Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 12, 2026

Kansensus Inc. ("we," "us," "our") operates the Kansensus mobile application. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you use our app.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

• Account information received through Sign in with Apple or Google (such as email and name), plus your Kansensus handle. The current Kansensus apps for iPhone and Android do not create or store an account password. If you are still on the older Android app (version 1.0.6), that version may sign you in with an email address and password through Firebase Authentication until you update; Kansensus does not receive or store the plaintext password, and this does not apply to the iPhone app.
• Profile information (name, bio, profile picture)
• Content you create or send in Watch, Talk, Decide, and Chat, including posts, uploaded photos, video or audio, voice posts, polls, votes, comments, replies, and messages
• Optional self-declared country, birth year, and gender information used only for privacy-protected aggregate Decide results
• Social and safety activity, such as follows, blocks, reactions, reports, moderation outcomes, and referral attribution
• Contribution information we calculate (member cohort, confirmed invitations, verified activity counts, eligible population, private rank and percentile, and point history)
• Communications with us

Information Collected Automatically

• Device and app information (device and operating-system family, app version, and release version)
• App interactions, searches within Kansensus, referral attribution, and app-scoped device or installation identifiers used to operate, secure, measure, and personalize the service
• Service and security data (IP address, request and operation identifiers, and reliability, fraud-prevention, and abuse-investigation logs)
• Crash and error reports (what went wrong, and the app version and device type when it happened)

Usage data and crash reports are collected to detect crashes and improve the app, not for their own sake. They are sent to our product analytics provider (PostHog) and our crash reporting provider (Sentry) under an identifier that is not your name, email address or account identifier, and never include what you post, write, or vote for. They are on by default as part of how the app is operated and improved, and you agree to this in our Terms of Service. You can turn them off at any time in Settings, under Privacy, on both iPhone and Android. When you turn them off, or when you delete your account, the analytics identifier and the data linked to it are deleted from PostHog; crash reports are kept by Sentry for a limited period (90 days) and then deleted automatically.

2. How We Use Information

We use collected information to:

• Provide and maintain the app
• Create and manage your account
• Enable Watch, Talk, Decide, Chat, profiles, referrals, and safety features
• Produce only server-approved, privacy-protected aggregate demographic results for Decide
• Calculate and explain your private contribution points, progress, rank, and percentile when available
• Improve our services
• Communicate with you
• Comply with legal obligations

3. Information Sharing

We may share information with:

• Other users according to the audience you choose for public profile and content features
• Chat recipients; reported private content may be reviewed for trust and safety
• Service providers that support identity, hosting, storage, media delivery, security, platform operations, and product analytics and crash reporting (PostHog and Sentry, as described in Section 1), on both iPhone and Android. Referral and install attribution providers apply only to people still using the older Android app (version 1.0.6), for as long as that version remains available
• Legal authorities (when required by law)

4. Data Retention

We retain your information as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. When you delete your account, we delete your data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

5. Your Rights

You can:

• Access and update your information in app settings
• Delete your account in the app or request deletion at kansensus.com/delete-account
• Contact us at support@kansensus.com

6. Children's Privacy

You must be 17 or older to use Kansensus. Our app is not intended for anyone under 17, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 17.

7. Security

We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information. The current Kansensus apps for iPhone and Android send data to Kansensus and approved service providers only through encrypted HTTPS/TLS connections, and both block unencrypted network traffic. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy. We will notify you of changes by posting the new policy and updating the "Last Updated" date.
