📊 What Data We Process
We believe in transparency. Here's exactly what data ProtectKin accesses:
- Incoming messages only - We analyze messages your child receives, not what they send
- Sender information - Phone number or username of who sent the message
- Message content - Text content for AI safety analysis
- Timestamps - When messages were received
- Media indicators - Whether images/videos were sent (not the actual media)
📱 WhatsApp Integration
ProtectKin uses WhatsApp's official Linked Devices feature. This is the same secure method used by WhatsApp Web and Desktop.
Your child's end-to-end encryption remains intact. We receive messages as an authorized linked device, just like WhatsApp Web would.
🚫 What We DON'T Access
Privacy by design means limiting what we collect:
- Messages your child sends - We only analyze incoming messages
- Call logs or voice calls - We don't access any voice communications
- Location data - We never track your child's location
- Photos, videos, or media files - We don't store or view media content
- Other apps or browsing history - We only access the platforms you connect
- Contacts or phone book - We don't access the device's contact list
