Kindaba is on a mission to keep families connected. We are passionate about building an alternative, safe, and private space where all family members can feel confident and engaged sharing things with each other.
56% of parents prefer to keep their family photos and videos away from social media for reasons of privacy, according to a recent Ofcom report.
Parents tell us –
“I want to know that I own my own content, so that I never have to worry about it being sold or shared.”
“I want to stay in touch with my family, but I don’t want the whole world to see all my kids’ photos and details of where and when we have our family activities.”
“I don’t want to clog up my friend’s feeds, I want to share family updates with just my inner circle.”
It's not just privacy conscious parents who need an alternative to mainstream social media. Many professions require or advise social media restrictions, including:
Diplomatic professions
Military professions
Teachers
Police Officers
Public Figures
Foster Carers
