What Information is Shared

Kindship does not receive or store your provider password. The provider handles authentication directly.
Privacy Notes
Kindship's Access
Kindship only requests basic profile information. We don't access:
- Your contacts
- Your files
- Your private data
- Your provider password
Provider Visibility
The provider knows you've connected to Kindship. You can manage this in the provider's settings (e.g., Google account connected apps).
Revoking Access
You can revoke Kindship's access from the provider's side:
Google: Go to Google Account > Security > Third-party apps with account access
GitHub: Go to Settings > Applications > Authorized OAuth Apps
Revoking doesn't delete your Kindship account — you can still sign in with other methods.
Troubleshooting
Sign-In Failed
If the social sign-in fails:
- Try again — Temporary issues sometimes resolve on retry
- Check the provider — Make sure you can sign in to Google/GitHub directly
- Clear cookies — Browser issues can cause problems
- Try another browser — Rule out browser-specific issues
Wrong Account Connected
If you accidentally connected the wrong Google/GitHub account:
- Sign in to Kindship using another method
- Go to Settings > Security

Account Already Exists
If you see "Account already exists" when using social sign-in:

Email Mismatch
The email from the provider must match your Kindship account email. If they differ, you may need to:
- Sign in with the matching email method
- Update your Kindship email
- Contact support for help
Security Tips
Keep Provider Account Secure
Your provider account becomes a key to Kindship. Make sure it's protected:
- Use a strong password
- Enable two-factor authentication

Don't Share Provider Access
Anyone with access to your Google or GitHub account could sign in to your Kindship account.
Review Connected Apps Regularly
Periodically check what apps are connected to your Google/GitHub accounts. Remove any you no longer use.
Multiple Accounts
If you have multiple Google or GitHub accounts:
- Make sure you select the right one when signing in
