Safety

A location-sharing app can be misused. We would rather say so plainly and tell you what to do about it.

How to stop being located, right now

1. Pause sharing — Settings → Sharing. Takes effect immediately.
2. Leave the family — Family → your name → Leave. Their access ends at once.
3. Revoke devices — Settings → Devices. Signs out any device you no longer control.
4. Delete your history — Settings → Data & History.
5. Delete your account — Settings → Delete Account.

Before you change anything

If you are worried about how someone may react, consider whether a sudden change is safe for you. Someone monitoring you may notice that sharing stopped. A domestic violence advocate can help you plan — the hotline above is free, confidential, and available 24/7.

Check who can see you

Settings → Privacy Dashboard lists every time someone viewed your location, and who. If you see a name you do not recognise, or activity you did not expect, that is worth acting on.

What the app will never do

• Locate you without you turning sharing on yourself.
• Hide that sharing is active, or hide a live-tracking session.
• Let anyone add you to a family without you accepting an invitation.
• Keep sharing after you pause, leave, or delete.

If the app is not behaving this way, that is a serious bug and we want to know: security@kinmap.app.

Reporting misuse

You can report an account or a family from inside the app, or email support@kinmap.app. You do not need to stay in a family to make a report.
