Kinora

Privacy Policy

Effective November 15, 2026

Kinora is built so that your work stays yours. Your videos, photos, sound and projects stay on your iPhone. We have no accounts, show no ads, and don't track you.

This policy explains, in plain words, what the app keeps on your phone, the little it sends over the internet and why, and the choices you have. "Kinora", "we" and "us" mean the maker of the Kinora app.

The short version

• Your footage never leaves your phone. Grading, editing, captions, background removal, sound cleaning and exports all happen on your iPhone.
• No account, no sign-in, no ads, no tracking. The app contains no analytics or advertising tools and never builds a profile of you.
• AI Studio is optional. When you use it, it sends the words of your request and a short written description of your edit, never your video, photos or sound.
• Purchases go through Apple. We never see your name, email or payment details.

What stays on your iPhone

To let you carry on where you left off, the app keeps these in its own storage on your phone:

• copies of the videos and photos you add to a project, and the photos and videos you take with the Kinora camera;
• your projects, grades, saved looks and imported LUT files;
• your camera presets and teleprompter script;
• the scans the app makes to find the person or subject in a clip or photo (for background blur, new backgrounds and text behind you);
• the words heard in a clip for captions.

We never receive any of this. Deleting a project removes its files; deleting the app removes everything it stored. If your iPhone backs up to iCloud or a computer, these files can be part of that backup, under Apple's terms.

AI Studio

AI Studio helps you edit by describing what you want. Nothing is sent until you open it and ask for something. When you do, the app sends:

• the request you typed;
• the words spoken in your clips, if the app has already heard them for captions;
• the length and shape of your clips, and the names of the looks, fonts and colors the app offers.

This goes to our server, which asks Anthropic's Claude to write an editing plan and sends the plan back to your phone, where the app applies it. Your video, photos and sound are never sent. We don't keep your requests or the plans. Anthropic processes the text under its Privacy Policy and, under its commercial terms, does not use it to train its models.

If you'd rather nothing leave your phone, simply don't use AI Studio. Everything else in the app works without it.

AI credits and purchases

A random ID instead of an account. The first time you open AI Studio, the app creates a random ID and keeps it in your iPhone's Keychain. Our server stores that ID with your credit balance and a record of credits added, used, refunded or moved. The ID is not linked to your name, email, Apple ID or phone number.

Free credits once per iPhone. To give each iPhone its free credits only once, the app asks Apple for a DeviceCheck token. Apple uses it to confirm the request comes from a real iPhone and keeps two yes/no marks for that device. It doesn't tell us who you are or which iPhone it is.

Paying. Kinora Pro and credit packs are bought through Apple, which handles your payment; we never see your payment details. We use RevenueCat to confirm purchases. It receives the random ID, what was bought and when, under RevenueCat's Privacy Policy. If Apple refunds a purchase, the unused credits from it are removed. If you restore purchases on a new iPhone, your balance moves to that phone's new ID.

Manage or cancel Kinora Pro at any time in Settings > your name > Subscriptions.

The internet services we use

• Cloudflare runs our server and its database. It briefly sees your internet address to deliver a request and to stop abuse (for example, too many requests in a minute). We don't store your internet address.
• Anthropic writes AI Studio's editing plans from the text described above.
• RevenueCat confirms purchases.
• Apple handles payments, DeviceCheck, and speech recognition when your language isn't available on the device (see below).

We don't sell or share your information with anyone else, and we don't use it for advertising.

Permissions the app asks for

• Photos: to open the videos and photos you choose, and to save what you shoot and export. The app only reads what you pick.
• Camera and microphone: to take photos and record video and sound in the Kinora camera. Recordings are saved on your phone, or on a USB-C drive if you choose one.
• Speech recognition: to write captions of what is said in your videos. When your language is supported on the device, this runs entirely on your iPhone. When it isn't, Apple may process the sound on its servers to return the words, under Apple's Privacy Policy. We never receive it.
• USB drives: only if you choose to record to one, so the app can save files on it.

You can turn any of these off at any time in Settings > Kinora. The rest of the app keeps working.

How long we keep things

We keep a credit balance and its history for as long as it might be used, so your credits are there when you come back. It holds no personal information: only the random ID, numbers and dates. Because the ID isn't linked to you, we can't look up anyone's record from a name or email.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what information we hold about you, and to have it corrected or deleted. In practice we hold almost nothing: your work is on your phone, and our server knows only a random ID and its credits. Deleting the app removes the ID from your phone. If you have a question or a request, email us and we will help.

Children

Kinora is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from anyone, of any age.

Security

Everything sent over the internet is encrypted (HTTPS). The key that lets our server use Claude is kept only on the server, never in the app.

Changes to this policy

If a future version changes what the app sends or adds a new online feature, we will update this page before that version is released and change the date at the top.
