If you do not agree to the terms, you may not access or use the Services and Websites or provide any information to Kwikqy at all.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party applications or software integrated with the Services through the Kwikqy platform ("Third Party Services"), or other third-party products, services, or companies.
In addition, a separate agreement governs the provision, access, and use of the Services (the "Terms of Service"), including the processing of messages, files, or other content submitted through the Services (collectively, "Customer Data"). The Customer entering into the Agreement initially controls the Services (the "Workspace") and all associated Customer Data.
If you are not a direct customer of Kwikqy and have specific questions about Workspace settings and the Privacy Policy, please contact the Customer whose Workspace you are using. If you have received an invitation to join a Kwikqy Workspace as an Authorized User but have not yet created an account, you must ask the Customer who sent the invitation for assistance.
Information we collect and receive
Kwikqy may collect and receive Customer Data and other information and data (“Other Information”) in a variety of ways:
Customer Data. Customer, Customer's customers, or individuals (collectively, "Authorized Users") who are accessed a Workspace by Customer routinely submit Customer Data to Kwikqy when using the Services.
Other information. Kwikqy also collects, generates and/or receives other information:

To create, update and/or log in a Workspace, you provide or provides your customer (for example your employer or the company where you are a customer that grants you access to the Kwikqy Community) Kwikqy an email address, telephone number , password, domain and/or similar account information.

For example, Kwikqy records the Workspaces, channels, users, features, content and links that you view or use, the types of files that are shared and which third-party services are used (if any).
Log data. As with most websites and technology services delivered over the Internet, our servers automatically collect information when you access or use our Websites or Services and record it in log files.

If your personal data is processed by Kwikqy, you have at least the following rights vis-à-vis us, subject to any exceptions provided for by law:
Right to access the personal data we hold about you. We are always willing to provide you with a clear and complete overview of the personal data we have collected about you so far.
Right to rectification, completion or update of your personal data. Are you a user of our tool and/or app? Then we would like to point out that you are primarily responsible for making the necessary adjustments to your personal user account.
Right to be forgotten. If you delete or have deleted certain necessary personal data, it is possible that certain Services will no longer be accessible or can no longer be provided.

For example, we are legally obliged to keep invoices for a period of seven years (and sometimes longer).
Right to restriction of the processing of your personal data. It may happen that we are temporarily no longer allowed to use your data, but also cannot delete it (yet). This can occur, for example, if you object to the processing of your personal data on the basis of our legitimate interest as a company.

You can also exercise your privacy rights free of charge by contacting us at dpo@kwikqy.com. We will reply as soon as possible - no later than one month after we have received your request.
Do you want to exercise your right of access, right to rectification, right to deletion or right to portability? Then we are forced to verify your identity first. This is to prevent us from disclosing personal information without making sure it is you. For that reason, we at least ask that you send us a copy of the front of your identity card. If we have reasons to doubt your identity, we may request additional information for confirmation.
