1. Introduction

Kiskiss ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy governs our collection, use, disclosure, potential sale, retention, and protection of your information when you access or use our mobile application, website, and related services (collectively the "Service"). By using the Service, you acknowledge and consent to the data practices outlined in this document, which complies with global privacy regulations including GDPR, CCPA, VCDPA, PIPA, and CPA.

Critical Update Commitment: Kiskiss maintains a proactive, frequent update schedule for this Privacy Policy—we will update this document multiple times within a single calendar year (including quarterly reviews, bi-annual security updates and ad-hoc adjustments for regulatory changes). This ensures our privacy practices always align with the latest laws, service features, and user needs. This policy was last updated today (March 25, 2026), with the next update scheduled for April 2026.

2. Data Controller Information

For applicable data protection laws (GDPR, CCPA, VCDPA, etc.), the data controller responsible for processing your personal information is Kiskiss Digital Services Ltd., the sole entity determining the purposes and means of your personal data processing, and liable for compliance with all global privacy regulations. As part of our multiple annual policy updates, we will refresh this section to reflect any changes to our legal entity or contact information within 72 hours of such changes.

3. Information We Collect

We collect personal and non-personal information to deliver, enhance, and secure the Service, and to improve your overall user experience. As part of our multiple annual policy updates (including updates today, March 25, 2026), we will revise this section to add/remove collected information types as we launch new Service features, with prior user notification for all material changes.

Collection occurs only when you install and launch the Kiskiss app, and may be limited by adjusting your device’s privacy settings (note: this may affect certain Service features). Device IDs are used for:

4. How We Use Your Information

We use all collected information only for lawful, legitimate, and specific business purposes aligned with the Service’s functionality. We review and update our information usage practices quarterly (4 times per year)—this includes today’s update (March 25, 2026) where we added limitations on usage of location data for non-regional features.

We review and update our data sharing practices quarterly (4 times per year)—today’s update (March 25, 2026) added a new section clarifying that we do not share Device ID data with ad networks. Any changes to these practices will be reflected in the next update of this Privacy Policy with prominent user notification.

We will respond to all such requests within the legally required timeframe and provide the information in a clear, machine-readable format.

5.2 Circumstances for Data Sharing

We implement industry-leading technical, administrative, and physical security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our security measures are audited and updated multiple times per year—today’s update (March 25, 2026) added end-to-end encryption for all direct messages (previously only for payment data). Key security safeguards include:

While no electronic storage/transmission method is 100% secure, we take all reasonable steps to protect your data. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials (password, verification codes). Notify us immediately at jfgufjgf90@gmail.com if you suspect unauthorized account access.

9. Children’s Privacy

The Kiskiss Service is not intended for individuals under the age of 18 (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose personal information from children under this age, and our age verification processes are updated at least once per year—today’s update (March 25, 2026) added a second age verification step during account creation. This strengthens compliance with COPPA and other global children’s privacy laws.

If we become aware that we have collected data from a child without parental/guardian consent, we will delete such data within 72 hours. Parents/guardians may contact us at jfgufjgf90@gmail.com to report suspected child data collection or request the deletion of such data.

This policy was last updated today (March 25, 2026), and we have scheduled updates for April 2026, July 2026, and October 2026 (in addition to ad-hoc updates as needed).

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect: changes in global privacy regulations, new Service features or functionality, updates to our data collection/use/sharing practices, or emerging cybersecurity threats. All updates are reviewed by our Data Protection Officer and Legal Department to ensure full compliance with applicable laws.
