin's help center: articles about how Kin works

An AI app sees only what you can see in the Kin app. If someone removes you as a follower, the app loses access to their records too.

What it can't do

It can't record, edit, delete, or share anything in Kin. Every tool Kin offers to AI apps is read-only.

Where your information goes

When an AI app reads something from Kin, that information becomes part of your conversation with that app, and the app's own privacy terms apply to it. Connect only apps you trust.

How Kin protects the connection

• You approve each app by signing in with your phone, on a page that names the app and where access is going.
• Access keys last a few minutes and renew only while the connection stays signed in.
• Kin keeps a record of which app read which visit and when. That record never includes what the app read or what you asked.
