Privacy Policy

Kava Protect Protocol November 10, 2023

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") outlines the practices of the Kava Protect Protocol's developers (referred to as "we," "our," or "the Company") in terms of collecting, managing, sharing, and safeguarding user ("you") information. It's important to note that this Policy is specific to Kava Protect Protocol and does not extend to other products or websites managed by the company. We recommend our users revisit this Policy regularly, as it may undergo changes. For those who have opted to receive notifications, any updates to this Policy might be communicated via email, in-app messages, or other communication channels.

DATA WE DO NOT COLLECT

Firstly, let’s clarify the data that we expressly do not gather:

WE DO NOT COLLECT:

We do not capture or retain any data pertaining to the use of Kava Protect Protocol, which includes information about the apps, platforms, or websites you visit while connected to our service. This means that both your original IP address and the IPs of the servers you connect to are not recorded during service use. Furthermore, DNS requests remain untracked and unrecorded when using Kava Protect Protocol.

DATA WE COLLECT

Dedicated to internet privacy and security, ensuring our users’ privacy is our foremost concern. We value clear and transparent operations and view trust as an essential component of our relationship with users. For clarity, we have categorized the data we collect to help you easily understand the types of information we gather, the methods of collection, and the reasons behind it.

ACCOUNT DATA

The moment you create an account, the registration date (for example, 2018-09-01) is automatically logged.

As soon as a user subscribes or makes a purchase, their subscription period (such as 2018/09/01 - 2018/10/01) is automatically noted.

It's important to understand that this information is gathered solely for the purpose of providing user support.

AGGREGATED DATA

Each time the Kava Protect Protocol app is used, we collect data on the operating system.

The specific version of the Kava Protect Protocol app (like Version 6.1_132_432908b) is documented at app start-up.

The number of daily active users (for instance, 2018/09/01-19,000,000) is logged every time the app is accessed.

User geodemographic details are sourced from the App Store and Google Play Store (e.g., US-100,000,000).

This data collection is pivotal for us to better comprehend our user base and strategically enhance our product for improved customer satisfaction.

VPN CONNECTION INFORMATION

Details about the server location used for the VPN connection (such as US-California Server 1) are automatically tracked.

A timestamp indicating the VPN connection time (like Connected@15:30 2018-05-15) is also automatically logged.

Should there be any interruptions or technical issues with the VPN connection, error details (e.g., Error_Userdoesnotallowconfiguration) are immediately recorded for analysis.

Data regarding the type of network in use (such as 4G) is collected by an analytics service.

All of this information is AUTOMATICALLY AND IRREVOCABLY REMOVED from our systems after a 96-hour period. The primary aim of this data collection is to refine our VPN services and assist in troubleshooting efficiently.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

During your use of Kava Protect Protocol, we compile analytical data, which includes app crash reports and metrics related to in-app user activity. Additionally, we gather data associated with advertising, like the iOS ad identifier (IDFA) and the Android master ad identifier.

This information is vital for assessing the effectiveness of the Kava Protect Protocol app and its diverse functionalities. It also plays a crucial role in providing the necessary support to maintain the operation of our complimentary VPN service. We assure you that this data is kept confidential and is not passed on to external advertising entities.
