Privacy Policy

Last Modified: June 12, 2012

This Privacy Policy provides our policies and procedures for collecting, using, and disclosing your information. Users can access the Kifu App service (the “Services”) through our website www.kifuapp.com on Devices. A “Device” is any computer used to access the Kifu App Service, including without limitation a desktop, laptop, mobile phone, tablet, or other consumer electronic device. This Privacy Policy governs your access of the Services, regardless of how you access it, and by using our Services you consent to the collection, transfer, processing, storage, disclosure and other uses described in this Privacy Policy. All of the different forms of data, content, and information described below are collectively referred to as “information.”

The Information We Collect And Store

We may collect and store the following information when running the Services:

Information You Provide. When you register an account over the phone, we collect some of the primary account holder’s personal information, such as name, phone number, credit card or other billing information, email address and home and business postal addresses.

You may use the Services to import information to our Services, enter information on our Services, or access information with our Services, including information on your constituents, events and financial data (your “Database”). We will maintain the confidentiality of your Database in accordance with our Information Sharing and Disclosure Policy. We will email your Database to the primary account holder’s email address if requested in an email sent to us from that email address.

Log Data. When you use the Services, we automatically record information from your Device, its software, and your activity using the Services. This may include the Device’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, the web page visited before you came to our website, information you search for on our website, locale preferences, identification numbers associated with your Devices, your mobile carrier, date and time stamps associated with transactions, system configuration information, metadata concerning your Database, and other interactions with the Service.

Cookies. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your Device. We use “session ID cookies” to confirm authorization and enable certain features of the Service. You will not be able to use the Services unless you instruct your browser, by changing its options, to accept our cookies.

How We Use Personal Information

Personal Information. In the course of using the Service, we may collect personal information that can be used to contact or identify you (“Personal Information”). Personal Information is or may be used: (i) to provide and improve our Services, (ii) to administer your use of the Services, (iii) to better understand your needs and interests, (iv) to personalize and improve your experience, and (v) to provide or offer software updates and product announcements. If you no longer wish to receive communications from us, please follow the “unsubscribe” instructions provided in any of those communications, or update your account settings information.

Analytics. We may also collect some information (ourselves or using third party services) using logging and cookies, such as IP address, which can sometimes be correlated with Personal Information. We may use this information for the above purposes and to monitor and analyze use of the Services, for technical administration, to increase our Services’ functionality and user-friendliness, and to verify users have the authorization needed for the Services to process their requests.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

Service Providers, Business Partners and Others. We may use certain trusted third party companies and individuals to help us provide, analyze, and improve the Services (including but not limited to data storage, maintenance services, database management, web analytics, payment processing, and improvement of the Services’ features). These third parties may have limited access to your information only for purposes of performing these tasks on our behalf and under obligations similar to those in this Privacy Policy. As of the date this policy went into effect, we use a reputable third party data storage service to store some of your information (for example, your Database).

Compliance with Laws and Law Enforcement Requests; Protection of Shukai’s Rights. We may disclose to third parties information stored in your Account or Database and other information about you that we collect when we have a good faith belief that disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) comply with a law, regulation or compulsory legal request; (b) protect the safety of any person from death or serious bodily injury; (c) prevent fraud or abuse of Kifu App or its users; or (d) to protect Shukai’s property rights.

Business Transfers. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, but we will notify you (for example, via email and/or a prominent notice on our website) of any change in control or use of your Personal Information or Database, or if either become subject to a different Privacy Policy. We will also notify you of choices you may have regarding the information.

Non-private or Non-Personal Information. We may disclose your non-private, aggregated, or otherwise non-personal information, such as usage statistics of our Service.

Changing or Deleting Your Information

If you are a registered user, you may review, update, correct or delete the Personal Information provided in your registration or account profile by changing your “account settings.” or by emailing support@kifuapp.com. If your personally identifiable information changes, or if you no longer desire our service, you may update or delete it by making the change on your account settings or by emailing support@kifuapp.com. In some cases we may retain copies of your information if required by law. For questions about your Personal Information on our Service, please contact contact@kifuapp.com. We will respond to your inquiry within 30 days.

Data Retention

We will retain your information unless (i) you ask us to delete it in an email sent from your primary account holder’s email address or (ii) three months have elapsed since cancellation of your account; provided that we may retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Consistent with these requirements, we will try to delete your information quickly upon request. Please note, however, that there might be latency in deleting information from our servers and backed-up versions might exist after deletion.

Kifu App Community

Our Services may offer publicly accessible community services such as blogs, forums, and wikis. You should be aware that any information you provide in these areas may be read, collected, and used by others who access them. Your posts may remain even after you cancel your account. For questions about your Personal Information on our Services, please contact contact@kifuapp.com.

Our Web site may include links to other Web sites whose privacy practices may differ from those of Shukai. Personal information that you submit to any of those sites is governed by their privacy policies. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy statement of any Web site you visit.

Security

The security of your information is important to us. We follow generally accepted standards to protect the information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you have any questions about security on our website, you can view our Security Overview Page or contact us at contact@kifuapp.com.

Changes to our Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may change from time to time. If we make a change to this privacy policy that we believe materially reduces your rights, we will provide you with notice (for example, by email). We may also provide notice of changes in other circumstances. By continuing to use the Services after those changes become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Privacy Policy.

Security Overview

We provide this overview so that you can better understand the security measures we’ve put in place to protect the information that you store using Kifu App.

Secure Storage

Shukai uses a reputable third party data storage provider for data storage. This third party provider stores data over several large-scale data centers, using military grade perimeter control berms, video surveillance and professional security staff to keep their data centers physically secure.

Secure Transfers

We use HTTPS, the standard for secure Internet network connections, to secure the transmission of data between our Services and the end-user

Your Data is Backed Up

Shukai and our third party data storage provider keep redundant backups of all data over multiple locations to prevent the remote possibility of data loss.

Privacy

We guard your privacy to the best of our ability and work hard to protect your information from unauthorized access. A copy of our full privacy policy can be found above.

Shukai’s employees are prohibited from viewing constituent, event and financial information stored in your Kifu App database, and are only permitted to view file metadata (e.g., file names and locations). Like most online services, we have a small number of employees who must be able to access user data for the reasons stated in our privacy policy (e.g., when legally required to do so). But that’s the rare exception, not the rule. We have strict policy and technical access controls that prohibit employee access except in these rare circumstances. In addition, we employ a number of physical and electronic security measures to protect user information from unauthorized access. Compliance with Laws and Law Enforcement

As set forth in our privacy policy, and in compliance with United States law, Shukai cooperates with United States law enforcement when it receives valid legal process, which may require Shukai to disclose information on your constituents, events and/or financials.

Acceptable Use Policy

We are proud of the trust placed in Shukai. In exchange, we trust you to use our services responsibly.

You agree not to misuse the Kifu App services. For example, you must not, and must not attempt to, use our services to do the following things.

probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of any system or network;
breach or otherwise circumvent any security or authentication measures;
interfere with or disrupt any user, host, or network, for example by sending a virus, overloading, flooding, spamming, or mail-bombing any part of the Services;
