Privacy Policy

LAST UPDATED: October 28, 2022

Kas Explorers, Inc. is concerned about privacy issues and wants you to be familiar with how we collect, use and disclose information. The first section of this document describes our practices in connection with information that we collect from our customers and potential customers through the websites operated by us from which you are accessing this Privacy Policy (the “Websites”), and from users of the Websites (whether or not such users are our customers). The Websites include Kas Explorers.com, Kas Explorers.com, blog.Kas Explorers.com, blog.Kas Explorers.com, docs.Kas Explorers.com, docs.Kas Explorers.com, track.Kas Explorers.com, and track.Kas Explorers.com. The second section describes the information we collect in the course of providing services to our customers (the “Services”). If you are a Kas Explorers employee or contractor and want to learn how Kas Explorers uses your personal information, you can find that information in the “Kas Explorers Notice of Data Privacy for Employees” posted in Confluence.

European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”) and the United Kingdom’s Data Protection Act (the “UKDPA”)

Kas Explorers provides tools and services to mobile app developers so that they can track and analyze certain End User actions in the context of mobile marketing. Kas Explorers does not collect any data directly (except from the companies and people that sign up for Kas Explorers or request marketing info, which is described in the Website Privacy Policy below). With regard to Kas Explorers’s Services, under the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”) and the UK’s Data Protection Act (the “UKDPA”), Kas Explorers is a data processor. As a data processor, Kas Explorers processes, and may store, information sent by Kas Explorers customers from their mobile apps. Kas Explorers’s customers may send information about the End Users of their apps, and the users’ devices, to Kas Explorers for processing and storage. The mobile app developers must receive your consent in order for Kas Explorers to process, and perhaps store, your data. Kas Explorers recognizes your right of access under Section 15 of GDPR and Section 45 of UKDPA. If you are a user of a Kas Explorers customer’s mobile app, and you wish to exercise your right of access, you must contact the owner or operator of the mobile app (the data collector).

California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

The California Consumer Privacy Act (the “CCPA”) became law on January 1st, 2020 but enforcement begins six (6) months from the date the California Attorney General issues final regulations (which shall be no later than July 1st, 2020). With regard to Kas Explorers’s Services, under CCPA, Kas Explorers is a service provider. As a service provider, Kas Explorers processes, and may store, information sent by Kas Explorers customers from their mobile apps. Kas Explorers’s customers may send information about the End Users of their apps, and the users’ devices, to Kas Explorers for processing and storage. Kas Explorers customers must comply with the opt-out requirements under CCPA (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.120(a)) and take into account any exceptions or other requirements mandated by law. As a service provider, Kas Explorers relies on CCPA’s business purpose exemption under Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.140(t)(2)(C) and as a service provider, Kas Explorers does not have any direct obligations to the End Users to obtain consent, provide opt-outs, or delete data. If you are a user of a Kas Explorers customer’s mobile app and you wish to opt-out or exercise another right under CCPA, you must contact the app publisher (the business).

The above applies to both Section 1 and Section 2 below.

Cookies allow us to collect information such as browser type, time spent on the Websites, pages visited and other anonymous traffic data. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to automatically decline cookies, or be given the choice of declining or accepting the transfer to your computer of a particular cookie (or cookies) from a particular site. Please note, however, that if you don’t accept Cookies, you may not be able to access all portions or features of the Websites. Some third-party services providers that we engage (including third-party advertisers) may also place their own Cookies on your hard drive. Note that this Privacy Policy covers only our use of Cookies and does not include use of Cookies by such third parties.
  • Using pixel tags and other similar technologies: Pixel tags (also known as web beacons and clear GIFs) may be used in connection with the Websites to, among other things, track the actions of users (including email recipients), measure the success of our marketing campaigns and compile statistics about use of the Websites.

How We May Use and Disclose Other Information

We may use and disclose Other Information for any purpose, except where we are required to do otherwise under applicable law. If we are required to treat Other Information as Personal Information under applicable law, then we may use it for all the purposes for which we use and disclose Personal Information.

We format and otherwise process the Customer Data, to help our customer understand and analyze the effectiveness of and costs associated with its advertising campaigns across various advertising networks.

HOW WE COLLECT CUSTOMER DATA

We collect Customer Data through Kas Explorers’s software development kit (“Kas Explorers SDK”) that customers have a license to use. We may also collect Customer Data from our customers’ third party mobile marketing partners, to the extent that the customer has authorized us to do so.

We use Customer Data to provide the Services to the relevant customer. We may also use it to improve the Services and develop new products and services.

We do not share Customer Data with any customer other than the customer to which it relates, unless we have received the prior express written consent of the customer to do otherwise. Without consent, we may disclose Customer Data:

To our affiliated and third-party service providers; and To a third party in the event of any reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, assets or stock (including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings).

Unless prohibited by applicable law or advertising network terms, we may aggregate Customer Data such that it is not reasonably identifiable with or to the customer to which it relates, or the customer’s end users (“Aggregate Data”). We may share Aggregate Data with third parties for industry research and analysis, demographic profiling and other similar purposes.

HOW WE COLLECT AND PROCESS END USER DATA FOR CUSTOMERS

Customers may send information about individuals using their app (“End Users”) to Kas Explorers for processing and storage. This information may include Vendor ID (if available), IP address, Apple Search attribution (if enabled), Bundle ID, SDK Version, App Version, OS Version, Device Type, Device Model, Device Locale, Device Country, OS Platform, Limit Ad Tracking setting, and Advertising ID.

Kas Explorers customers must abide by all applicable laws and obtain all applicable consents before sending End User data to Kas Explorers. If you feel that your data has been collected by a Kas Explorers customer without your consent, please contact the Kas Explorers customer directly.
