How We Use Your Personal Information

We will only use your personal information in ways that are compatible with the purposes listed below for which it was collected or as subsequently authorized by you.

 

To provide the Service

We use your personal information to provide and support the Service.  As part of providing the Service we may send you service announcements, technical notices, updates, security alerts and support-related messages through the Service or by email.  We may also communicate with you in response to your support requests, questions or feedback.

 

To provide the VPN Service

If you are using the Keepsafe Virtual Private Network (VPN) Service (the “VPN Service”), we route all of your Internet traffic through a network provided by Keepsafe and its service providers (the “Keepsafe Network”).  We use your IP address to establish and maintain an encrypted tunnel between your browser or device and the Keepsafe Network.  We also use your IP address and the IP addresses of websites, services, and applications you view or use to perform automated rules-based traffic management for the purposes of maintaining and improving the VPN Service. The Keepsafe Network is a “no log” network, which means that Keepsafe does not store your IP address when you are using our VPN Service or any information, including IP addresses, about the applications, services or websites you view or use while connected to our VPN Service.  However, we do collect information about your aggregate bandwidth usage.

For research and development

We use the information we collect to better understand your interests and the Service, make improvements to the Service and to develop new features and services.

To send you marketing communications

If you use the Service, request information from us, or participate in our surveys, promotions or events, we may send you Keepsafe-related marketing communications.  You can always opt out of these communications by following the opt-out instructions in the message or by contacting us.

 

To create anonymous data

We may create aggregated and other anonymous data from our users’ personal information.  We make personal information into anonymous data by removing information that makes the data personally identifiable to you. We may use this anonymous data and share it with third parties to operate, understand and improve our Service, develop new services and for other lawful business purposes.

 

For security, compliance, fraud prevention and safety

We may use your personal information as we believe appropriate to investigate or prevent violation of the law or our Terms of Service; to secure the Service; to protect our, your or others’ rights, privacy, safety or property; and to protect, investigate and deter against fraudulent, harmful, unauthorized, unethical or illegal activity.

 

For compliance with law; legal claims

We may use your personal information as we believe appropriate to (a) comply with applicable laws, lawful requests and legal process, such as to respond to subpoenas or requests from government authorities, (b) where permitted by law in connection with a legal investigation and (c) to prosecute or defend legal claims

 

With your consent

In some cases we may ask for your consent to collect, use or share your personal information with your consent, such as when we request access to your photos or other data through prompts in your mobile operating system.

 

How We Share Your Personal Information

Affiliates

We may share some or all of your personal information with our subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under common control, in which case we will require those entities to honor this Privacy Policy.

 

Service providers

We may employ third party companies or individuals to provide services that support the Service (such as customer support, hosting, payment processing, website and mobile app analytics and email delivery). We authorize these service providers to use your personal information only as necessary in connection with providing their services to us. If we learn that a service provider is using or disclosing personal information in a manner contrary to this Privacy Policy, we will take reasonable steps to stop it.

 

For compliance with law; legal claims; security, compliance, fraud prevention and safety

We may disclose information about you as we believe appropriate to government or law enforcement officials or private parties (a) for the security, compliance, fraud prevention and safety purposes described above; (b) as required by law, lawful requests or legal process; (c) where permitted by law in connection with any legal investigation; and (d) to prosecute or defend legal claims.

 

Business transfers

We may sell, transfer or otherwise share some or all of our business or assets, including your personal information, in connection with a business deal (or potential business deal) such as a merger, consolidation, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets or in the event of bankruptcy.

 

Your Choices

 

Access, correct or delete

If you have an account, you can access and update the personal information in your profile.  Registered users may also contact us to request deletion of your account and personal information.  We may request information from you to help us confirm your identity and process your request.  Applicable law may require or permit us to decline your request, such as where we need to retain your information for security, compliance, fraud prevention and safety, to comply with law or for legal claims.  If we decline your request, we will tell you why, subject to legal restrictions.  Once we process your request you will not be able to access your account or use the Service.  When we delete any information, it will be deleted from our active database, but where permitted by law, may remain for a period of time in our backup files or other instances where deletion is not practicable.

