Privacy Policy

Effective: October 31, 2022

This Privacy Policy describes how Knowby collects, uses and discloses information, and what choices you have with respect to the information.

Updates in this version of the Privacy Policy reflect changes in data protection law. In addition, we have worked to make the Privacy Policy clearer and more understandable by:

When we refer to “Knowby”, we mean the Knowby entity that acts as the controller or processor of your information, as explained in more detail in the “Identifying the Data Controller and Processor” section below.

 

Applicability Of This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to Knowby's online task instructional tools and platform, including the associated Knowby mobile and desktop applications (collectively, the “Services”), Knowby app and other Knowby websites (collectively, the “Websites”) and other interactions (e.g., Organisation service inquiries, user conferences, etc.) you may have with Knowby. If you do not agree with the terms, do not access or use the Services, Websites or any other aspect of Knowby’s business.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to any third party applications or software that integrate with the Services through the Knowby platform (“Third Party Services”), or any other third party products, services or businesses. In addition, a separate agreement governs delivery, access and use of the Services (the “Customer Agreement”), including the processing of any messages, files or other content submitted through Services accounts (collectively, “Customer Data”). The organisation (e.g., your organisation or another entity or person) that entered into the Customer Agreement (“Customer”) controls their instance of the Services (their “Organisation”) and any associated Organisation Data. If you have any questions about specific Organisation settings and privacy practices, please contact the Organisation you use. If you have received an invitation to join an Organisation but have not yet created an account, you should request assistance from the Organisation that sent the invitation.

 

Information We Collect And Receive

Knowby may collect and receive Organisation Data and other information and data (“Other Information”) in a variety of ways:

Generally, no one is under a statutory or contractual obligation to provide any Customers Data or Other Information (collectively, “Information”). However, certain Information is collected automatically and, if some Information, such as Organisation setup details, is not provided, we may be unable to provide the Services.

 

How We Use Information

Customers Data will be used by Knowby in accordance with Customers’s instructions, including any applicable terms in the Customer Agreement and Customers’s use of Services functionality, and as required by applicable law. Knowby is a processor of Customers Data and Customers is the controller. Customers may, for example, use the Services to grant and remove access to an Organisation, assign roles and configure settings, access, modify, export, share and remove Customers Data and otherwise apply its policies to the Services.

Knowby uses Other Information in furtherance of our legitimate interests in operating our Services, Websites and business. More specifically, Knowby uses Other Information:

If Information is aggregated or de-identified so it is no longer reasonably associated with an identified or identifiable natural person, Knowby may use it for any business purpose. To the extent Information is associated with an identified or identifiable natural person and is protected as personal data under applicable data protection law, it is referred to in this Privacy Policy as “Personal Data.”

 

Data Retention

Knowby will retain Customer Data in accordance with a Customer’s instructions, including any applicable terms in the Customer Agreement and Customer’s use of Services functionality, and as required by applicable law. Depending on the Services plan, Customer may be able to customize its retention settings and apply those customized settings at the Customer level, channel level or other level. Customer may also apply different settings to messages, files or other types of Customer Data. The deletion of Customer Data and other use of the Services by Customer may result in the deletion and/or de-identification of certain associated Other Information. Knowby may retain Other Information pertaining to you for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. This may include keeping your Other Information after you have deactivated your account for the period of time needed for Knowby to pursue legitimate business interests, conduct audits, comply with (and demonstrate compliance with) legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.

 

How We Share And Disclose Information

This section describes how Knowby may share and disclose Information. Customers determine their own policies and practices for the sharing and disclosure of Information, and Knowby does not control how they or any other third parties choose to share or disclose Information.

 

Security

Knowby takes security of data very seriously. Knowby works hard to protect Other Information you provide from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access or disclosure. These steps take into account the sensitivity of the Other Information we collect, process and store, and the current state of technology. Given the nature of communications and information processing technology, Knowby cannot guarantee that Information, during transmission through the Internet or while stored on our systems or otherwise in our care, will be absolutely safe from intrusion by others.

 

Age Limitations

To the extent prohibited by applicable law, Knowby does not allow use of our Services and Websites by anyone younger than 13 years old. If you learn that anyone younger than 13 has unlawfully provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will take steps to delete such information.

 

Changes To This Privacy Policy

Knowby may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. Laws, regulations and industry standards evolve, which may make those changes necessary, or we may make changes to our business. We will post the changes to this page and encourage you to review our Privacy Policy to stay informed. If we make changes that materially alter your privacy rights, Knowby will provide additional notice, such as via email or through the Services. If you disagree with the changes to this Privacy Policy, you should deactivate your Services account. Contact the Customer if you wish to request the removal of Personal Data under their control.

 

International Data Transfers Privacy Shield And Contractual Terms

Knowby may transfer your Personal Data to countries other than the one in which you live. We deploy the following safeguards if Knowby transfers Personal Data originating from the European Union or Switzerland to other countries not deemed adequate under applicable data protection law:

Individuals located in certain countries, including the European Economic Area, have certain statutory rights in relation to their personal data. Subject to any exemptions provided by law, you may have the right to request access to Information, as well as to seek to update, delete or correct this Information. You can usually do this using the settings and tools provided in your Services account. If you cannot use the settings and tools, contact Customer for additional access and assistance.

To the extent that Knowby’s processing of your Personal Data is subject to the General Data Protection Regulation, Knowby relies on its legitimate interests, described above, to process your data. Knowby may also process Other Information that constitutes your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes and you have a right to object to Knowby’s use of your Personal Data for this purpose at any time.
