Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 21, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes Our policies and procedures on the collection, use, and disclosure of Your information when You use the Service and tells You about Your privacy rights and how the law protects You.

At Kyves, we prioritize user privacy. The core philosophy of the Application is to store your data locally and securely, without cloud synchronization, user accounts, or external data collection.

1. Interpretation and Definitions

Definitions

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy:

2. Data Collection and Usage

Important: Kyves does NOT collect, access, store, or upload any of your personal database content, contacts, location, photos, or passwords to any external servers. There is no online account creation; all access control is managed strictly on your device.

Local Storage & Encryption

Ephemeral Data Processing (IP Address)

To comply with regional regulations, local policies (such as those in specific jurisdictions), and to verify user eligibility, the Application transmits your device's Internet Protocol (IP) address to a server to determine your country or state. This process is strictly ephemeral. The IP address is processed in the server's memory solely for the duration of the real-time regional verification check. It is immediately destroyed afterwards and is never saved, logged, stored, or linked to your identity in any database or storage system.

Information You Provide Voluntarily (Support)

If you contact us directly via email for technical support or inquiries, we will only use your email address and any information you provide to address your request and improve our service. We do not use this data for marketing or share it with third parties.

Third-Party Payment Processing

The Application provides paid features or products (In-App Purchases). In this case, we use third-party services for payment processing:

3. Disclosure and Legal Requirements

Since we do not collect or store your personal data, we do not have data to share, sell, or disclose to third parties, law enforcement, or corporate affiliates.

4. Delete Your Personal Data

Since Kyves stores all encrypted data locally on your device and only processes your IP address ephemerally, we do not store any user data on our servers. Therefore, there is no data for us to delete from our side.

If you wish to delete your local app data, you can do so at any time by uninstalling the application or clearing the app storage in your device settings. Please note that you are also responsible for manually deleting any encrypted database backup files you may have generated and stored on your device or cloud storage. For any privacy-related inquiries, you can contact us at softaplicable@gmail.com.

5. Children's Privacy

Our Service does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18, as we do not collect data from any user regardless of age.

6. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update Our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting the updated policy text on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
