Privacy Policy

Last updated October 1, 2026

Who we are

Kyn Technology Inc. (“Kyn”, “we”, “us”) is a Delaware corporation and the controller of the information described on this page. You can reach us about anything here at privacy@kynrewards.com, or by post:

What this site is

This website presents the Kyn app and lets you join the waitlist or a creator’s team. There are no accounts, no logins, no payments and no connected cards on this website. Those happen only in the Kyn app, which has its own Privacy Policy at kynrewards.com/privacy/. The creator program pages, described in their own section below, let you join a creator’s team from this website. This notice covers only this website.

What we collect

Only what you type into a form on this site, and only the fields that form asks for. Depending on which form you use, that is some combination of:

• your name
• your email address
• your ZIP code, so we know which cohort you fall into
• your creator handle and platform, if you are signing up as a creator
• your organization, if you are contacting us as press
• your niche, an invite code, and how you heard about us
• any note you choose to write us
• your mobile phone number, if you join a creator’s team on a creator program page

Our servers also keep ordinary technical logs — IP address, browser user-agent, the time of the request — for a short period. Every web server does this, it is how a service stays secure and debuggable, and we do not join those logs to the form data or use them to build a profile of you.

Creator program pages

Pages under kynrewards.com/program/join/ let you join a creator’s team before that creator’s Kyn activates, following the same steps the app does. They ask for your name and your mobile number, which reach us by email together with the creator’s name, a random reference and, if the link you followed carried one, where it was shared. We use them to text you when that creator’s Kyn activates, and for nothing else.

The creator sees your name. The creator whose team you join can see the names of the people on their team, when each joined and whether each has completed the card step, on a private page only they can open. That is the name as you typed it and that one yes or no, nothing more: never your phone number, where you came from, which bank you picked or anything else you enter. The signup screen says so before you continue. To be taken off a creator’s list, email privacy@kynrewards.com.

One step shows what connecting your bank will share with Kyn, under the name of Plaid, the service the Kyn app uses to connect bank accounts. On these pages nothing is connected: that step has no field to type into, never asks for a bank login or password, and Plaid receives nothing from these pages. If you choose to continue, we record that you did (as the fingerprint described below).

To show how many people have joined a creator’s team, and how many chose to connect their bank, we keep a count of each. What we store for it is a one-way fingerprint (a SHA-256 hash) of your phone number, used only to avoid counting the same person twice; the number itself is not stored there and cannot be read back out of it.

Which bank you pick from the list is recorded in our analytics as a choice, the same way a button press is. Nothing you type on these pages is: every field is masked in the recordings described below.

To measure how far people get through these pages, our own server also counts each step reached. For that, your browser keeps a random identifier (kyn_vid, in this site’s local storage) so that you are counted once even if you come back. With it we record, per day, that a browser reached a step, which link it arrived by and, at the bank step, which bank was touched. It is not linked to your name, your number or anything you type, it is kept as an anonymous count that cannot be turned back into a list of visitors, and clearing this site’s data in your browser deletes it.

Session analytics

This site runs Microsoft Clarity. It records how people move through the page — what you click, how far you scroll, where you give up — and plays that back to us as a session replay, alongside heatmaps of the page. We use it for exactly one thing: finding the parts of this page that are confusing, and fixing them.

To do that it sets two first-party cookies, _clck and _clsk, so a visit holds together from one page to the next, and it collects the ordinary technical signals — pages viewed, device and browser, referring site, and an approximate location worked out from your IP address.

It does not capture anything you type. Clarity masks the contents of every input box and every dropdown, in all of its modes, and that is not a setting we can switch off. Your name, email, ZIP code and any note you write are hidden before the recording leaves your browser and never reach Microsoft. What we see in a replay is a form being filled in, not what was filled into it.

Microsoft handles this as our service provider under its own privacy statement, keeps recordings for 30 days, and states that it does not sell Clarity data.

Who we do not run it on

Kyn is a United States product and this is a United States waitlist, so there is nothing we need to learn from measuring visitors in Europe. The check reads the timezone your browser already reports; it asks no location service, stores nothing, and involves no one else. It is not perfect — a traveller or a VPN can land on the wrong side of it — so it is written to fail the safe way: if we cannot tell where you are, we do not measure you.

Everywhere else, you can still switch it off. Blocking cookies for this site works and nothing here breaks without them, and you can opt out of Microsoft’s analytics across every site that uses it at optout.aboutads.info.

What we do not do

Why we use it

To reply to you, to tell you when Kyn opens in your area, to text you when a creator whose team you joined activates, and to work out where demand is so we know which cohort to open next. That is the whole list. If you are in the UK or the EEA, our lawful basis is your consent, given when you submitted the form, and our legitimate interest in operating and planning a service you asked to hear about.

Who else sees it

We keep the list of people we hand your information to as short as we can:

• Resend, our email provider, which delivers the notification of your signup to us (including your phone number, if you joined a creator’s team) and stores your email address, when you gave one, so we can write to you when Kyn is open to you.
• Upstash, which hosts the counts on the creator program pages and so stores the fingerprint of your phone number described above, never the number itself.
• Microsoft, which runs Clarity and therefore receives the session and page data described above — never the contents of a form.
• Our website host and the platform running the signup endpoint, which necessarily process the request as it passes through them.
• Anyone we are legally required to disclose to, if we ever receive a valid legal demand.

That is the complete list. No data brokers, no advertising networks, no partners, no affiliates.

How long we keep it

Until we have told you that Kyn is open to you, or until you ask us to delete it, whichever comes first. If we stop offering Kyn, we delete the list. Clarity recordings are on a separate and much shorter clock: Microsoft holds them for 30 days, apart from a small sample kept up to nine months.

To come off the list, email privacy@kynrewards.com and we will remove you. Right now that is the only way, because joining the waitlist does not subscribe you to anything yet: the form notifies us, and nothing is sent to you. Once we do start sending, every email will carry an unsubscribe link.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal, which no longer has an agreed meaning and which this site does not act on separately. The signal that does work here is Global Privacy Control. We check it before anything loads: a browser sending GPC gets no analytics at all, rather than analytics that promise to behave. Either way we do not track visitors across other websites.

Your choices

Wherever you live, and whether or not a particular privacy law happens to apply to a company our size, you can ask us to:

• tell you what we hold about you
• correct it, if it is wrong
• delete it
• send you a copy in a portable format
• stop emailing you

Email privacy@kynrewards.com and we will do it. We will not charge you, we will not ask why, and we will not treat you differently for asking. We aim to respond within 30 days. If you are in the UK or the EEA you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

Security

The site is served over HTTPS and the signup endpoint accepts submissions only from our own domain. Access to the signup list is limited to the people at Kyn who need it. No system is perfectly secure, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise.

Age

Kyn is an eighteen-and-over product, and this site is not directed to anyone younger. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18, and the analytics described above are not run on an audience we expect to include minors. If you believe someone under 18 has given us their details, write to us and we will delete them.

Where your information is held

In the United States. If you are writing to us from outside the US, your information will be transferred there.

Changes to this policy

If we change how we handle your information, we will update this page and move the date at the top of it. Material changes will be sent to the email address you gave us rather than left here to be discovered.
