      Do we use 'cookies'?

      Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the site's or service provider's systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. For instance, we use cookies to help us remember and process the items in your shopping cart. They are also used to help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with improved services. We also use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.
      We use cookies to understand and save user preferences for future visits. You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser settings. Since each browser is a little different, look at your browser's Help Menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies.
      If users disable cookies in their browser: If you turn cookies off, some of the features that make your site experience more efficient may not function properly.

      • Government Clients: All data for government clients is retained by Konexus for ten years after service termination, by government regulation. Data snapshots will be provided to previous government clients upon request. Data snapshots will only be provided to the client, and not to any other party.
      • Non-government Clients: Konexus will retain or destroy client data based on the client's preference.

      Mobile Application Permissions and Data

      Certain features of our mobile apps (iOS, Android) require application permissions, including but not limited to:
      • Device storage (read/write): When users want to attach files or photos as part of a message, we request access to device storage.
      • Device location (in-app): When users want to include their current location as part of a message, we request access to location. We also request access to location to (optionally) show the device location on a map relative to other location-related messages.
      • Device location (background): Some customers use our app to send out geo-targeted messages to their organization's users, which requires the app to periodically request the device's location while the app is not in use. This feature is opt-in only, meaning indvidual users are not required to grant this permission and may do so at their sole discretion.
      • Installed applications: On Android, the library that we use for app authentication (AppAuth-Android) retrieves the list of installed apps in order to open the correct browser.
      • Device ID: We use the device ID (Android: ANDROID_ID, iOS: identifierForVendor) to uniquely identify the device for push notifications and for analytics purposes.

      California Online Privacy Protection Act

      CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law's reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared. See more at: CalOPPA
      According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following: Users can visit our site anonymously. Once this privacy policy is created, we will add a link to it on our home page or as a minimum, on the first significant page after entering our website. Our Privacy Policy link includes the word 'Privacy' and can easily be found on the page specified above. You will be notified of any Privacy Policy changes on our Privacy Policy Page. You can change your personal information by logging in to your account.
      COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act) When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States' consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children's privacy and safety online. We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.
      Fair Information Practices: The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States, and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.
      In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices, we will take the following responsive action should a data breach occur: We will notify you via email within 1 business day. We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