 

Marketing communications

You may opt out of marketing-related communications by following the opt-out prompt in the message, or by contacting us.  You may continue to receive service-related and other non-marketing communications.

 

Security

We use a variety of industry-standard technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.  However, security risk is inherent in all information technology.  Thus, while we use reasonable efforts to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.  If you believe the security of the Service or your personal information has been compromised, contact us immediately.

 

International Data Use

Keepsafe is headquartered in the United States and has affiliates and service providers in other countries. Your personal information may be collected, used and stored in the United States or in other locations outside of your home country.  Privacy laws in the locations where we handle your personal information may not be as protective as the privacy laws in your home country.

 

Third Party Sites and Services

The Service may link to or integrate with other websites and services operated by third parties, including social media platforms, advertising services and other websites and applications.  These links and integrations are not endorsements of, or representations that we are affiliated with, any third party. We do not control third party websites, applications or services and we are not responsible for their actions.  Third party websites and services follow different rules regarding their collection, use and sharing of your personal information and we encourage you to read their privacy policies to learn more.

 

Children

The Service is not directed to anyone under the age of 16.  A parent or guardian who becomes aware that a child has used the Service may contact us and we will attempt to delete the child’s personal information as soon as possible.

 

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may modify this Privacy Policy at any time.  If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy we will notify you by email (if we have your email address) or another reasonable manner through the Service. Any modifications to this Privacy Policy will be effective when posted (or as otherwise indicated at the time of posting).

If you object to an update of this Privacy Policy, you must notify us and ask to deactivate your account and delete your personal information prior to the effective date of the update. Continued use of the Service after an update to this Privacy Policy will indicate your acceptance of the update.

Legal bases for processing

Your country only allows us to use your personal information on certain “legal bases”.  We generally rely on the following legal bases:

Processing purpose (click link for details) Legal basis

 

To provide the Service

 

You have entered a contract with us and we need to use your personal information to provide services you have requested or take steps that you request prior to providing services.  If you do not provide information indicated as required or mandatory within the Service, or that is otherwise necessary to provide a requested service or feature within the Service, it will not be available to you.

For research and development
To send you marketing communications
To create anonymous data
For security, compliance, fraud prevention and safety
These processing activities constitute our legitimate interests.  When we rely on our legitimate interests to process your personal data, we consider and balance potential impact on you and your rights before we process your personal information for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal information for activities where the impact on you overrides our interests (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law).
For compliance with law; legal claims
Sharing your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy 
Processing is necessary to comply with our legal obligations or the activities constitute our legitimate interests.
With your consent Processing is based on your consent. Where we rely on your consent you have the right to withdraw it anytime in the manner indicated at the time consent is requested.

 

Note that different legal bases may apply to the same personal information when processed for different purposes.  For example, we may rely on consent where required by law or your mobile operating system to access photos on user’s device, but we may rely on performance of a contract when we store or use the photos to provide the Service, or on legitimate interests if we had to review it to investigate a complaint that the photo contained content that violated our Terms of Service.

Data export

If we transfer your personal information out of the European Economic Area in a manner that requires us to apply additional safeguards to your personal information under European data protection legislation, we will do so.  Please contact us for information on any such transfers or the safeguards applied.

Retention

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it, including to satisfy legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.  To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information, whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

Your rights

You may ask us to take the following actions:

 

Access.  Provide you with information about our processing of your personal information and give you access to your personal information.

 

Correct.  Update or correct inaccuracies in your personal information.

 

Delete.  Delete your personal information.

 

Export.  Export a machine-readable copy of your personal information that you can use with a different service.

 

Restrict.  Restrict the processing of your personal information.

 

Object. Object to our reliance on our legitimate interests as the legal basis of processing your personal information if that processing adversely impacts your legal rights.

