This privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") governs how ITANU STUDIOS LTD ("ITANU Studios", the "Company", "we", "our" or "us") use, collect and store Personal Data we collect or receive from or about you ("you") in connection with KolHive via https://kolhive.com/ (the "Websites") or through our KolHive applications, extensions and plug-ins for supported mobile, desktop and web platforms (together, the "App"), or through our APIs and supported integrations (the Websites, the App, APIs and integrations collectively, "KolHive"), such as in the following use cases:
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully, so you can understand our practices and your rights in relation to personal data. "Personal Data" or "Personal Information" means any information that can be used, alone or together with other data, to uniquely identify any living human being and any information deemed as Personally Identifiable Information by privacy laws.
Important note: Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to limit in any way your statutory right, including your rights to a remedy or means of enforcement.
Some provisions of this Privacy Policy apply only where the relevant law applies to you or to our processing of your Personal Data. Nothing in this Privacy Policy limits rights or remedies provided by applicable law.
In short:
- We use your Personal Data to provide KolHive to you, to keep it secure, and as described below. We do not sell your Personal Data, we do not share it for advertising, and KolHive does not show ads.
- When you use a cloud AI feature, the content needed for that request is sent to our processing infrastructure and contracted cloud-computing and AI-processing service providers. The service terms for our managed AI processing restrict use of your content for model training without our permission, and we have not given that permission.
- We do not use your content to train AI models.
- You can delete your chats, files and account at any time. Records of your AI requests on our servers are deleted 30 days after each request, or sooner when you delete the chat.
Shared ITANU account: KolHive OS and KolWrite (available at https://kolwrite.com/) are products of the Company and use a single shared ITANU account. Personal Data associated with your account — such as your profile details, files, transcripts, preferences, and settings — may be synchronized between the two products so that your account works seamlessly across them. Such data remains within the Company's systems and is processed under this Privacy Policy and the KolWrite Privacy Policy (https://kolwrite.com/tos_pp.html#privacy). Deleting your account applies to the shared account and to both products.
This Privacy Policy can be updated from time to time. If we make significant changes to how we use your Personal Data, we will tell you through KolHive or by email before the changes apply to you, and we will ask for your consent where the law requires it. KolHive is owned and operated by the Company, an Israeli company, which is the data controller. You can contact us about privacy at info@kolhive.com.
You are not required by law to give us Personal Data. Some features cannot work without it; each section below says what happens if you do not provide it.
Data we collect: Technical information that your browser sends when it loads our pages, such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you request, and the language, theme and accessibility choices you make, which are stored in your browser.
Purpose:
Third parties we share with: Contracted website-hosting, content-delivery and security service providers, including bot-prevention services that check sign-up forms. These services operate internationally as described in section 4.
Consequences of not providing: If your browser does not store your choices, the Website will not remember them.
Data we collect:
Purpose:
Third parties we share with: Our contracted authentication service, which handles sign-in, passwords and email verification, and the sign-in service you choose.
Consequences of not providing: Cannot create an account, cannot log in, cannot enjoy all the features of KolHive.
Data we collect:
Purpose:
Third parties we share with: Our contracted business-email service provider, and the social-media or other platforms you choose to contact us on.
Consequences of not providing: Cannot process and answer questions, cannot provide support.
Data we collect:
Purpose:
Third parties we share with: Contracted email-delivery and bot-prevention service providers, which deliver our emails and check that the sign-up is not made by a bot. These services operate internationally as described in section 4.
Consequences of not providing: Cannot send you marketing communications or launch updates.
Data we collect:
Purpose:
Third parties we share with: PayPal for purchases made on our Websites or apps, Apple and Google Play for purchases made through their stores, and accounting and tax advisers where required by law. Your full payment-card details are handled by the payment provider and are not stored on our servers.
Consequences of not providing: We may be unable to process the purchase or refund, calculate taxes, or issue a required tax document.
Data we collect:
How we collect it: When you record, upload or attach content, enter text, select content for processing, or otherwise ask KolHive to process your content. We collect technical request information automatically when a feature is used.
