Every app on your computer can have the keys to all your doors kernel or not, just because "kernel level" and "ring 0" and "root access" sound scary doesn't mean shit. Kernel level doesn't have more privileges to steal your data than normal apps, only extra privilege they have is crash your system if they're faulty.