 

To request one of these actions, contact us using the details in the Contact Us section above.  We may request information from you to help us confirm your identity and process your request. Applicable law may require or permit us to decline your request.  If we decline your request, we will tell you why, subject to legal restrictions. If you would like to submit a complaint about our use of your personal information or response to your requests regarding your personal information, please contact us.  In addition, you may submit a complaint to the data protection regulator in your jurisdiction.  You can find your data protection regulator here

VPN Service. The VPN Service has sufficient capacity to accommodate average non-commercial use. However, from time to time during periods of extraordinarily heavy usage of the VPN Service, you may temporarily experience slower service or service unavailability. No such temporary slowdown or unavailability shall constitute a breach or default by Keepsafe of its obligations. Keepsafe reserves the right to temporarily suspend or limit your use of the VPN Service if: (a) your usage level exceeds our average customer use level or otherwise negatively impacts the overall health of the network determined by Keepsafe in its sole and absolute discretion, or (b) you exceed any bandwidth limitations associated with your account.

You acknowledge and agree that Keepsafe may update the Keepsafe Properties with or without notifying you. Any updates to the Keepsafe Properties are subject to these Terms.

  1. Fees and Purchase Terms.

6.1 General Purpose of Terms: Sale of Service, not Software.

The purpose of the Terms is for you to secure access to the Services. All fees set forth within and paid by you under the Terms shall be considered solely in furtherance of this purpose. In no way are these fees paid considered payment for the sale, license, or use of Keepsafe’s Software or Application, and, furthermore, any use of Keepsafe’s Software or Application by you in furtherance of the Terms will be considered merely in support of the purpose of the Terms.

6.2 Payment.

You agree to pay all fees or charges to your Account in accordance with the fees, charges, and billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due and payable. Keepsafe collects payments through a limited number of payment services (“Payment Provider”). You must provide Keepsafe with valid account information for the respective chosen Payment Provider. Your Payment Provider agreement governs your use of the designated credit card or other payment method, and you must refer to that agreement and not the Terms to determine your rights and liabilities. By providing Keepsafe with your payment information, you agree that Keepsafe is authorized to immediately invoice your Account for all fees and charges due and payable to Keepsafe hereunder and that no additional notice or consent is required. You agree to immediately notify Keepsafe of any change in payment credentials for payment hereunder. Keepsafe reserves the right at any time to change its prices and billing methods, either immediately upon posting on the Website or by e-mail delivery to you.

6.3 Service Subscription Fees.

You will be responsible for payment of the applicable fee for any Services (each, a “Service Subscription Fee”) at the time you create your Account and select the term of your subscription (each, a “Service Commencement Dat”). Except as set forth in the Terms, all fees for the Services are non-refundable. No contract will exist between you and Keepsafe for the Services until Keepsafe or the Payment Provider, for example Apple or Google, accepts your order by a confirmatory e-mail, SMS/MMS message, or other appropriate means of communication.

6.4 Taxes.

Keepsafe’s fees are net of any applicable Sales Tax. If any Service, or payments for any Service, are subject to Sales Tax in any jurisdiction and you have not remitted the applicable Sales Tax to Keepsafe, you will be responsible for the payment of such Sales Tax and any related penalties or interest to the relevant tax authority and you will indemnify Keepsafe for any liability or expense we may incur in connection with such Sales Taxes. Upon our request, you will provide us with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or such other evidence that you have paid all applicable taxes. For purposes of this section, “Sales Tax” shall mean any sales or use tax, and any other tax measured by sales proceeds, that Keepsafe its permitted to pass to its customers that is the functional equivalent of a sales tax where the applicable taxing jurisdiction does not otherwise impose a sales or use tax.

