opt-out link or other unsubscribe option that is included in the respective
email. We only send emails to people who have authorized us to contact them,

advertising to specific people who have opted-in to receive communications from
us. Email addresses submitted only through the order processing page will be

How Long Do We Keep Your Information?
We keep your information only so
long as we need it to provide Key Innovations Inc. to you and fulfill the
purposes described in this policy. This is also the case for anyone that we
share your information with and who carries out services on our behalf. When we
no longer need to use your information and there is no need for us to keep it
to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations, we’ll either remove it from
our systems or depersonalize it so that we can't identify you.
How Do We Protect Your Information?
We implement a variety of
security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you
place an order or enter, submit, or access your personal information. We offer
the use of a secure server. All supplied sensitive/credit information is
transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into
our Payment gateway providers database only to be accessible by those
authorized with special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep
the information confidential. After a transaction, your private information
(credit cards, social security numbers, financials, etc.) is never kept on
file. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the absolute security of any
information you transmit to Key Innovations Inc. or guarantee that your
information on the Service may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or
destroyed by a breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial
safeguards.
Could my information be transferred to other countries?
Key Innovations Inc. is
incorporated in Canada. Information collected via our website, through direct
interactions with you, or from use of our help services may be transferred from
time to time to our offices or personnel, or to third parties, located throughout
the world, and may be viewed and hosted anywhere in the world, including
countries that may not have laws of general applicability regulating the use
and transfer of such data. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, by
using any of the above, you voluntarily consent to the trans-border transfer
and hosting of such information.
Is the information collected through the Key Innovations Inc. Service
secure?
We take precautions to protect
the security of your information. We have physical, electronic, and managerial
procedures to help safeguard, prevent unauthorized access, maintain data
security, and correctly use your information. However, neither people nor
security systems are foolproof, including encryption systems. In addition,
people can commit intentional crimes, make mistakes or fail to follow policies.
Therefore, while we use reasonable efforts to protect your personal
information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If applicable law
imposes any non-disclaimable duty to protect your personal information, you
agree that intentional misconduct will be the standards used to measure our
compliance with that duty.
Can I update or correct my information?
The rights you have to request
updates or corrections to the information Key Innovations Inc. collects depend
on your relationship with Key Innovations Inc. . Personnel may update or
correct their information as detailed in our internal company employment
policies.
Customers have the right to
request the restriction of certain uses and disclosures of personally
identifiable information as follows. You can contact us in order to (1)
update or correct your personally identifiable information, (2) change your
preferences with respect to communications and other information you receive from
us, or (3) delete the personally identifiable information maintained about you
on our systems (subject to the following paragraph), by cancelling your
account. Such updates, corrections, changes and deletions will have no effect
on other information that we maintain, or information that we have provided to
third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy prior to such update,
correction, change or deletion. To protect your privacy and security, we may
take reasonable steps (such as requesting a unique password) to verify your
identity before granting you profile access or making corrections. You are
responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account
information at all times.
You should be aware that it is not
technologically possible to remove each and every record of the information you
have provided to us from our system. The need to back up our systems to protect
information from inadvertent loss means that a copy of your information may
exist in a non-erasable form that will be difficult or impossible for us to
locate. Promptly after receiving your request, all personal information stored
in databases we actively use, and other readily searchable media will be
updated, corrected, changed or deleted, as appropriate, as soon as and to the
extent reasonably and technically practicable.

by contacting the organization of which you are a customer.

respect to communications and other information you receive from us, or (3)

accordance with this Privacy Policy prior to such update, correction, change or
deletion.

Information about General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
We may be collecting and using
information from you if you are from the European Economic Area (EEA), and in
this section of our Privacy Policy we are going to explain exactly how and why
is this data collected, and how we maintain this data under protection from
being replicated or used in the wrong way.
What is GDPR?
GDPR is an EU-wide privacy and
data protection law that regulates how EU residents' data is protected by
companies and enhances the control the EU residents have, over their
personal data.
The GDPR is relevant to any globally
operating company and not just the EU-based businesses and EU residents. Our
customers’ data is important irrespective of where they are located, which is
why we have implemented GDPR controls as our baseline standard for all our
operations worldwide.
What is personal data?
Any data that relates to an
identifiable or identified individual. GDPR covers a broad spectrum of
information that could be used on its own, or in combination with other pieces
of information, to identify a person. Personal data extends beyond a person’s
name or email address. Some examples include financial information, political
opinions, genetic data, biometric data, IP addresses, physical address, sexual
orientation, and ethnicity.
The Data Protection Principles
include requirements such as:
- Personal
data collected must be processed in a fair, legal, and transparent way and
should only be used in a way that a person would reasonably expect.
- Personal
data should only be collected to fulfil a specific purpose and it should only
be used for that purpose. Organizations must specify why they need the
personal data when they collect it.
- Personal
data should be held no longer than necessary to fulfil its purpose.
- People
covered by the GDPR have the right to access their own personal data. They
can also request a copy of their data, and that their data be updated,
deleted, restricted, or moved to another organization.
Why is GDPR important?
GDPR adds some new requirements regarding
how companies should protect individuals' personal data that they collect and
process. It also raises the stakes for compliance by increasing enforcement and
imposing greater fines for breach. Beyond these facts it's simply the right
thing to do. At Key Innovations Inc. we strongly believe that your data privacy
is very important and we already have solid security and privacy practices in
place that go beyond the requirements of this new regulation.
Individual Data Subject's Rights - Data Access, Portability and Deletion
We are committed to helping our
customers meet the data subject rights requirements of GDPR. Key
Innovations Inc. processes or stores all personal data in fully vetted, DPA
compliant vendors. We do store all conversation and personal data for up to 6
years unless your account is deleted. In which case, we dispose of all data in
accordance with our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, but we will not hold
it longer than 60 days.
We are aware that if you are
working with EU customers, you need to be able to provide them with the ability
to access, update, retrieve and remove personal data. We got you! We've been
set up as self service from the start and have always given you access to your
data and your customers data. Our customer support team is here for you to
answer any questions you might have about working with the API.

Don't hesitate to contact us if
you have any questions.
