At Kiki Keyboard Team ("we," "us," or "our"), safeguarding your privacy is a top priority. We are dedicated to protecting your personal data and maintaining transparency regarding how we handle your information. This Privacy Policy details how we gather, utilize, share, and secure your data when you access our mobile application and related services (the "Software and Services").
By accessing the Software and Services, you agree to the practices outlined in this document. IF YOU DO NOT CONSENT TO THESE TERMS, PLEASE REFRAIN FROM USING OUR SOFTWARE AND SERVICES.
Information Collection
To enhance your user experience and optimize our app, we may gather the following types of information:
A. Technical Information
We collect technical data to guarantee app compatibility and functionality. This encompasses:
- Device Details: Operating system type and version, device model, hardware specifications, and screen resolution.
- Identifiers: Advertising IDs (such as GAID), Android IDs, and anonymous user tags. Note: Android IDs are processed locally and are generally not saved on our servers unless required for fraud prevention.
- Network Details: IP addresses, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), carrier names, and connection types (Cellular/WiFi).
- Usage Metrics: Details on how you interact with the Software (e.g., settings preferences, performance data, and crash logs).
B. Language Modeling Data
- Local Processing: To power features like next-word prediction and auto-correction, we analyze your frequent words and typing habits locally on your device. This information is encrypted and kept in a secure, local environment.
- Server Processing (Optional): With your explicit permission only, we may transmit anonymized typing snippets to our servers to refine our global language algorithms. This data is entirely stripped of personal identifiers and is immediately purged after programmatic analysis.
Information Usage
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
- Delivering Services: To operate, maintain, and provide the features of Kiki Keyboard (e.g., typing predictions, sticker creation).
- Service Enhancements: To evaluate usage patterns and upgrade our user interface and language engine.
- Customer Support: To address your questions, feedback, and support tickets.
- Security Measures: To identify, prevent, and resolve technical bugs, fraud, or abuse.
- Advertising: To display relevant advertisements (where applicable) utilizing non-personally identifiable tags like GAID.
Legal Grounds: For users located in the EEA, we process your data based on your consent or our legitimate business interest in delivering the Service.
Information Sharing & Disclosure
We will never sell your Personally Identifiable Information (PII). We only share information under these specific conditions:
- Service Providers: We may provide anonymous data to trusted third-party vendors who assist us with services on our behalf (e.g., analytics, cloud hosting).
- Legal Obligations: We may disclose data if legally mandated by law, subpoena, or to defend the rights and safety of our team, our users, or the public.
- Business Transitions: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, user data may be transferred as part of the transaction. The acquiring entity will remain legally bound by this Privacy Policy.
Data Security
We deploy industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to defend your data.
- Encryption: Confidential data kept on your device and transmitted to our cloud services is encrypted.
- Restricted Access: Access to user data is strictly limited to authorized personnel only.
- Security Limitations: While we work diligently to protect your data, no method of internet transmission is entirely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we consistently evaluate and upgrade our defensive measures.
Children's Privacy
Our Services are not intended for children under the age of 13 (or 16 within the EEA). We do not intentionally gather personal information from minors. Should we discover that we have collected a child's personal information without parental consent, we will take immediate steps to delete it. Parents or guardians may contact us to request the removal of such data.
Changes to this Policy
We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy periodically. We will alert you to any material updates by publishing the revised policy on this page and adjusting the "Last Updated" date above. We encourage you to review this page regularly. Your continued use of the Service following any modifications signifies your acceptance of the newly updated policy.
