Keepsafe Software, Inc. ("Keepsafe", "we", "us" or "our") provides an incognito browser mobile app ("Keepsafe Browser") designed to protect private web searches and prevent tracking. Keepsafe understands that your privacy is important to you and that you care about how your Personal Data is used. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your Personal Data.
This Privacy Policy applies to our collection, use and sharing of your Personal Data when making available Keepsafe Browser. This Privacy Policy relates only to Keepsafe's processing of Personal Data through its Keepsafe Browser mobile app; it does not apply to Keepsafe's processing of Personal Data through any of its other products or websites, such as https://www.getkeepsafe.com/. For the avoidance of doubt, this Privacy Policy also does not apply to our employees or independent contractors or job candidates, or to representatives of businesses with which we have a business relationship.
For reference, when we refer to "Personal Data", we mean any information which identifies you as an individual or which otherwise renders you identifiable.
When we use the term "GDPR", we are referring to both the so-called UK General Data Protection Regulation ("UK GDPR") and/or the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 ("EU GDPR") (as and where applicable in the circumstances). Under the GDPR, we are a 'controller' for the activities covered by this Privacy Policy.
The Personal Data we typically collect about you is outlined in the table below.
| Category of Personal Data | What this means |
|---|---|
| Search query data | Any Personal Data contained within search queries that you enter into our Browser product. |
No obligation to provide Personal Data. You do not have to provide Personal Data to us. However, where we need to process your Personal Data either to comply with applicable law or to deliver Keepsafe Browser, and you fail to provide that Personal Data when requested, we may not be able to provide some or all parts of Keepsafe Browser. We will notify you if this is the case at the time.
Don't give us sensitive information. We ask that you do not provide us with any sensitive types of Personal Data (e.g., health-related information, information related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or other beliefs, criminal convictions information etc) — whether through Keepsafe Browser or otherwise. For example, please do not input any of these types of sensitive information in any free-text 'message' fields via which you can communicate with us on Keepsafe Browser (e.g., using any 'Contact Us' functionality or similar).
We use your Personal Data for the purposes listed below and any associated sharing of Personal Data (see the section called How We Share Your Personal Data, below).
In respect of each of the purposes for which we use your Personal Data, the GDPR requires us to establish a 'legal basis' for that use. Our legal bases for processing your Personal Data described in this Privacy Policy are listed below.

Privacy Protective StepsPurpose: We may aggregate, deidentify or anonymise certain Personal Data for our legitimate business purposes. If we aggregate, deidentify or anonymise your Personal Data such that it is no longer Personal Data (i.e., it can no longer be associated with you), we may use this information as non-Personal Data indefinitely without further notice to you. Categories of Personal Data: Any and all data types relevant in the circumstances Legal basis: Legitimate Interests. We have a legitimate interest in taking steps to ensure that how we use Personal Data is as un-privacy intrusive as possible. We believe it is also in your interests that we take these privacy protective steps. |
Compliance and ProtectionPurpose: To comply with applicable laws, lawful requests, and legal process (such as to respond to disclosure orders or similar, as well as investigations or requests from government authorities); to protect our, your or others' rights, privacy, safety or property (including by making and defending legal claims); to audit our internal processes for compliance with legal and contractual requirements or our internal policies; to enforce the terms of agreements that govern access to Keepsafe Browser; and to prevent, identify, investigate and deter fraudulent, harmful, unauthorised, unethical or illegal activity, including cyberattacks and identity theft.