Purpose:
Third parties we share with: Your content is stored on our servers, hosted by a contracted infrastructure provider in Germany, and with contracted file-storage service providers operating internationally. Processing that needs specialised hardware, such as speech recognition, speaker separation and video rendering, runs on GPU computers we operate ourselves in Israel or on contracted cloud GPU servers in other countries, using models we operate. AI features send the content needed for each request to the cloud-computing and AI-processing service providers described in "How AI features use your content" below. The processing locations are described in section 4. When you share content, the people you share it with receive it.
Consequences of not providing: Cannot provide you with the Outputs, generated artifacts, app-building features, or workspace functionality.
Data we collect:
Purpose:
Third parties we share with: Other players in the same game see your display name, your game-specific player ID and what the app shares in the game. When "Direct connections in multiplayer games" is on (the default), your device may connect directly to other players' devices for faster play; those players can then see your device's IP address, and public network-connection service providers see it while the connection is set up. You can turn direct connections off in Settings; games then run only through our servers.
Voice chat and video: Voice chat and video are off until you turn them on in an app. Your voice (only while you hold the talk button) and your camera picture (only while video is on) go directly from your device to the devices of the players the app lets you talk with (for example, your party), encrypted in transit. They do not pass through KolHive's servers, and KolHive does not record or store them. Other players in the same game do not receive them. If your device cannot connect directly to another player's device, voice chat and video with that player are not available. You can mute or block a player at any time and turn voice chat or video off in the app; your device's microphone and camera permissions stay under your control in your device or browser settings.
Voice commands in apps: Some apps you use in KolHive, such as games, let you control them by speaking. When you turn this on, your speech is recognized on your device by KolHive's built-in speech engine; the audio is not recorded, stored or sent to us or to other players, and only the resulting command (for example, the word you said) is used by the app. You can turn it off at any time in the app's settings, and your device's microphone permission stays under your control.
Retention: Game messages are passed on and not stored. Shared game state is kept for up to 7 days after its last change (24 hours for public games); invite codes expire, and permission to rejoin a friend's game lasts 30 days. Voice and video are not stored.
Consequences of not providing: Cannot play online with other people. Turning off direct connections keeps online play available through our servers.
The KolHive assistant and other AI features are AI systems, not people. AI can make mistakes, so check important information.
What is sent and when: When you use a cloud AI feature, KolHive sends the content needed for that request, such as your message, the relevant part of the conversation, files or extracts you attach or select, the workspace context the feature needs, and technical request information, to the provider that runs the AI model. It is sent only when you use the feature. Features that run on your device, such as on-device transcription, do not send your content to these providers.
Who processes it:
No training on your content: We do not use your content to train AI models. Our managed cloud AI service terms restrict providers from using content to train or fine-tune AI models without our permission, or, for paid API processing, from using prompts or responses to improve their products. We have not given permission or opted into provider training.
What providers keep: These providers may keep content for a short time to run the service, including caches that speed up answers (up to 24 hours for a managed cloud AI cache), and logs to detect abuse of their services (up to 30 days for a direct cloud AI API), as their terms allow. We have not turned on optional logging of requests and answers in our managed cloud AI projects.
"Help improve KolWrite and KolHive": This setting, under Settings, Security, lets you tell us whether we may use your conversations to improve our products. We do not use conversations for this today. If we start, we will update this Privacy Policy first and will use only the conversations of people who have this setting on.
Providers you choose: If you connect your own AI provider account or API key, or use a local or command-line AI tool, the content needed for that request is sent from your device to that provider or tool, under your own agreement with it. A tool running on your device may itself communicate with external services.
AI apps you connect (optional): You can let another AI app use your KolHive account, in two ways. On a computer, you can connect an AI app that runs on that computer (for example Claude Code, Codex or Cursor) in KolHive's settings. Online, you can add KolHive in an AI service such as ChatGPT or Claude and sign in to KolHive there. Either way you choose what the app may do, and it can then read and act on your KolHive content (such as files, notes, transcripts, share links and your credit balance) within that access. What the app reads is sent to the company that runs it, which handles it under your agreement with that company and as its own controller. That company may process it outside Israel or your country, including in countries whose data protection laws differ from yours; this transfer happens at your request, to provide the connection you asked for. We do not control those apps or companies and they are not our service providers.
