Built so families never have to choose between privacy and peace of mind
Kin Circles is developed and operated by Vinte9, with one simple goal: help the people you care about stay safe, without turning safety into surveillance.
Most safety apps ask you to trade privacy for peace of mind — broad tracking, ads funded by your data, or account systems that outlive the reason you signed up. We built Kin Circles differently: every feature exists to answer one question a worried parent, partner, or friend actually asks — "Is everyone okay?" — and nothing more.
A Circle is a small, consensual group — a family, a household, a group of close friends, coworkers on a trip — where everyone who shares their location has agreed to share it. There is no public discovery, no stranger matching, and no advertising business model standing between you and the people in your Circle.
Privacy by default
We collect only what's needed to power live location, safe places, and SOS — and we never sell or rent your data to advertisers or data brokers.
Consent, always
Location sharing is mutual and visible to everyone in the Circle. Kin Circles is built for transparent safety, not covert tracking.
Built for real relationships
Every feature — check-ins, geofences, SOS, crash detection — is designed around how families, friends, and colleagues actually look out for each other.
Honest about limits
Kin Circles is a coordination tool, not a replacement for emergency services. We're upfront about what technology can and can't guarantee.
