Kinvale: Terms of use
These terms apply to the Kinvale app ("the app"), published by Genesis Forge ("we", "us"). By installing or using the app you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the app. The privacy policy explains how information is handled.
The app
Kinvale is a family-tree app for recording people, relationships, memories and dates. We give you a personal, non-transferable permission to install and use the app on your own Android devices. The app, its design and its content remain ours. Google Play's terms also apply to apps you get from Google Play.
Free, with ads
The app is free to use and shows ads served by Google AdMob. We do not choose or endorse individual ads. Some ads are optional rewarded ads that you choose to watch in return for a benefit described in the app. Watching a rewarded ad gives 1 hour of Premium, up to 3 times a day.
Premium
Premium removes ads and adds several trees, voice memories, Capture, ailments and family health analysis, the family book PDF, merging a relative’s tree and adding dates to your phone’s calendar. Premium cannot be purchased yet. During testing it is free for everyone until 31 December 2026. If paid Premium is introduced later, the price and terms will be shown in the app before you buy, purchases will be handled by Google Play, and these terms will be updated.
Your data and your backups
The app has no account and no server. What you enter is stored on your device. That means you are responsible for keeping your own backups. If your phone is lost, reset or replaced, or the app is uninstalled, and you have no backup, we cannot recover your data, because we never have a copy. If you protect a backup with a password and forget it, we cannot recover that either.
Information about other people
A family tree contains details about relatives, living and dead. Add and share only information you are entitled to, and respect the wishes of family members, especially for contact details and health notes. You are responsible for what you share and with whom.
Health notes are not medical advice
Ailments and family health analysis are a record of what you enter. They are not a diagnosis or medical advice. Speak to a doctor about any health concern.
Using the app properly
Please do not use the app for anything unlawful, try to interfere with how it or its ads work, or copy, modify or redistribute it, except as the law allows.
No warranty
The app is provided "as is". We work to keep it accurate and reliable, but we do not promise that it will be free of errors or always available, or that reminders and notifications will always arrive on time, since these depend on your phone and its settings.
Limit of liability
To the extent the law allows, Genesis Forge is not liable for loss of data, or for any indirect or consequential loss, arising from your use of the app. Nothing in these terms removes rights that the law says cannot be removed.
Changes
We may update the app and these terms. The date at the top shows when the terms last changed. If you keep using the app after a change, the new terms apply.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of India.