Connecting an app is your choice and is not needed to use KolHive. If you do not connect one, nothing else changes; that app simply cannot use your KolHive content.
Data we collect: For apps connected online: the app's name, website and sign-in return addresses as the app reports them, the access you chose and whether it may spend your credits, sign-in tokens (stored only as a one-way cryptographic hash), and a record of each action the app takes (which action, when, whether it worked, how long it took and any credits it spent). For apps on your computer: the app's key (stored only as a one-way hash), the access you chose and a list of its recent actions stay on that computer, except when the app uses our online features (such as your cloud files, credit balance or cloud transcription), which reach us like any request from KolHive. Our connection records do not include the content of your files, notes or transcripts; content an app creates, edits, transcribes or imports is stored in your account as usual. If an app asks KolHive to import a file from a web link, we fetch that link for you.
Purpose and legal basis: to provide the connection you asked for (performing our agreement with you), and to show you what each app did, prevent misuse and keep the service secure (our legitimate interests). When an app starts cloud transcription, we bill it to your account as described below.
Credits: an app can spend your credits only on cloud transcription, and only if you allowed spending for that app. Once allowed, the app may start paid transcription after we tell it the price, without asking you again, and that usage is charged to your credits. You can turn spending off at any time.
Retention: the record of an online app's actions is kept for 90 days. Sign-in tokens expire (access within an hour, renewal within 30 days), and disconnecting the app revokes them so it cannot make new requests; the connection's details are deleted within 90 days after that. On your computer, the app's record is deleted when you remove the app.
Your choice and rights: you can see and disconnect every connected app at any time in Settings, AI apps. Disconnecting stops new access; it does not remove what the app's company already received, which is governed by your agreement with that company. Your privacy rights (including, where the law gives them, to access, correct, delete or restrict your personal data, to object to processing based on our legitimate interests, and to complain to a data protection authority) and how to contact us are described elsewhere in this policy.
Data we collect: Depending on what you connect: your tasks, the Google Drive files you pick, and permission to send emails from your Gmail account when you ask KolHive to send one. Connected email accounts are described under "Connected email accounts", and calendar connections under the calendar section below. We also receive the name and email address of the connected Google account and an authorization, which we store encrypted.
Purpose: To show and manage your tasks and files in KolHive and to send the emails you ask it to send. If you let the assistant use your other Google data, such as tasks or files, the details it needs are sent to the AI providers described above to answer your request. You can turn the assistant's Google access off, or have it ask you first, under AI access in the AI settings.
Google API data: KolHive's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We do not use data from Google APIs for advertising, and we do not use it to develop, improve or train generalized AI or machine learning models.
Third parties we share with: Google, and the AI providers described above if you let the assistant use your other Google data.
Consequences of not providing: Calendar, tasks, Drive and email features that depend on your Google account will not work. You can disconnect your Google account at any time in settings; because the account is shared, this affects both KolHive and KolWrite.
Data we collect: Depending on the permissions you grant, we access messages, recipients and other message details, and attachments from the email accounts you connect. We also receive the connected account's name and email address and store its authorization encrypted.
Purpose: To search, read and organize mail, manage drafts, send, reply to or forward messages, and move messages to or restore them from Trash, when you request these actions and grant the necessary permissions. If you allow the assistant to use your mail, the content it needs is sent to the AI providers described above to carry out your request. You control mail permissions per connected account and the assistant's mail access in AI settings. The assistant asks for your approval before sending mail or moving it to Trash.
Third parties we share with: The email service you connect and, if you allow the assistant to use your mail, the AI providers described above.
Personal learning lets the App get better for you as you use it. If it is on, the App learns, only for you: the names and words you use, the corrections you make to dictation and transcripts (for example "Call Write" to "KolWrite"), short word pairs from what you type, which suggestions you accept, and simple context such as the app, the time of day, the device type, the input method and the language. It uses this only to improve dictation, transcription, keyboard and word suggestions and the assistant for you. It does not keep audio, whole messages, transcripts, contacts or file names, and nothing from messages you receive.
