Privacy Policy for Mobile Applications
KSITM may obtain additional information through Mobile Applications that Customer or their Users download to their mobile device (“Device”). Mobile Applications we provide may obtain or collect information from a User’s Devices in connection with the User’s use of the Subscription Service, and are designed to interoperate with the Subscription Service; for instance, to provide a User with access to information within the Subscription Service or to provide information from a User’s Device to the Subscription Service. In order to provide and operate the Mobile Applications, we need certain information from the User, and without that information our Mobile Applications wouldn’t work as per the design. For example, we ask Users to provide some personal information, such as login credentials to access and use the Subscription Service through the Mobile Applications. We may only be able to collect some of this information if the Device settings allow it, so Users should always review our Mobile Applications settings under the Device settings menu to select what information Users are happy for apps like ours to access or not to access. Our Mobile Applications may also provide us with information regarding a User’s Devices and OS identification, language, and time zone. Mobile Applications may also collect information regarding a User’s interaction with Mobile Applications, which may use to provide and improve the Mobile Application and Services. We may also obtain information when Users report a problem with our Mobile Applications. We may disclose the User’s information to law enforcement, competent government authorities, court and other third parties where we believe are required to do so by applicable law or regulation (including a court order), or where we believe disclosure is necessary to exercise, establish or defend legal rights or to protect the vital interests of any person. Contractual terms related to a particular Mobile Application may be found in the End User License Agreement or relevant terms of service for that application.
