Privacy Policy
Effective November 10, 2026
Kinshield ("the app") is made by KAELITHURMN DORNSHIOP. This policy explains what the app does with information. In short: we do not collect, store or sell any personal data. There is no account, no advertising and no analytics or tracking.
What stays on your iPhone
- Text messages. iPhone lets the filter see texts from senders who are not in your contacts. The app checks them on your device with built-in rules and returns a sorting decision to iOS. Messages are never stored by the app or sent anywhere. Texts you paste into the Check screen are analyzed on the device and not saved.
- Calls. The app gives iOS a list of numbers to label or block. iOS does not tell the app who calls you.
- Trusted people. When you pick a contact, the app receives only that contact's name and phone numbers and keeps them on your device. The app never reads your whole address book.
- Family code word. Stored in your iPhone's Keychain, available only on this device.
- Settings and blocked numbers. Stored on your device in the app's private storage.
Deleting the app deletes all of this.
Network use
The only network request the app makes is downloading the public list of reported phone numbers from kinshield-data.pages.dev. The request contains no personal information or identifiers. Like any website, the hosting provider (Cloudflare) may process your IP address briefly to deliver the file; we do not receive or keep these logs.
Third parties
We do not share, sell or transfer any information to third parties, because we do not collect any. The app contains no third-party SDKs, analytics or advertising code. The number list is hosted by Cloudflare as described above.
Retention and deletion
Everything the app stores stays on your iPhone until you change it or delete the app. You can remove trusted people, blocked numbers and your code word at any time in the app. Since we hold no data about you, there is nothing for us to delete on our side; you can still email us with any request.
Data sources
Call ratings come from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's public Do Not Call complaint data, which lists the phone number complained about, the date and the topic. Kinshield uses only the number, the count of complaints, the latest date and the topic. It contains no names. Area code locations come from the public NANPA area code report.
Children
The app is not directed to children under 13 and collects no information from anyone.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date above. Any change that adds data collection would be described in an app update before it takes effect.
