At Kinisium, we believe that safety should never come at the cost of privacy. That’s why Kini was intentionally built with privacy at its core — no tracking, no data harvesting, and no strings attached.
We know that many responsible gun owners are also rightfully cautious when it comes to surveillance, digital footprints, and who has access to their personal information. If you’re someone who’s ever asked, “Who’s watching me?” — this post is for you.
No GPS. No Location Tracking. Period.
Kini has no GPS, no cellular module, and no way to track your location — because we didn’t build any of that into the device. We literally don’t know where your Kini is, what it’s monitoring, or where it’s installed. We can’t see that information, even if we wanted to.
We Only Require One Thing: A Phone Number
To receive immediate alerts when motion is detected, Kini sends a text message — and for that, the only required information is a phone number. That’s it. No name, no address, no email. You can even use a prepaid or “burner” phone if you want total anonymity. We fully support that choice.
Any other info you provide during setup (like your name or email) is completely optional and not needed for the device to work.
We Don’t Log Your IP Address
Many companies quietly collect metadata like your IP address to infer your location and habits. We don’t. We don’t collect or store your IP address during setup or ongoing use. Your digital trail doesn’t run through us.
No Subscriptions. No Data Mining. Ever.
You’ll never be charged a subscription to use Kini. The upcoming Kini iPhone app, launching next month, will be completely free and give you the option to manage settings and receive even faster push notifications.
Even with the app, we’re staying true to our promise: no tracking, no profiling, no user data harvesting.
Coming Soon: Optional Log-Free Mode
Some users appreciate having an event log for review. It’s also useful when you don’t want audible warnings but just want a log of the activities. Others want complete discretion. We’re rolling out a new setting that lets you disable the activity log entirely — meaning you won’t keep track, and neither will we. There will be no record of how often your Kini was triggered, when, or where.
This isn’t just a feature — it’s a stance. We’re building tools that empower you without exposing you.
Final Thought
In a time when every click, swipe, and purchase is being tracked, Kini stands apart. It’s a tool for those who value safety and privacy, and it’s built by a small team who shares those values.
We don’t want your data. We just want to help you stay in control of your home, your firearm, and your peace of mind.
