# find your face.

On Kindredly nobody sees a photo of you. Your face is a drawing, and only your kindreds ever see it. Tell us a few words about yourself and find the closest one.

These come from the 50 faces drawn for Kindredly, and in the app you can pick any of them. Once you've joined, you can also make your own from a photo or a few words: you get three drawings in this same style and keep one. The first one is free, the photo is never stored, and only your kindreds ever see it.

## how your face works

1. **pick one of ours** — 50 faces drawn for Kindredly. Pick any of them, change it whenever you like.
2. **or make your own** — From a photo or a few words, you get three drawings in this same style and keep the one that's you. The first one is free; First Class draws more.
3. **the photo is never stored** — It's used once to draw your face, then dropped. Only the drawing is kept.
4. **only kindreds see it** — Strangers and pen pals never see your face. It shows only once you've both enclosed your names, after five letters each: then you're kindreds.

## face questions, answered.

### Do I have to use a real photo?

### Who sees my face?

Only your kindreds: people you've both enclosed your names with, after five letters each. Strangers and pen pals never see it, and nobody ever sees a photo of you.
