Background Information

The Services allow Users the opportunity to track and report on work and personal activities in a manner of electronic time sheets. In the event that an Organization purchases a subscription to the Services, they will have access to aggregate reporting relating to usage of the Services by Users and other related analytics associated with their Organization. By default, Organizations will not have access to the content of Task Data of Users who create this content. If an Organization’s policies require access to this data, then KUY.io will comply. It is your responsibility to read and understand your Organization’s internal privacy policies.

International Data Processing

Information collected from Users will be processed by us and some of our affiliate services and service providers (“Sub-Processors”). A list of our current Sub-Processors is available here. We will take reasonably necessary steps, including contractual measures and other legal requirements, to ensure that your Personal Data is dealt with the same level of caution and care as described in this Privacy Policy. For residents of the European Economic Area, KUY.io generally processes Personal Data in order to fulfill contracts we have with the Organizations that are our customers and Users, as well as to pursue our legitimate business interests listed above. Otherwise, KUY.io will obtain consent from an Individual User in respect of processing of Personal Data.

Security

We take security seriously and have the necessary measures in place to protect and secure your data. No security system is perfect though and for this reason while we cannot guarantee the impenetrability of our systems, we do treat the protection of your data and security with the highest priority.

Types of Data We Collect

When using our Services, we collect information from you – some of which is considered “Personal Data” and can be used to identify you and some of which is “Anonymous Data” which is not linked in any identifiable individual. In the following sections, we will outline the details of what we collect and how:

Information You Provide

When you sign up, we create an account for you on our servers (“Account”) to access our Services. We will store information such as your first name, last name, job title, department and email address.

The Platform's primary objective is the creation, purchase, and management of license subscriptions for the Konnect™ software, and the creation and management of support requests relating to that software. After you sign up, we may ask you for billing and payment information including your address data, contact information and tax information (if applicable). The collection and validation of this data with our third-party sub-processors is required by law.

Further, to associate software and support licenses with your Konnect™ deployments, we will collect and store unique-identity data of the deployment, such as the server unique id.

Information Collected through Systems

Platform

We associate each software and support license with a Support Entitlement Number (SEN) that is also included in the license key information. The SEN uniquely binds each software and support license to you and your organization as the owner, and is also required to obtain support requests, proving eligibility for support during the active duration of the subscription period.

Servers

Our servers (hosted by Digital Ocean) collect information including the type of browser and O/S you use, your IP Address, domain name and the timing / duration of your visit to our Site. This information is collected to make our Services more useful to you.

Logs

We record some information from your interactions with our Services automatically in our logs. This data includes IP addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. This information is used to analyze trends and usage patterns all in an effort to better tailor our Services to your needs.

Cookies

KUY.io, the Platform and its partners use cookies or similar technologies to analyze trends, administer the website, track Users’ movements around the website, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.

We use “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web server. Cookies are not used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a Web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize pages on our Websites, or register for the Services, a cookie helps us to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. When you return to the same Website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the customized features.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Platform's Services when you visit. The Platform keeps track of the pages you visit within the Platform, in order to determine what portion of the Platform Services is the most popular or most used. This data is used to deliver customized content and promotions within the Platform Services to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

Pixel Tags

We use “Clear Gifs” also known as “Pixel Tags” similar to cookies to track the usage of our Services by Users. These “Clear Gifs” are effectively transparent images that allow us to glean some information about said usage. An example common use case is to use this technology to understand the open-rate of emails that we send to you. Ultimately, like cookies, we use this tool as another method to customize our offerings for our customers.

Analytics Software

We use some analytics services from third party vendors such as Google Analytics in order to analyze usage of our Services. These services utilize information that they retrieve from cookies on our Web Application or other information that we send them directly to provide us with aggregated analytics that we can use to perform our analysis. These analytics services will have their own privacy policies and terms of use. By using our Services, you are agreeing to the processing of this data by such analytics services.

Information Collected from Others

By creating your Platform account via a third-party identity provider (Google, Microsoft or Apple) you agree to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use of the respective service and the collection of data as outline in the respective documents provided by these service providers.

By providing payment information through our Payment Provider (Stripe), we collect address, billing and contact information in compliance with the PCI-DSS standard.

Information Collected from Your Organization

If your Organization becomes a customer of ours, we will create accounts for your usage of our Services. We may obtain from your Organization information about you such as your name, email address, title, department and reporting relationships.

Prospective Customers

We collect names, email addresses and other business contact information about individuals who represent our customers as well as individuals who we consider to be prospective customers and business partners (“Prospects”). We use the information to contact Prospects with information about KUY.io's products and services.

Use of Your Personal Data

Anonymous Data

We use anonymized data retrieved from our database (i.e. where personally identifiable information has been obfuscated) in order to create analytics that will help us surmise how to improve our Service. Some of the reports created with this anonymized data may be share with your Organization so that they can understand the overall usage of our product by their employees/constituents.