Where it is kept: Personal learning is built and stored on your own devices. If you are signed in, it is synced between your devices end-to-end encrypted (AES-256-GCM). Our servers and our hosting and sync providers store only the encrypted data, the type of each of your devices (such as iPhone or Mac), your personal learning settings and the date and size of each update. We do not hold the keys to read it. Your devices share the key automatically with each new device you sign in on, and every device that can read your learning is listed in Settings, Personal learning, Devices with access, where you can remove it. Keys are kept in each device's secure storage (in the web app, in your browser). If you are not signed in, it stays on that device only. If you lose all your devices, the learning cannot be recovered and simply starts again.
What we never do with it: We do not use it for advertising, we do not sell or share it, we do not use it for analytics, and we do not use it to train any AI model, ours or anyone else's.
With AI features: If "Use with AI" is on (it starts on where personal learning starts with "Got it", off where you choose "Turn on", and you can change it in Settings), learned words and corrections are added to the requests you send to the AI model or cloud transcription you chose, only to improve that answer or transcript. They are handled like the rest of that request, as described in "How AI features use your content" and section 3; a cloud transcription keeps them with its job, as it keeps your own instructions for that job. With "Use with AI" off, they are used on your device only.
Place: Off unless you turn it on. When it is on, your device notes, as hashed counts kept only on that device and never synced, the roughly 1 km areas where you use the App, and labels a usual one "home", "work" or "other". Only that label joins your learning. Turning Place off deletes the counts.
Your choice: Personal learning starts only after you answer a short message in the App. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Canada, South Korea, India and China it stays off unless you choose "Turn on"; elsewhere it starts when you tap "Got it", and you can choose "Turn off" instead. It is off for accounts we know belong to someone under 18 (see section 6). At any time, in Settings, Personal learning, you can turn it off or pause it, choose what it learns from, see, edit, pin or delete anything it learned, export everything as a file, and reset it on all your devices. Turning it off stops all learning and use; what was learned stays until you choose Reset all, which deletes it everywhere. Nothing else in the App stops working if you leave it off.
Purpose and legal basis: To make dictation, transcription, suggestions and the assistant fit how you speak and write. The legal basis is your consent: you give it when you choose "Turn on" or "Got it", and you can withdraw it at any time by turning personal learning off or choosing Reset all.
Third parties we share with: None, apart from the AI requests you choose to send described above.
We do not collect your device's precise location. To choose your language and show local weather, the App may look up your approximate location (country or city) from your IP address through public IP-geolocation services, and fetch weather forecasts for that approximate location from public weather-forecast services.
When the assistant searches the web or reads a web page for you, the search terms or the page address are sent to public search engines and websites. In the mobile and desktop apps this happens directly from your device. In the web app it goes through our servers, so those services see our servers rather than your device.
Unless you turn this off, the App automatically sends error reports to our servers. They contain error messages, with personal details removed where we can detect them, and technical details such as app version and device type, and they are linked to your account. We use them to find and fix problems. For every upload or download that fails, and for a small share of those that finish (at most one in ten), the App also sends performance data: whether it was an upload or a download, what kind of transfer it was, its size, how long it took, how many tries it needed and which route it took. We add the country your request comes from. This data never includes file names, links or the content of your files. We use it to find where transfers are slow and to make them faster. We keep each record, linked to your account, for 7 days; after that only anonymous daily totals remain. You can turn all of this off under Settings, Help, Diagnostics.
When you share files, apps or workspaces, publish an app in the KOL Store, or create a public link, the people you share with, or anyone with the link, can see what you shared and the name shown with it. Playing and working with other people in real time, including voice chat and video, is described under "When you play online with other people in KolHive apps" above.
If you allow notifications, we deliver them through the push-notification service providers for your device platform, using an identifier for your device.
Data we collect:
Purpose:
Third parties we share with: The 3rd party social media platforms may have access to the data communicated.
Consequences of not providing: Cannot contact with you on social media.
