Most social and dating apps make money by keeping you hooked, harvesting your personal details, and selling your private life to advertisers. kiki is built differently. This page is our plain-English manifesto on data privacy, business ethics, and how we run this platform.
We built kiki because we were tired of corporate apps that treat community as a resource to be mined. Dating and social connections ought to feel safe, clear, and human. This document is our binding handshake with you, outlining every promise we make regarding your data, your money, and your privacy.
You will never see an advertisement, sponsored profile, or banner ad on kiki.
Traditional apps construct algorithms designed to keep you scrolling endlessly because every extra minute generates ad impressions for corporate sponsors. On kiki, our sole objective is helping you meet people and build community in real life. Because you pay a flat access fee, our incentives align with your actual happiness rather than your screen time.
We do not sell, rent, broker, or share your personal information with anyone, period.
Your profile details, preference choices, and conversation history stay strictly inside kiki. We do not partner with third-party data brokers, ad networks, or corporate tracking firms to monetize your identity. Who you are and who you talk to is nobody else's business.
We store your profile details, active messages, and preferences, and we never ask for invasive device permissions.
To run kiki smoothly, we store the basic information you choose to share: your profile text, photos, active chats, and settings. What we never ask for is just as important: we never request access to your smartphone contacts, we do not record or track your continuous location history, and we never request access to your microphone. You decide what to share, and we never look beyond that.
You control your conversation history, and when you delete a message, it is permanently erased.
When you delete a chat or remove your account, that content is removed from our active databases rather than saved in secret backup vaults. To be completely transparent, kiki does not offer end-to-end encryption because messages process through our operational servers to deliver chats and prevent harassment. However, we treat your data like it matters, safeguarding all stored records with strong modern encryption and careful database practices.
kiki costs $9.99 once per 30 days, with zero auto-renewals, zero surprise charges, and zero paywalled features.
We despise hidden recurring billing and deceptive cancellation flows just as much as you do. When your 30 days are up, access simply expires unless you choose to buy another pass. There are no paywalled upsells like paying to see who liked your profile, no artificial chat limits, and no trick paywalls. You receive total access for 30 days, plain and simple.
We permanently ban accounts involved in harassment, hate speech, non-consensual media, impersonation, or commercial spam.
A healthy dating and social space requires firm and predictable standards. Moderation on kiki is handled directly and fairly without algorithmic shadowbans or arbitrary enforcement. If someone compromises the safety or dignity of another member, they are removed from the platform immediately so everyone else can connect in peace.
kiki is designed, built, and maintained by one independent developer who wanted a clean, honest, and respectful home for gay men and the broader LGBTQ+ community. There are no venture capital investors or corporate boards forcing monetization pivots behind closed doors. We believe software should serve people, not exploit them.
If we ever break this promise, hold us to it: customerservice@kiki.gay.
