Effective with the release of Klyn version 1.3.0.

Here's what changed in this update:

• Klyn is now a 16+ app. Klyn is intended for people aged 16 and over; people under 16 are not permitted to use the App, and users aged 16–17 may need a parent or legal guardian's consent where local law requires it. Before creating or joining a household, the App asks you to confirm this in a short checklist. See Sections 2.3 and 11.
• We also corrected how we describe household members. Everyone added to a household must be over 16 themselves, since the App has no way to add a profile for a younger child who doesn't use it. See Sections 2.3, 3, and 11.
• We reminded you that custom fields are your responsibility, with more detail on what to avoid. The household name, room names, and task names are free-text fields you type yourself, and — when you use household sharing — they are visible to and editable by every member of your household and stored on our servers. Use them only for their intended purpose, and please do not enter personal or sensitive information (such as full names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, account numbers, or health/financial details) into them. See Sections 2.3 and 9.
• We added a note on how a household stays active. A household — and the data it holds — keeps running for as long as at least one member stays subscribed to Klyn+; if the admin's subscription lapses, the admin role can pass automatically to another subscribed member, so the household is not disbanded unnecessarily. See Section 6.
• We clarified a few smaller technical details. Your anonymous account is created when you tap "I agree, continue" on the App's first onboarding screen, not simply when you open the App. We disclosed a "grace period" status for when a subscription renewal payment temporarily fails, and the optional shared "cleaning day" setting. We clarified that your device's push-notification token is the "Device ID" referenced in our App Store privacy label, used only to deliver household notifications. And we tightened our wording confirming that only a broad adult/minor result from an age check is ever used by the App — never your exact age, date of birth, or the underlying details. See Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.5, and 2.11.

This Privacy Policy explains how Creative Adventures Lab ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects information in connection with the Klyn mobile application (available on the App Store and Google Play, also referred to as "Klyn" or "the App"). It also describes your rights under applicable data protection law, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") and the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act ("CCPA/CPRA").

Please read this policy carefully. By installing or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read and understood it.

1. Our Core Privacy Principle

Klyn is designed to be private by default and local-first. Your rooms, tasks, cleaning history, streaks, sessions, settings, and widget data are stored exclusively on your device — none of this content is stored on our servers when you use the App on your own.

If you choose to share a household with other people, the minimum data required to keep everyone in sync (the household name, an 8-character invite code, each member's chosen avatar name and avatar emoji, each member's join-request status — pending, approved, or rejected — task definitions, task assignments, completion timestamps, and, if you grant notification permission, your device's push token for household notifications) is stored on our backend so that all members of the same household see the same shared chore board in real time. This server-side storage is opt-in: it only happens after you tap "Create a household" or "Join with invite code".

The App uses anonymous authentication only. We do not offer Sign in with Apple, Sign in with Google, email/password sign-up, or any other identity-based login. Each device receives its own anonymous Supabase user; there is no concept of a Klyn "account" tied to your real-world identity.

Outside of household sharing and subscription verification, we collect the minimum data necessary to provide and protect the subscription service. We do not collect your email address, phone number, postal address, location, contacts list, photos, browsing history, or any behavioural analytics from your use of the App's core features, and we do not run any third-party analytics, telemetry, advertising, or tracking SDK in the App. As with any internet service, when the App connects to our servers — for example to create or sync a household, or to verify a subscription — your device's IP address is necessarily visible to our infrastructure provider (Supabase) at the network layer; we do not use it to identify, track, or profile you, and we do not store it in our application database (see Sections 2.2 and 5).

When you create or join a household, you choose how you appear to other members. The App offers two options: pick a preset avatar (e.g. "Broomhilda", "Sir Bubbles") or type a custom display name (capped at 30 characters). If you choose the custom-name option, that string is stored on our servers in the household member row and visible to other approved members of the same household. Users who do not want to share their real name can simply pick a preset avatar instead. Section 2.3 below describes this in detail.