If you choose to connect Google Calendar, we ask Google for permission to view your calendar list and calendar properties and to view, create, update, and delete calendar events. Calendar event data can include an event title, description, date and time, location, meeting link, reminders, attendees, and calendar identifiers. We use this access only to show, sync, and perform the Google Calendar actions you request in KolWrite or KolHive. We may cache Calendar data on your device or in your KolWrite or KolHive account as needed to provide those features.
If you ask an AI feature to use Calendar information, and the applicable Calendar AI permission is enabled, relevant event content may be sent to the AI provider selected for that feature to complete your request. We do not use Google user data for advertising.
We store the Google account identity information needed to identify the connection, the permissions Google granted, and an encrypted Google refresh token. You can disconnect Google from the Integrations settings. Disconnecting removes the stored token and asks Google to revoke it. Events already created in Google Calendar, and content previously imported into or created in the product, remain until you delete them from the place where they are stored.
Data we collect:
How we collect it: Speaker recognition is off until you turn it on. When it is on, the KolHive app calculates the signatures on your device and compares the speakers in your recordings only with the speakers you saved. A signature is kept only for a person you name or save. You can name speakers yourself without turning speaker recognition on.
Purpose:
We do not use voice or face signatures for any other purpose. We do not use them to train AI models, for advertising, or to recognize people for anyone else. Please save only people who agree to be recognized. Some places treat voice and face signatures as biometric data and require the person's consent; you are responsible for obtaining that consent before you save someone.
Third parties we share with: Signatures are stored encrypted on our servers and are never sent to AI providers. If you also use names with AI, KolHive sends a few frames from the video and short parts of its transcript to the contracted AI-processing service provider for the selected model to find names that are said or shown, for example when someone introduces themselves or a name appears on screen. The AI provider is not asked to recognize anyone's face. This uses your AI credits.
Consequences of not providing: Speakers are not recognized automatically. You can still name them yourself.
KolChat messages, voice messages, photos, videos, files and reactions in private and group chats are encrypted on the sender's device so our messaging server cannot read their content during ordinary delivery. Public channel posts are different: we can read their text and access attached media, and other KolChat users can view them while the channel is available. Calls are described below. Messages you choose to include in a report, and content you choose to send for cloud AI or cloud transcription, are handled as described elsewhere in this policy.
Data we collect:
How we collect it: From you and your devices when you use KolChat. Adding a phone number is optional; we confirm it with a code sent by text message through our contracted authentication service. If you let KolChat find your contacts, your device sends us only the first 5 characters of a coded (hashed) version of each phone number in your address book and finds the matches itself; your address book is not uploaded or stored by us.
Purpose:
Third parties we share with: Notifications are delivered through the push-notification service providers for your device platform; the message preview inside a notification is encrypted for your device, and these services do not receive the content. Incoming calls use your device's calling features (Apple CallKit or Android's calling service), so KolChat calls appear in your device's list of recent calls; on Apple devices that list may sync through your iCloud account according to your Apple settings. Calls connect directly between participants' devices when possible, which lets those devices see each other's IP addresses. In group calls, a participant's device may forward media to others. When participant devices cannot carry a meeting, a media-forwarding server may forward frames encrypted on participants' devices; a device without frame encryption cannot use that route. If a network blocks a direct connection, a network relay may carry the encrypted call connection. If someone transcribes a call or meeting, everyone in it sees a notice. When the person you send a file to is online, the encrypted file may go directly from your device to theirs, which lets both devices see each other's IP address; otherwise encrypted files are stored with our contracted file-storage service provider. Public channel media is stored with our file-storage service and can be viewed by KolChat users while the channel is available. If you ask us to email a meeting invitation, our email provider sends it, and the email contains the meeting link. Anyone who has a meeting link (and its password, if you set one) can join that meeting.
Voice message transcripts: When you tap Transcribe on a voice message, your device decrypts it and sends the audio to our contracted cloud AI-processing service provider to create the text, as described in the third-party AI consent. The text is then sent, end-to-end encrypted, to everyone in that chat. This uses the AI credits of the person who taps Transcribe. Please transcribe other people's voice messages only where they would agree to it.
Consequences of not providing: You cannot use KolChat without an account. Without a phone number, people can still find you by email address, shared spaces, QR code or invite link.
