Kimoyo App Privacy Policy

Thank you for using Kimoyo ("the App"). Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to protecting any data that may be processed while using our app. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle user data, the permissions required for the App's functionality, and your rights regarding your information.

1. Information We Collect

Kimoyo does not collect, store, or share personal data. Users are not required to sign up or provide personal details. Instead, they are assigned random PINs to access pre-assigned accounts. The App does not track or log user interactions beyond the immediate session.

You can contact Kimoyo Insights in the following ways:

2. How We Use Your Information

The App accesses the device camera solely for the purpose of scanning barcodes. The scanned data is processed locally on the device and is not transmitted to any external servers or third parties. We do not collect, store, or share any images, scanned data, or metadata from your camera.

3. Permissions Required

To function properly, the App requires the following device permissions:

Camera Access: This is necessary for scanning barcodes and QR codes. The camera is only used in real-time during scanning and does not capture or store images.

Internet Access: If enabled, the App may connect to external databases to verify barcode information. However, this feature does not collect personal user data.

4. Data Security

Since the App does not collect personal information, there is no risk of your data being stored, misused, or shared with third parties. We implement industry-standard security measures to ensure the integrity and safety of any temporary data processed by the App.

5. User Rights & Data Deletion

Although we do not collect personal data, users have the right to have their activities on the app erased upon request. If you wish to delete your usage history or any related data, you may contact us at:

Email: privacy@kimoyo.co
Engineering: engineering@kimoyo.co

Requests for data deletion will be processed within 7 business days. As we do not store user information, deletion will involve removing any temporary session data associated with the user's random PIN.

6. Third-Party Services

The App integrates with Barcode Lookup, a third-party service that provides product information, images, and pricing for scanned barcodes. This database sources information from manufacturers, distributors, and retailers worldwide. If the App includes an optional barcode lookup feature, it may interact with third-party databases. Users will be informed beforehand, and no personal data will be shared.

7. Children's Privacy

The App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. As we do not collect personal data, we do not knowingly store or process information related to minors.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect improvements or changes in legal requirements. Any modifications will be reflected in this document, and users will be notified of significant changes through an in-app alert or email communication. We encourage users to review this policy from time to time.
