What Kissend stores, and why

A chat product stores enough to deliver messages and to sign you back in. This page separates that storage from the locks you use on a shared phone.

In the app

A private chat, with the locks.

  • A username instead of your phone number.
  • App lock, a hidden list, and a decoy PIN.
  • A vault for files, away from the gallery.
  • Friend chats and groups are free.

The account

An account has a name, email, username, and the profile fields you choose to fill in. Sessions record devices so you can sign one out. Token credits and debits are stored with a reason. Vault files live in your library until you delete them.

A guest on the website has a name, a gender, a token balance, and the text chat in that browser. Claiming an account carries the open chat and the balance into the new profile.

The controls that are yours

App lock, hidden chats, decoy PIN, chat PIN, blur, mute, disappearing messages, view-once, and quiet hours change what a person holding the phone can see. They do not erase the fact that a message was sent through the service.

You can delete the account from the profile screen. A downloadable copy of all account data is not offered in the app today.

A few quick answers before your first chat. The app has its own screens after you claim an account.

Where is the legal detail?

The privacy policy describes guest data, account data, and payments. This page is the product view of the same idea.

Do you sell my contact list?

Kissend does not upload a phone contact list, because it does not ask for your phone number or your address book.