Additional Uses: Some of the abovementioned Personal Data will be used for detecting, taking steps to prevent, and prosecution of fraud or other illegal activity, to identify and repair errors, to conduct audits, and for security purposes. Personal Data may also be used to comply with applicable laws, with investigations performed by the relevant authorities, law enforcement purposes, and/or to exercise or defend legal claims. In certain cases, we may anonymize or de-identify your Personal Data, so that it no longer identifies you, and further use it for internal purposes, including, without limitation, to improve the services and for research purposes.
"Anonymous Information" means information which does not enable identification of an individual user, such as aggregated information about the use of our services.
Legal bases (European Economic Area and United Kingdom): Where the GDPR or the UK GDPR applies, we process your Personal Data because it is necessary to provide KolHive under our Terms of Use (account, content, AI features you request, sync, purchases and support); because of our legitimate interests in keeping KolHive secure, preventing misuse, fixing errors and understanding how KolHive is used (you can object to this); because the law requires it (tax, accounting and legal requests); or with your consent (marketing emails, notifications, and other optional features that ask for it). You can withdraw consent at any time; this does not affect processing that has already taken place. We do not make decisions about you based solely on automated processing that have legal or similarly significant effects.
We have implemented appropriate technical, organizational and security measures designed to protect your Personal Data, including:
However, please note that we cannot guarantee that the information will not be compromised as a result of unauthorized penetration to our servers. As the security of information depends in part on the security of the computer, device or network you use to communicate with us and the security you use to protect your user IDs and passwords, please make sure to take appropriate measures to protect this information. If a security incident affects your Personal Data, we will notify you and the authorities where the law requires it.
We keep Personal Data only as long as we need it for the purposes in this Privacy Policy:
Deleted data may remain in backup copies until those copies are replaced or deleted. In some circumstances we may store your Personal Data for longer periods of time, for example:
In addition to the recipients described above, we may share your Personal Data as follows:
We do not sell your Personal Data, and we do not share it with third parties for their own advertising or marketing.
AI apps you choose: when you connect an AI app, the content it reads is sent to that app's company at your request. We do not sell or share it for advertising, and that company is not our service provider.
3.6. If you want to receive the list of the current recipients of your Personal Data, please make your request by contacting us to info@kolhive.com.
4.1. We are based in Israel. We and our service providers store and process Personal Data in several countries. Our main servers are in Germany, and the GPU computers we operate ourselves are in Israel. Contracted cloud-storage and content-delivery providers store files and deliver our Websites through global networks. Our managed cloud AI processing uses a global endpoint, which can route a request to any region where capacity is available. Contracted cloud GPU servers may be located in different countries. Some of our hosting, storage, authentication, AI, email, network-connection, notification, security and analytics service providers are based in the United States and process data internationally. You may request the current recipients of your Personal Data and information about their processing locations under section 3.6.
4.2. The European Commission recognizes Israel as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data. When Personal Data from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland is transferred to a country that does not have such recognition, we rely on safeguards provided by law, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses included in our providers' data processing terms, or a provider's certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. You can ask us about these safeguards at info@kolhive.com.
5.1.1. Depending on the law that applies to you, you have some or all of the following rights:
Personal learning. You can see, correct, delete and export everything personal learning has learned, pause it or turn it off, in Settings, Personal learning. Because we cannot read it, we answer a request about it by helping you use these controls. If you can no longer use the App, ask us and we will delete the encrypted copy from our servers; deleting your account also deletes it.
5.2. You can exercise your rights by contacting us at info@kolhive.com. You can also view, change and delete much of your Personal Data yourself in the App. You may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf if you provide the authorized agent written permission signed by you. Subject to legal and other permissible considerations, we will make every reasonable effort to honor your request promptly in accordance with applicable law, and in any case within one month unless the law allows a longer period, or inform you if we require further information in order to fulfil your request.