Categories of Personal Data: Any and all data types relevant in the circumstances Legal basis: Legitimate Interests. We and any relevant third parties have a legitimate interest in us providing information to certain third parties who are involved in or assisting with actual or prospective corporate transaction for these purposes. |
Opt-out of communications. You may opt-out of service-related emails by following the opt-out or unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of the email, or by contacting us. It may take time for your opt-out to be effective.
Declining to provide information. We need to collect personal information to provide certain services. If you do not provide the information we identify as required or mandatory, we may not be able to provide those services.
If applicable, the GDPR may give you certain rights regarding your Personal Data and how we process it in certain circumstances, meaning you may ask us to take the following actions in relation to your Personal Data:
To exercise any of the rights described above, please contact us using the contact details shown below.
We may request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and process your request. Whether or not we are required to fulfil any request you make will depend on a number of factors (e.g., why and how we are processing your Personal Data), if we reject any request you may make (whether in whole or in part) we will let you know our grounds for doing so at the time, subject to any legal restrictions. Typically, you will not have to pay a fee to exercise your rights; however, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive.
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within a month of receipt. It may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or if you have made a number of requests; in this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
We may share your Personal Data with the following categories of recipient and as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, in other applicable notices, or at the time of collection.
Affiliates. In some cases, our corporate parent, subsidiaries, and affiliates might have access to your Personal Data.
Service providers. Third parties that provide services on our behalf or help us operate parts of Keepsafe Browser or our business (such as our hosting providers, information technology/security providers, customer support, email delivery, marketing, consumer research and website analytics).
Third parties designated by you. We may share your Personal Data with third parties where you have instructed us or provided your consent to do so.
Professional advisors. Professional advisors, such as lawyers, auditors, bankers and insurers, where necessary in the course of the professional services that they render to us.
Authorities and others. Law enforcement, government authorities, and private parties in litigation, as we believe in good faith to be necessary or appropriate in the circumstances.
Parties to corporate events. We may disclose Personal Data in the context of actual or prospective corporate events (e.g., investments in Keepsafe, financing of Keepsafe, or the sale, transfer or merger of all or part of our business, assets or shares), for example, we may need to share certain Personal Data with prospective counterparties and their advisers. We may also disclose your Personal Data to an acquirer, successor, or assignee of Keepsafe as part of any acquisition, sale of assets, or similar transaction, and/or in the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership in which Personal Data is transferred to one or more third parties as one of our business assets.
We may share your Personal Data with third parties who are based outside the UK and European Economic Area ("Europe"), including the United States.
Where we share your Personal Data with third parties who are based outside Europe, we try to ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by implementing one of the following mechanisms:
You may contact us using the contact details below if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your Personal Data outside of Europe.
Keepsafe Browser is not intended for use by anyone under 18 years of age. If you are a parent or guardian of a minor from whom you believe we have collected personal information in a manner prohibited by law, or if information was provided on your behalf when you were under 18, please contact us. If we learn that we have collected personal information through Keepsafe Browser from a child without the consent of the child's parent or guardian as required by law, we will comply with applicable legal requirements to delete the information.
We employ technical, organisational and physical safeguards designed to protect your Personal Data (including to prevent your Personal Data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed).
Please note that despite the efforts described above, as Keepsafe Browser is hosted electronically, we can make no guarantees as to the security or privacy of your information.
We are committed to only keeping your Personal Data for so long as we reasonably need to use it for the purposes set out above, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, to establish or defend legal claims, or for fraud prevention purposes. This general rule applies unless a longer retention period is required by law.
To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Data, we may consider factors such as the length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you and provide services to you; the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Data; the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your Personal Data; the purposes for which we process your Personal Data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means; whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject (for example, certain laws require us to keep records of your transactions for a certain period of time before we can delete them); applicable legal requirements; and whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position, such as in regard to applicable statutes of limitations, litigation or regulatory investigations. For example, we will retain your personal information for as long as you have an account with us or keep using our services, and the length of time thereafter during which we may have a legitimate need to reference your personal information to address issues that may arise.
When we no longer require the Personal Data that we have collected about you, we will either delete, de-identify, or anonymise it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your Personal Data has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your Personal Data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
Keepsafe Browser may include links to third-party websites, platforms, plug-ins and applications. These links and integrations are not an endorsement of, or representation that we are affiliated with, any third party. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share your Personal Data.
We do not control websites, mobile applications or online services operated by third parties and are not responsible for their privacy statements or practices. When you leave Keepsafe Browser, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of every site you visit.
If you would like to make a complaint regarding this Privacy Policy or our practices in relation to your Personal Data, please contact us using the contact details shown below. We will reply to your complaint as soon as we can.

Except as otherwise provided, this section applies to residents of California and other states to the extent they have privacy laws applicable to us that grant their residents the rights described below (collectively, the "State Privacy Laws").
This State Privacy Rights Notice at Collection is part of our full Privacy Policy.
This section describes how we collect, retain, use, disclose, sell and share for the purposes of targeted advertising personal information of residents of these states and the rights these users may have with respect to their personal information. Please note that not all rights listed below may be afforded to all individuals and that if your state does not afford you these rights, you may not be able to exercise these rights. In addition, we may not be able to process your access, correction or deletion request if you do not provide us with sufficient detail to allow us to confirm your identity and understand and respond to your request.
For purposes of this section, the term "personal information" means information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person, or that is reasonably capable of being used to identify, contact, or precisely locate a natural person, household, or a particular computing system or device.
We do not attempt to reidentify deidentified information derived from personal information, except for the purpose of testing whether our deidentification processes comply with applicable law.
You may request to exercise the rights listed below. We will respond to your request in accordance with applicable law. We may decline to honor your request where an exception applies.
You may submit requests to exercise these rights via email to privacy@getkeepsafe.com.
We cannot process your request if you do not provide us with sufficient detail to allow us to understand and respond to it.
We may need to verify your identity to process your know, access, correction, or deletion requests and reserve the right to confirm your residency. To verify your identity, we may require authentication into an online account with us (if you have one), information that we match against information we maintain about you, government identification, a declaration under penalty of perjury, or other information, where permitted by law.
Under some State Privacy Laws, you may enable an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. However, we may need to verify your authorized agent's identity and authority to act on your behalf. Depending on the kind of request you have made, we may require a copy of a valid power of attorney given to your authorized agent pursuant to applicable law. If you have not provided your agent with such a power of attorney, we may ask you to take additional steps permitted by law to verify that your request is authorized, such as by providing your agent with written and signed permission to exercise your State Privacy Law rights on your behalf, the information we request to verify your identity, or confirmation that you have given the authorized agent permission to submit the request.
We have summarized the personal information we collect and may disclose, sell to or share with third parties by reference below to both the categories of personal information described in the What Personal Data We Collect, How We Use Your Personal Data and Why, and How We Share Your Personal Data sections above and the categories of personal information specified in state law.

We generally retain personal information to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, to establish or defend legal claims, or for fraud prevention purposes. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, including Sensitive Personal Information, we may consider factors such as the length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you and provide services to you; the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information; the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information; the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means; whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject (for example, certain laws require us to keep records of your transactions for a certain period of time before we can delete them); whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position, such as in regard to applicable statutes of limitations, litigation or regulatory investigations; and applicable legal requirements. For example, we will retain your personal information for as long as you have an account with us or keep using our services, and the length of time thereafter during which we may have a legitimate need to reference your personal information to address issues that may arise.
