Kinect
Graded against 811 verified platforms, from its own policy text. Automated assessment against a published rubric — not legal advice.
No lens is bandable yet — banding requires fully verified documents with on-criteria findings. The gap is shown honestly, never estimated.
Partially verified: Privacy Policy assessed. Everything below comes only from what was read in full.
No verified risks yet
AIRIN has not published verified findings for this record yet. The page shows the gap instead of guessing.
How to read this page: Overall risk rates what Kinect's own policy terms mean for your prompts, outputs, and data. The benchmark bands below grade those same verified terms relative to peers — a platform in a risky-by-default category can rate HIGH risk and still grade STRONG against its peer set. Both trace to the cited findings.
Partially verified — Privacy Policy — Verified (read in full, 0 findings). Findings below are from fully-read, verified documents only; remaining core documents are pending capture.

Clause A states shopper messages are sent to AI model providers 'solely to generate a response,' while Clause B indicates the platform uses 'the information above' (including shopper messages) for broader purposes like 'improving the reliability and quality of the service' and 'building per-store knowledge,' which contradicts the 'solely' claim regarding the data's purpose.
" Kinect uses large language models to power the shopping assistant. Shopper messages and the relevant store context are sent to AI model providers through an AI gateway solely to generate a response. We rely on the following categories of subprocessors to deliver the service:"
" We use the information above to: provide and operate the AI shopping assistant and merchant dashboard; generate AI responses and product recommendations; build per-store knowledge and configuration so the assistant reflects the merchant’s catalog, voice, and policies; produce commerce analytics and insights for the merchant; maintain security, prevent abuse, and enforce rate limits; provide support and respond to inquiries; and improve the reliability and quality of the service. We do not sell personal information, and we do not use shopper data to build cross-merchant advertising profiles."
Within one documentClause A states shopper data is used 'solely to generate a response,' which directly contradicts Clause B's broader list of uses for the same data, including building per-store knowledge, producing commerce analytics, and improving service quality.
