This Privacy Policy explains how the Komos mobile application
("the App", "we", "us") collects, uses, and protects your personal data.
By using the App, you agree to the practices described here.
Account information: your phone number and first name, provided when you sign up.
Phone verification: your phone number is sent to our SMS provider (Twilio) to deliver a one-time verification code.
Profile (optional): profile photo(s), date of birth, city, profile tags and prompts, and your dietary preferences and allergies if you choose to provide them. This information is only visible to users you interact with in the App, to make organizing events easier.
Content you create: events, messages (text, photos, GIFs, and voice messages), polls, shopping lists, expenses, carpool rides, photos and videos you upload, and the music you pick for video recaps.
Event locations: the address (and its coordinates) you enter for an event. The App never accesses your device's GPS location.
Phone calendar (optional): if you enable the corresponding option, the App reads your calendar to display your busy days and can add your parties to it. This happens locally on your device: your calendar events are never sent to our servers.
Push notification token: a device token used to send you notifications about your parties.
Technical data: basic logs (date, IP address, error reports) needed to operate and secure the service.
3. How we use your data, and legal bases
To create and manage your account and authenticate you (performance of the contract).
To provide the core features of the App: organizing events, date polls, chat, shopping lists, shared expenses, carpooling, photo galleries, polls, and video recaps (performance of the contract).
To automatically transcribe voice messages so they can be displayed as text (legitimate interest).
To send you push notifications related to your activity (consent, revocable in your device settings).
To display your busy days from your phone calendar (consent, can be disabled at any time in the App).
To maintain the security, stability, and integrity of the service (legitimate interest).
We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use it for advertising.
4. Hosting in France
The App's data (database) and your media (photos, videos, voice messages, recaps)
are hosted in France by OVHcloud (OVH SAS, 2 rue Kellermann,
59100 Roubaix, France).
5. Sharing with third parties
We share data only with service providers strictly necessary to operate the App:
Mistral AI (France) — automatic transcription of voice messages (the audio file is transmitted for transcription).
In addition, some features query third-party services directly from your
device (your IP address is then transmitted to them, as with any Internet
request): Klipy for GIF search, the French public
Base Adresse Nationale (api-adresse.data.gouv.fr) for address
autocompletion, and Apple iTunes Search for recap music search.
No data from your account is shared with them.
Your content is also visible to other users you explicitly invite to or share a party with.
6. Data retention
We keep your data for as long as your account is active. When you delete your
account (available directly in the App: Settings → "Delete my account"), your
personal data and content are removed within a reasonable period, except where
retention is required by law. Technical logs are kept for a limited period,
as needed for the security of the service.
7. Your rights
Under the GDPR, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, port, restrict, and
object to the processing of your personal data. You can delete your account
directly in the App, or exercise these rights by contacting us at the address
below. You may also lodge a complaint with the French supervisory authority, the
CNIL (cnil.fr).
8. Data security
Data is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS) and stored on secured
servers. Media are served through signed, time-limited links. Access to personal
data is restricted to what is necessary to run the service.
9. Children
The App is not intended for children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your
country). We do not knowingly collect data from children.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy. The "Last updated" date above reflects the latest
revision. Significant changes will be communicated within the App.
