We make every effort to ensure your privacy and therefore handle personal data with care. The Kinamo NV privacy policy strictly follows the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

In our privacy policy, we want to provide clear and transparent information about what information we collect and how we handle your personal data.

To whom does this privacy policy apply?

Our privacy policy applies to the personal data of our customers (individuals or companies) for which we provide services and third parties whose personal data is being processed by Kinamo as processing agent through their agreement with our customers - in which we fulfill the role of "data processor".

This privacy policy applies to all Kinamo websites and applications (our company website, MyKinamo customer zone, Koreo).

For some of our cloud services, Kinamo acts exclusively as a data processor. For this purpose you may obtain our data processing agreement. For more information, please contact us.

Which personal data can be processed by Kinamo?

Kinamo will process data that can be cataloged into different types of data:

  • Information provided by you
  • Data collected by our infrastructure
  • Data supplied by third parties

Information provided by you

This data can be obtained, for example, through direct communication with you. This can be done by telephone, e-mail or via a website form. This can range from an information request via our website, a problem reported by you or a support request.

Data collected by our infrastructure

In order to guarantee you the most accurate service possible, we link your data to the use of our services and infrastructure. Examples are e-mail addresses, hosting subscriptions, server configuration, IP addresses, certificates.

We also process IP data from third parties, logged on our infrastructure via your website or by our customers. IP data on our hosting infrastructure (website hosting) is stored anonymously.

Data supplied by third parties

We can dispose of your personal data when requesting a check of your company data, by using a company database. In all these cases, your data will be handled with care and is fully covered by our privacy policy.

Why do we collect your personal data?

There are various reasons and goals for which Kinamo will process your company or personal data. Below you will find more information about the reason and the way in which we collect data in the section 'When are we saving your personal data?'.

We need your information:

  • to be able to follow up on questions for support and so that we can have a contact point in case of problems.
  • to combat abuse, fraud and infringements.
  • to comply with our statutory, fiscal and accounting obligations.
  • to communicate with you in relation to ordering our services, providing you information and status updates, to inform your about your subscriptions or purchased services;
  • to ensure that we legally comply with the regulations we must comply with;

In no way does Kinamo inspect the content of your files and / or communication, unless you explicitly request this, for example for debugging and support purposes. Examples are: analyzing of less efficiently responding services, web application debugging, database performance, etc.

E-mail traffic sent to or from Kinamo e-mail servers is investigated for the presence of viruses or unwanted messages. This detection is done automatically, using an e-mail filter that will determine whether a message is undesirable by using code analysis and algorithms, without checking the content of your e-mails.

When will we save your data?

1. When establishing a customer relationship

This may involve the conclusion of a new agreement between Kinamo and you as an individual or your company. Anyone who registers as a new customer at Kinamo will be asked for information so that we can approach you both commercially in a correct way (so that we can present a correct solution) and legally (for example, for payment and / or invoicing).

Your data is used to ensure that your service can function correctly and that payment requests can correctly be processed. Depending on the service that you will purchase from Kinamo, we can proceed to a credit check. We do this to ensure that both you and us can start with a healthy customer / supplier relationship.

Personal data collected by us includes your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, preferred language for communication and, if applicable, name of your company, VAT number, registration number.

We also keep your billing and payment details and all required quantitative information that allows us to invoice you in a correct manner and to substantiate this in the event of a dispute;

We also keep your preferences for communication with our company, which you have indicated via the MyKinamo customer zone;

Your data will be kept as long as necessary for the agreement and as deemed necessary to comply to our legal obligations.

On a technical level, we store the necessary traceable data on Kinamo servers that is used to identify problems or to identify abuses.

In no way we collect data we are not allowed to keep legally (political opinions, racial or ethnic origin ...).

This information will be stored for non-customer for a period of 12 months. Please contact us if you want us to remove this information from our system.
