KROHN

Privacy Policy

Krohn ("Krohn", "we", "us") is a professional networking app that helps people build and share their network of contacts. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using Krohn you agree to this policy.

Information you provide

• Account & sign-in: your name, email address and/or phone number, and (if you use them) Google Sign-In or email/SMS verification codes. We store a hashed password only if you set one.
• Profile: profile photo, LinkedIn URL, current employer, and an optional note you add to your card.
• Professional details: the industries you choose (and the points you allocate to them) and the ways you say you can help others.
• Connections & notes: the people you connect with, contacts shared with you, and any private notes you write about a contact.

How we use your information

• To create your account, sign you in, and keep you signed in.
• To show your card to people you connect with and to power discovery by industry.
• To let you connect via QR code and to share or invite contacts by SMS or email at your request.
• To operate, maintain, and improve the app.

Sharing of information

• With people you connect with: your card (name, photo, employer, LinkedIn, industries, "can help with", and — if you choose to show it — your phone) is visible to your connections.
• When you share or invite: if you share a contact or invite someone by SMS or email, we send that message to the recipient you specify. The person who invites someone is added as a contact when the invitee joins.
• Private notes you write about a contact are visible only to you.

Card-sharing activity logs

To keep Krohn safe and to prevent abuse and fraud, we keep a log of card-sharing activity. When a card is shared, we record:

• Who shared the card and with whom it was shared.
• When the share happened.
• The custom message you include with the share, if any.

These logs are used only for security, abuse prevention, and fraud prevention. They are accessible only to authorized administrators, are not used for advertising or any other purpose, and are retained only as long as needed for abuse prevention and account safety.

Service providers

We use trusted third parties to run Krohn, including:

• Twilio — sending SMS verification codes and invites.
• Postmark — sending email.
• Google — Sign in with Google.
• OpenRouter / Anthropic — AI features that suggest industry categories and refine your "can help with" descriptions. Only the text needed for the suggestion is sent.
• Microsoft Azure — hosting and database.

These providers process data on our behalf to deliver the service.

Legal requests

Your information on Krohn is private. We do not sell it, and we do not share your personal information with anyone except as described in this policy.

We will comply with valid court orders. However, we cannot and will not turn over your personal information without a court order.

Data retention & deletion

We keep your information for as long as your account is active. You can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us at the address below.

Security

We use reasonable technical measures (including encrypted connections) to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Children

Krohn is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the updated version here with a new "Last updated" date.