6.5 Automatic Renewal.

Your subscription will continue indefinitely until terminated in accordance with the Terms. After your initial subscription period, and again after any subsequent subscription period, your subscription will automatically commence on the first day following the end of such period (each a “Renewal Commencement Date”) and continue for an additional equivalent period, at Keepsafe’s then-current price for such subscription. You agree that your Account will be subject to this automatic renewal feature unless you cancel your subscription at least 24 hours prior to the Renewal Commencement Date by logging into and going to the “Manage App Subscriptions” page in the Apple App Store or the “My Apps” page in the Google Play Store app. The same page will permit you to change your Account settings if you do not wish your subscription to renew automatically, or if you want to change or terminate your subscription.If you cancel your subscription, you may use your subscription until the end of your then-current subscription term; your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires. However, you will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then- current subscription period. By subscribing, you authorize Keepsafe to charge your Payment Provider now, and again at the beginning of any subsequent subscription period. Upon renewal of your subscription, if Keepsafe does not receive payment from your Payment Provider, (i) you agree to pay all amounts due on your Account upon demand, and/or (ii) you agree that Keepsafe may either terminate or suspend your subscription and continue to attempt to charge your Payment Provider until payment is received (upon receipt of payment, your Account will be re-activated and for purposes of automatic renewal, your new subscription commitment period will begin as of the day payment was received).

6.6 Pre-purchased Minutes and Texts.

Users of the Telephony Service may be able to purchase calling minutes and text messaging packages (collectively, “Pre-Purchased Packages“). Pre-Purchased Packages are not legal tender and cannot be reloaded, resold, transferred for value, redeemed for cash or applied to any other account, except to the extent described herein or as required by applicable law. Keepsafe prohibits and does not recognize any purported transfers of Pre-Purchased Packages outside of the Telephony Services, or the purported sale, lease, gift or trade in the “real world” of anything that appears or originates outside of the Telephony Services. Accordingly, you may not trade, sell or attempt to sell Pre-Purchased Packages for “real” money, or exchange those items or currency for value of any kind outside the Telephony Services. Any such transfer or attempted transfer is prohibited and void, and will subject your Account to termination. You shall ensure that you have sufficient Pre-Purchased Packages in your Account before you initiate any transaction that requires such credits. If you have insufficient Telephony Credits in your Account to complete the transaction, the transaction will be cancelled. ALL TRANSACTIONS MADE USING Pre-Purchased Packages ARE FINAL AND ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.

In the event that you violate the immediately preceding sentence, Keepsafe reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately take any or all of the actions set forth herein without any notice or warning to you.

  1. Miscellaneous Legal Terms.

10.1 Electronic Communications

The communications between you and Keepsafe use electronic means, whether you visit the Website or send Keepsafe e-mails, or whether Keepsafe posts notices on the Website or communicates with you via e-mail. For contractual purposes, you (1) agree to receive communications from Keepsafe in an electronic form; and (2) agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that Keepsafe provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if it were to be in writing. The foregoing does not affect your statutory rights.

10.2 Release

You hereby release Keepsafe and its successors from claims, demands, any and all losses, damages, rights, and actions of any kind, including personal injuries, death, and property damage of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of the Terms or your use of the Website, the Application, the Software or the Service. If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states, “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.

10.3 Assignment

The Terms, and your rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without Keepsafe’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void.

10.4 Force Majeure

Keepsafe and its licensors shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God; war; terrorism; riots; embargos; acts of civil or military authorities; fire; floods; accidents; strikes or shortages of transportation facilities; fuel; energy; labor; materials; problems with your computing or network infrastructure, hardware or product; problems with your internet service provider (ISP) or any sites you are attempting access through the VPN Service; or any electrical or other utility outage.

