Ethical Statement

Applies to: kanbaroo.co.uk and kanbaroo.app

At Kanbaroo, we believe that technology should empower people — not exploit them. Our commitment to ethical design, privacy, and transparency guides every aspect of how we build, host, and maintain our products and services across kanbaroo.co.uk and kanbaroo.app.

1. Privacy and Data Ownership

Kanbaroo is designed to function primarily offline, ensuring your data remains yours alone. We do not collect analytics, track users, or require accounts. All boards and projects created within the Kanbaroo App are stored locally on your device or within an optional file entirely under your control.

2. Transparency

We believe in open and understandable design. Where data is stored, how it behaves offline, and how features operate are all made clear to the user. No part of Kanbaroo hides functionality, monetisation, or telemetry behind opaque systems.

3. No Exploitation or Manipulation

Kanbaroo contains no advertising, dark patterns, or engagement traps. Our products are designed to respect your time and attention — not to capture it. We avoid persuasive design practices that pressure or manipulate users into certain behaviours.

4. Accessibility and Inclusion

We aim to make Kanbaroo usable by everyone, regardless of age, ability, or device. Our design practices prioritise legible text, simple layouts, and offline compatibility. Accessibility features continue to evolve based on feedback and testing.

5. Environmental Considerations

By designing for offline use and minimising server dependencies, Kanbaroo reduces unnecessary network load and energy consumption. The app is built to operate efficiently on both modern and lower-powered devices, extending hardware lifespan and reducing waste.

6. Fair Use and Community Integrity

We trust our users to use Kanbaroo responsibly. While we do not host user data, we discourage the use of the platform for unethical or unlawful purposes, including harassment, exploitation, or dissemination of harmful content.

7. Ongoing Responsibility

Our ethical stance is an ongoing commitment. As technologies, laws, and expectations evolve, so too will Kanbaroo’s policies and design principles — always maintaining user respect, transparency, and independence at the forefront.
