1. Introduction
Welcome to Konyct. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy informs you about how we handle your information when you visit our website or use the Konyct mobile app (the "Service"), and outlines your privacy rights under applicable data protection laws.
2. The Data We Collect
We only collect data necessary to provide authentic, context-driven community engagement. Konyct groups data into the following categories:
- Identity Data: includes your chosen display name, username, and profile image.
- Contact Data: includes your email address used for secure account verification and login.
- Technical Data: includes internet protocol (IP) address, login timestamps, operating system version, and device identifiers necessary to deliver notifications.
- Profile & Trust Signal Data: includes your public contributions, discussions, kept stories, and Belief, Equity, Signal (BES) score. Plain-text passwords are never stored; only one-way cryptographic hashes.
- Usage Data: includes interactions within Circles and Clubs to display relevant discussions and calculate community trust metrics.
3. How We Use Your Data
We use your personal data strictly for legitimate operational purposes:
- To create and manage your account as an enthusiast or brand partner.
- To calculate and verify your BES trust signals based on genuine participation.
- To facilitate communication between brands and believers in dedicated Circles.
- To ensure platform security, prevent automated bot activity, and protect community integrity.
- To maintain context isolation so your personal identity is never unintentionally exposed in brand workflows.
4. Disclosures & Context Integrity
We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We do not host third-party advertisement networks. Information is only shared under these strict circumstances:
- Brand Circles: When you contribute inside a brand's Circle, your public contributor profile and verified BES are visible to that brand and its community.
- Service Providers: Trusted infrastructure and technical providers who maintain our servers and database operations under rigorous confidentiality obligations.
- Legal Requirements: When mandated by valid legal process or to protect the safety and rights of community members.
5. Data Security
We employ administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal data against accidental loss, unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. Access is restricted to team members and agents who need it for system operations.
6. Your Legal Rights & Account Control
You have full control over your data. Depending on your jurisdiction, your rights include:
- Requesting access to the personal data we hold about you.
- Requesting correction or update of inaccurate data.
- Requesting permanent erasure of your personal data.