10.5 Dispute Resolution

  • (a) Any claim or dispute (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with the Terms where the total amount of the award sought is less than Five Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $5,000.00) may be resolved in a cost effective manner through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. Such arbitration shall be initiated through an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section and under the rules of such ADR Provider, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Terms. The party demanding arbitration will propose an ADR Provider and the other party shall not unreasonably withhold consent to use such ADR Provider. The ADR Provider and the parties must comply with the following rules: (1) the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; (2) all arbitration proceedings shall be held in English; (3) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties; and (4) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Keepsafe may seek injunctive or other equitable relief to protect its intellectual property rights in any court of competent jurisdiction. Please note that the laws of the jurisdiction where you are located may be different from California law, including the laws governing what can legally be sold, bought, exported, offered or imported. You shall always comply with all the international and domestic laws, ordinances, regulations and statutes that are applicable to your use of the Keepsafe Properties.
  • (b) Any other dispute (including whether the claims asserted are arbitrable) shall be referred to and finally determined by binding and confidential arbitration. Arbitration shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and not any state arbitration law. The arbitration shall be conducted before one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). As modified by the Terms, and unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing, the arbitration will be governed by the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and, if the arbitrator deems them applicable, the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively “Rules and Procedures”).
  • (c) You are thus GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights EXCEPT for matters that may be taken to small claims court. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury. You are entitled to a FAIR HEARING, BUT the arbitration procedures are SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN COURT. Arbitrator decisions are as enforceable as any court order and are subject to VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT.
  • (d) You and Keepsafe must abide by the following rules: (i) ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT BY YOU OR KEEPSAFE MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING; (ii) THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING, AND MAY NOT AWARD CLASS-WIDE RELIEF; (iii) in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to costs of litigation, Keepsafe will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the cost of litigation; (iv) Keepsafe also reserves the right in its sole and exclusive discretion to assume responsibility for all of the costs of the arbitration; (v) the arbitrator shall honor claims of privilege and privacy recognized at law; (vi) the arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor we may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for the purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award; (vii) the arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are permitted by applicable law; and (viii) each side pays its own attorneys’ fees and expenses unless there is a statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid its fees and litigation expenses, and then in such instance, the fees and costs awarded shall be determined by applicable law.
  • (e) The arbitral proceedings, and all pleadings and written evidence will be in the English language. Any written evidence originally in a language other than English will be submitted in English translation accompanied by the original or true copy thereof. The English language version will control. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator will not have authority to award damages in excess of the amount, or other than the types, allowed by Section 8 of the Terms. Judgment on the award of the arbitrator may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator also shall be authorized to grant any temporary, preliminary or permanent equitable remedy or relief it deems just and equitable and within the scope of the Terms, including, without limitation, an injunction or order for specific performance. The arbitration award shall be final and binding upon the parties without appeal or review except as permitted by California law or United States federal law.Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Keepsafe may bring an individual action in small claims court. Further, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret shall not be subject to this arbitration agreement. Such claims shall be exclusively brought in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco County, California. Additionally, notwithstanding this agreement to arbitrate, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before the state or federal courts located in San Francisco County, California, in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration, and hereby agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts located within San Francisco County, California for such purpose. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to arbitrate.
  • (f) With the exception of (d)(i) and (ii) above (prohibiting arbitration on a class or collective basis), if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Rules and Procedures, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, either (d)(i) or (ii) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor Keepsafe shall be entitled to arbitration. If for any reason, a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the dispute shall be exclusively brought in state or federal court in San Francisco County, California. By using the Keepsafe Properties in any manner, you agree to the above arbitration provision.

For more information on AAA, its Rules and Procedures, and how to file an arbitration claim, you may call AAA at 800-778-7879 or visit the AAA website at http://www.adr.org.

10.6 Choice of Law and Venue.

The Terms and any action related thereto will be governed and interpreted by and under the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that require the application of the law of a different state. You hereby expressly agree to the personal jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts for the county in which Keepsafe’s principal place of business is located for any lawsuit filed against you by Keepsafe arising from or related to the Terms.

10.7 Notice.

Where Keepsafe requires that you provide an e-mail address, you are responsible for providing Keepsafe with your most current e-mail address. In the event that the last e-mail address you provided to Keepsafe is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you any notices required/permitted by the Terms, Keepsafe’s dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice. You may give notice to Keepsafe at the following address: 427 Bryant St., San Francisco, CA 94107. Such notice shall be deemed given when received by Keepsafe by letter delivered by nationally recognized overnight delivery service or first class postage prepaid mail at the above address.

10.8 Waiver.

Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of the Terms on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.

10.9 Severability.

If any provision of the Terms is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of the Terms will remain enforceable, and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.
