Last updated: September 1, 2026. This policy covers Kinea (stretching & mobility), Kinea Go (activity tracking), and Kinea Hike (trail discovery and hike tracking). We keep things simple and transparent.
Section 01
We collect account details you provide (such as email), basic profile information, app usage data (such as completed routines and streaks), and subscription status data needed to provide premium access.
Kinea Go additionally collects: GPS and route data recorded during active workouts, activity data (type, distance, duration, pace, elevation, and heart rate where available), group membership and challenge participation, and workout history imported from Health Connect (including data written by connected fitness apps and devices) when you choose to sync.
Kinea Hike additionally collects: your location when you request nearby trails or record a hike; recorded route, distance, duration, pace, elevation and completion data; saved, favourite and downloaded trails; community trails and photos you choose to publish; creator profile and following information; and subscription entitlement data.
Section 02
We use your data to provide and improve Kinea features, sync progress across devices, personalise routines, show nearby trails, record and restore activities, provide navigation and offline maps, support community features, send reminders you enable, and support account and billing operations.
Section 03
When you purchase subscriptions on Android, payments are processed by Google Play Billing. We do not store full card numbers. We may receive subscription metadata from Google (such as product, purchase token status, start date, and renewal/cancellation state) to validate access and manage premium features.
Section 03a
Kinea Go uses your device's GPS to record routes during active workouts. Location access is only used while you are actively recording an activity — we do not track your location in the background. Route and location data is stored in your Kinea Go account on Firebase and is not shared with third parties. You can delete your activity history at any time by contacting support or deleting your account.
Section 03b
Kinea Go can import your workout history from Health Connect if you grant permission. This sync is entirely user-initiated and only occurs when you choose to import. Depending on permissions you approve, imported data may include exercise session details, exercise route (GPS path), heart rate, distance, steps, active calories, total calories burned, and elevation gained. This data is stored in your Kinea Go account to display Activity Feed and Workout Details, including route maps and workout metrics. We do not write data back to Health Connect.
You can revoke Health Connect permissions at any time in the Health Connect app settings. You can delete imported workout data by deleting activities in-app or deleting your account.
Section 03c
Kinea Hike uses location to show nearby trails, support navigation, and record a hike when you start tracking. During an active hike, recording may continue in the background so the route remains complete when the screen is locked or you use another app. Kinea Hike does not use background location when no hike is being recorded.
Recorded hikes and route data may be stored in your Firebase account so they can be restored across devices. Offline trail bundles, route geometry and map-region information are also stored locally on your device until you remove them or clear the app's data.
Section 03d
If you publish a community hike, information you choose to share may be visible to other Kinea Hike users, including the trail name, route, location, photos, description, activity details, creator name and profile image. Your following relationships and engagement with community trails may also be stored. Do not publish private locations or content you do not have permission to share.
Section 04
We do not sell your personal information. We use service providers to operate the apps, including Google Firebase for authentication, databases and file storage; Google Play or Apple for purchases; RevenueCat for subscription entitlement management; and Mapbox for maps and offline map regions in Kinea Hike. These providers may process device, account, purchase, location or network information as needed to provide their services under their own terms and privacy policies. Health and route data imported from Health Connect is used to provide in-app functionality and is not sold or shared for advertising.
Section 05
We retain data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.
Section 06
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational safeguards to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
Section 07
You can update account information, turn off reminders, remove downloaded trails, delete eligible activities and community content in the apps, revoke location or Health Connect permissions in device settings, and request account deletion by contacting support. Depending on your region, you may have additional privacy rights.
Section 08
Kinea is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children below the legal age threshold.
Section 09
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated in-app or by other appropriate means.
Section 10
For privacy questions, reach out to us at any time. We aim to respond within 48 hours.
