This Privacy Policy ("Policy") is entered into by Kode Kinetics LLC, a Virginia-based company ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") as the sole owner and operator of the Tawil mobile application and related services ("App"). This Policy governs the manner in which we collect, use, store, disclose, and protect your data when you interact with the App. By downloading, registering with, or using the App, you (the "User") agree to the terms outlined below. If you do not agree, you must refrain from accessing the App and uninstall it immediately.
This Policy applies to all users of the Tawil App worldwide, all forms of data (including Personal Data and non-identifiable usage information), and all interactions with the App, including offline support requests and emails.
Your data is used for the following lawful purposes:
No automated decision-making or profiling is performed that significantly affects users.
We Do Not Sell Data.
Permissible sharing includes:
| Type | Recipients | Safeguards |
|---|---|---|
| Service Providers | AWS, Firebase, Google Maps, Stripe, etc. | Binding Data Processing Agreements (DPA) |
| Community Interactions | Other users (for public posts only) | Voluntary disclosure with clear opt-in |
| Legal Requests | Law enforcement, regulators, courts | Only upon valid subpoena, court order, or applicable legal process. We do not voluntarily provide government access to user data unless legally compelled and verified. |
| Business Transfers | Successor entity in case of merger/acquisition | Subject to continued protection of your data |
All data sharing is conducted under the principle of data minimization and necessity. We reserve the right to challenge or reject any unlawful or overly broad data access request by government agencies. Any such request will be subject to legal review and user notification wherever permitted by law.
Your data may be transferred to servers located outside your country, including the United States. In such cases, we apply adequate protection mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs), or consent-based processing.
We implement multiple layers of security to mitigate risks, including AES-256 encryption for sensitive data, TLS for all network communications, access control, least privilege architecture, monthly vulnerability assessments, and logging and monitoring of data access. However, no system is immune to breaches, and we do not guarantee absolute security. In case of a data breach, we will notify affected users within 72 hours as required by law.
Data is retained only for the duration necessary for stated purposes. Inactive accounts are reviewed annually for deletion. Backups are retained securely and deleted after 30 days. Users can request deletion of their account and data via info@kodekinetics.com. We may retain minimal data to satisfy legal obligations, prevent fraud, or resolve disputes.
If you are located in the EU, UK, California, or other regulated territories, you have the following rights:
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@kodekinetics.com. Identity verification will be required.
Users agree to provide accurate and lawful information, refrain from posting discriminatory, violent, or harassing content, respect the intellectual property of others, and avoid use of automation, bots, or scraping tools. Violation may result in account suspension or permanent removal, at our sole discretion.
The App may link to or integrate with third-party tools (e.g., Google Maps, YouTube, Stripe, Firebase). These services are governed by their own privacy policies. We are not liable for how third parties handle your data.
The App is not directed at children under 13 years of age (or age defined by applicable law). We do not knowingly collect their data. If we discover unauthorized data, we will delete it promptly.
We are not liable for any content voluntarily shared by users. We disclaim responsibility for data loss, unauthorized access, or system failure unless proven gross negligence. All disputes shall be resolved under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and jurisdiction shall rest with the courts located in Prince William County, Virginia, USA.
We reserve the right to amend this Policy at any time. If changes are material, we will notify users through the App or by email. Continued use constitutes acceptance of revised terms.
