Terms of Use

Effective date: June 4, 2026 · Version 1.0

Please read these terms before using Kyn. They explain what Kyn is, what it is not, and the rules that apply when you use it. If you have questions, write to us at hello@kyn.app.

1. Who we are

Kyn is a parenting companion app operated by Kyn Family Technologies Inc., a company incorporated in Ontario, Canada. When you use Kyn, you are agreeing to these terms with Kyn Family Technologies Inc.

Inside Kyn is a companion called Willow. Willow is an AI-powered guide — she draws on trusted Canadian health sources to answer questions and keep parents company, especially during the long overnight hours when support is hard to find.

2. What Kyn is — and what it is not

This is the most important section. Please read it carefully.

Kyn is:

  • An emotional support companion for parents of babies and young children
  • A guide to trusted Canadian health information from sources like the Canadian Paediatric Society and Health Canada
  • A tool to help you check for product recalls using official databases
  • Available 24/7 where service is operational — we aim for high availability but cannot guarantee uninterrupted access

Kyn is not:

  • A medical device, medical service, or healthcare provider
  • A replacement for your paediatrician, doctor, midwife, or nurse
  • A source of medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations
  • A crisis service — though Willow is designed to refer you to crisis resources when appropriate
  • A general-purpose AI assistant

Nothing Willow says should be taken as medical advice. If you have a health concern about your child, contact your paediatrician, call a nurse line (Canada: 8-1-1), or in an emergency, call 9-1-1.

3. Who can use Kyn

You must be 18 years of age or older to use Kyn. By using Kyn, you confirm that you meet this requirement. Kyn is designed for parents and caregivers of babies and young children in Canada.

4. Your account and subscription

Kyn offers a 7-day free trial. No credit card is required to start your trial. After the trial period, continued access requires a paid monthly subscription at the price shown at the time of purchase.

  • You may cancel your subscription at any time before your next billing date
  • Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period — you retain access until then
  • We do not offer refunds for partial billing periods
  • Subscription billing is handled by Stripe. By subscribing, you also agree to Stripe's terms of service
  • We reserve the right to change pricing with reasonable advance notice

5. How Willow works

Willow is powered by Claude, an AI model made by Anthropic. Her responses are generated based on your messages and a set of trusted Canadian health sources we have provided to her. She does not have access to the internet in general — only specific recall and safety databases when you ask about a product by name.

Willow's responses reflect the information available in her trusted sources at the time they were added. Health guidance can change. Always verify important health information with a qualified healthcare provider.

AI systems can make mistakes. Willow may occasionally produce information that is incomplete, outdated, or incorrect. We work to minimise this, but we cannot guarantee that every response will be accurate.

6. Your conversations

Your conversations with Willow are stored securely and used to provide continuity across sessions — so Willow can pick up where you left off. We do not sell your conversation data. We do not use your conversations to train AI models without your explicit consent.

You can request deletion of your conversation history at any time by writing to us at hello@kyn.app.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to use Kyn to:

  • Attempt to extract medical diagnoses or treatment plans
  • Try to manipulate Willow into acting outside her intended role
  • Share content that is harmful, abusive, or unlawful
  • Use Kyn for any commercial purpose without our written permission
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, copy, or replicate Kyn or Willow

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access for users who violate these rules.

8. Emergency situations

Kyn is not an emergency service. If you or your child are in immediate danger, call 9-1-1. Willow is designed to recognise emergency language and will direct you to call emergency services — but she cannot call on your behalf, dispatch help, or guarantee a timely response in an emergency.

If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please contact:

  • 9-8-8 Suicide Crisis Helpline — call or text 9-8-8 (Canada, 24/7)
  • Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741 (24/7)

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Kyn Family Technologies Inc. is not liable for any harm arising from your reliance on information provided by Willow. This includes but is not limited to: health outcomes, decisions made based on Willow's responses, or any harm resulting from delayed or incorrect information.

Kyn is provided "as is." We make no warranties, express or implied, about the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for purpose of Willow's responses.

10. Intellectual property

The Kyn name, Willow persona, app design, and all content we have created are owned by Kyn Family Technologies Inc. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our content without written permission.

The trusted health sources Willow draws from belong to their respective owners (Canadian Paediatric Society, Health Canada, etc.) and are used in accordance with their terms.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. If the changes are significant, we will notify you by email or through the app. Continuing to use Kyn after changes are posted means you accept the updated terms.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable in Ontario. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of Ontario.