When processing your request, we may ask you for additional information to confirm or verify your identity and for security purposes, before processing and/or honoring your request. We reserve the right to charge a fee where permitted by law, for instance if your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
5.3. Deleting your account: You can delete your account in the App under Settings, Security, Delete account, or by emailing info@kolhive.com from the email address of your account. Deleting your account deletes the shared account for both KolHive and KolWrite, including your recordings, transcripts, files, chats, AI data and settings stored in the cloud, and signs you out on every device. We keep only the records described in section 2.2 that the law requires or that we need to show what was agreed and what was paid. Copies that other people saved, and content in spaces that belong to other people, are not deleted from their accounts. Deleting your account does not cancel a subscription you bought through Apple or Google Play; cancel it in the settings of your store account.
5.4. Marketing emails – opt-out: You may choose not to receive marketing email of this type by sending a single email with the subject "BLOCK" to info@kolhive.com. Please note that the email must come from the email account you wish to block OR if you receive an unwanted email from us, you can use the unsubscribe link found at the bottom of the email to opt out of receiving future emails, and we will process your request within a reasonable time after receipt.
KolHive is not intended for children under thirteen (13) years old, or under the higher minimum age that applies where they live, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Data from them. If we learn that we have collected Personal Data from such a child without the consent the law requires, we will delete it and may close the account. A parent or guardian who believes this has happened can contact us at the address in the "Contact us" section. People aged 13 to 17 may use KolHive with the permission of a parent or legal guardian.
Personal learning. Personal learning is off for accounts we know belong to someone under 18.
Age range from your device. On Apple devices the app may ask Apple's Declared Age Range, and on Android devices installed from Google Play it may ask Google Play Age Signals, for your age range. The platform shows its own prompt, and you or your guardian can decline. We receive and store only an age band (under 13, 13–15, 16–17 or 18 and over), its source and when it was reported — never your birth date or exact age. We use it only to make the features available on your account appropriate for your age and to meet our legal obligations. We do not share it, and we keep it until a newer band from the same source replaces it or you delete your account; a band older than one year is no longer used.
We enable you to interact with third party websites, mobile software applications and products or services that are not owned or controlled by us, including apps made by other users and publishers that you install in KolHive (each a "Third Party Service"). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Third Party Services. Please be aware that Third Party Services can collect Personal Data from you. Accordingly, we encourage you to read the terms and conditions and privacy policies of each Third Party Service.
KolHive's apps and Websites do not contain advertising trackers. The App sends the error reports and upload and download performance data described in section 1, and our servers keep the technical logs needed to run KolHive and keep it secure.
Depending on your platform and the features you use, integrated service components, including components for sign-in and notifications, send limited technical information to their service operators. This includes device and operating-system information, application and software-component versions, application identifiers, and technical diagnostic information. The operators use this information to operate and maintain their services, assess reliability and compatibility, and understand adoption of their software components. This processing is separate from the optional error and performance reports described in section 1; turning off the App's Diagnostics setting does not turn off all technical processing by those service components. The service-provider and international-transfer provisions in sections 3 and 4 also apply.
We use log files to administer KolHive, keep it secure, and find and fix problems.
Note: We reserve the right to remove or add new analytic tools. We will update this Privacy Policy before we add one.
We do not sell your Personal Information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. To exercise the rights described in section 5, contact us at info@kolhive.com. We will not discriminate against you for exercising them.
9.1. California Privacy Rights: California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits our customers who are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send an email to info@kolhive.com. Please note that we are only required to respond to one request per customer each year.
9.2. Our California Do Not Track Notice: Do Not Track ("DNT") is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. Please note that we do not respond to or honor DNT signals or similar mechanisms transmitted by web browsers. KolHive does not track you across other companies' websites.
9.3. Deletion of Content from California Residents: If you are a California resident under the age of 18 and a registered user, California Business and Professions Code Section 22581 permits you to remove content or Personal Information you have publicly posted. If you wish to remove such content or Personal Information and you specify which content or Personal Information you wish to be removed, we will do so in accordance with applicable law. Please be aware that after removal you may not be able to restore removed content. In addition, such removal does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or Personal Information you have posted and that there may be circumstances in which the law does not require us to enable removal of content.
If you have any questions, concerns or complaints regarding our compliance with this policy and the data protection laws, or if you wish to exercise your rights, we encourage you to first contact us at info@kolhive.com.
