This Privacy Policy, which forms part of Kashoo’s Terms of Service (the Terms), explains how Kashoo collects, uses and protects personal and private information submitted and collected as part of our online software service and generally on our website or mobile applications (together, the Service).
PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY. By using our Service or otherwise by choosing to provide us with your Personal Information, you acknowledge and consent to the processing of your Personal Information in Canada in accordance with this Policy and as may be further identified when the Personal Information is collected. If you are located or residing outside of Canada, please be aware that our Service is intended for and directed to users in Canada, and the privacy laws and principles in Canada may differ and not offer the same level of protection as those in your location or residing country/region. Through your continued use of our Service you are transferring your personal information to Canada and you expressly consent to that transfer. We will use this consent as the legal basis for such data transfer, unless otherwise stated in this Policy.
a) “Personal Information” means information that determines the identity of an individual. Most of the information we collect is considered Personal Information, and is also private and sensitive, such as the financial information you give us. Some information is not Personal Information. We take the collection and storage of all information, especially Personal Information very seriously.
b) Legal Basis: We will process your Personal Information only with your knowledge and consent, except where exempted, required or permitted by applicable laws. The form of consent may vary depending on the circumstances and the type of information being requested. Your consent may be express with clear options to say “yes” or “no”, such as by being asked to check a box to indicate your consent, or implied, such as when you provide us with your address through a form or email seeking information and we use those means to respond to your request. Your consent can also be provided by your authorized representative. Taking into account the sensitivity of your Personal Information, purposes of collection, and your reasonable expectations, we will obtain the form of consent that is appropriate to the Personal Information being processed. By using our Service or otherwise by choosing to provide us with your Personal Information, you acknowledge and consent to the processing of your personal information in accordance with this Policy and as may be further identified when the personal information is collected. When we process your Personal Information for a new purpose, we will document that new purpose and ask for your consent again.
If you do not consent to the processing of your Personal Information in accordance with this Policy, please do not access or continue to use any aspect of the Service or otherwise provide any personal information to us.
