Add-on · $15 a year
The poster remembers.
Now let it remind you.
You’ve already gathered every birthday that matters and hung them on the wall. Birthday reminders put that same list to work: a short email 3 days before each one, so the date never sneaks up on you again.
Offered as a one-click add-on when you buy a print. Cancel any time — and cancelling deletes everything we stored.

Cancelling in Shopify removes your stored reminder data.
Setting it up
It arrives already set up
There is no onboarding, no import, no form to fill in. The people on your ring are the people on your list from the moment you check out — each one carrying the colour they occupy on the poster.
- Add anyone, on or off the poster — up to 30 people.
- Fix a spelling or a date in two clicks; it applies to the next email.
- Sign in with a code sent to your email — no password to remember.
- Billing and cancellation live in your Shopify account, one link away.
How it works
From checkout to the first reminder
01
Tick the box at checkout
Reminders are offered once, as you buy your poster. One click adds them to the same order — the people and dates already on your ring come with it, so there is nothing to type twice.
02
We confirm what we stored
A confirmation email arrives straight away listing every name and date we hold, so you can check it in a glance. It also spells out that cancelling deletes the lot.
03
A note 3 days ahead
Then, quietly, once per birthday: a short email with who it is and when — early enough to order a gift, book a table, or just pick up the phone on the day.
04
Change it whenever you like
Sign in to add someone new, fix a spelling, or take a name off. No password to remember, and the poster on your wall stays exactly as it is.
Where the line is
Other people’s birthdays, handled carefully
To send a reminder we have to keep your family’s names and dates on our server — the one part of Kinring where that’s true. So here is exactly what we do with them.
Your family is never contacted
The reminders go to you and no one else. We don’t ask for your family’s email addresses, because we never need them — the whole point is that you are the one who remembers.
Cancel deletes the data
Cancelling isn’t just an end to the billing. The stored names and birth dates are permanently deleted with it, and we say so in every email we send you.
Nothing else lands in your inbox
This is not a mailing list. You get the confirmation, the birthday reminders, and the round-birthday heads-up. There is no newsletter, and we don’t sell your address.
The full detail is in our privacy policy.
Questions
Everything else you might be wondering
What exactly are birthday reminders?
An optional yearly add-on to your poster. Every birthday you put on the ring becomes a quiet email that reaches you 3 days before the day — enough notice to actually do something about it.
It’s the same list of people, doing a second job. You already told us who matters and when they were born to make the print; this simply keeps that list working for you all year.
How much does it cost?
$15 a year, billed annually alongside your poster, and you can cancel any time. The exact price and currency are shown at checkout before you agree to anything — that figure is always the authoritative one.
Can I buy reminders on their own, without a poster?
Not at the moment. Reminders are offered as an add-on while you’re buying a print, because they’re built from the family you just designed onto the ring.
I already bought a poster and skipped the offer. Can I still add it?
Yes — email hello@kinringposter.com and we’ll set it up for you. You’ll also be offered it again next time you order a print.
When do the emails arrive?
3 days before each birthday, sent early in the morning European time. If two people share a date — twins, or a coincidence — you get one email listing both, not two separate ones.
What is the round-birthday email?
A second, earlier heads-up. About 30 days before someone turns 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100, we let you know — because a print that needs designing, framing and posting can’t be arranged three days out.
It only goes out when we know the person’s birth year, and your normal reminder still arrives a few days before the day itself.
Will you email my family?
Never. Only you — the person who bought it — receives anything. We don’t collect your family’s email addresses at all, so there is nothing to send even by accident.
How do I add or remove people?
Sign in to your account page and edit the list directly: add someone, correct a spelling, change a date, or remove a name. Changes take effect straight away.
You can keep up to 30 people on a subscription, and they don’t all have to be on the poster — colleagues, godchildren and neighbours are welcome on the list even if they never made it onto the ring.
Do I need a password?
No. Signing in sends a code to your email address — the same account system Shopify uses for your order. There is no Kinring password to forget.
Do you need birth years?
Only if you want them. The day and month are all a reminder needs. Adding the year lets the email say which birthday it is — “turns 40” rather than just the date — and it’s what makes the round-birthday heads-up possible.
What if I have more than one poster?
Each poster’s reminders are managed separately on the same page, one card each, so a print you made for your partner’s side of the family stays its own list.
What do you store, and where?
The names, birth dates and family connections from your poster, plus your email address. That’s stored on our own server in Europe — which is a real change from the poster itself, where your family’s details never leave your browser.
The full detail is in our privacy policy, under birthday reminders.
How do I cancel, and what happens to my data?
Cancel from your Shopify account page — the same place your billing lives — or use the link at the bottom of any reminder email. Cancelling stops the renewal and permanently deletes the stored names and birth dates.
Your poster is unaffected. It’s yours, printed and on your wall, and nothing about cancelling reaches back to it.
What if the reminders end up in spam?
Add reminders@mail.kinringposter.com to your contacts when the confirmation arrives, and later emails will land in your inbox. If one goes missing, check your spam folder and drag it out — that teaches your mail provider to trust the rest.
Make the poster. Add the reminders at the end.
Design your ring first — it takes a few minutes and costs nothing to try. Reminders are offered once, at checkout, for $15 a year.
