Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how KinouLeads (“KinouLeads,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use our website at www.kinouleads.com and our related application and services (together, the “Service”). KinouLeads is a bring-your-own-keys B2B outbound platform: you connect your own accounts (email, Apollo, AI providers) and we orchestrate lead discovery, enrichment, AI copy, sending, follow-ups, and a unified inbox on your behalf. We designed the Service around data minimization — we ask for the fewest permissions needed, and we never sell your data.
1. Information we collect
We collect only what we need to run the Service you have enabled:
- Account information — your name, email address, password (stored hashed, never in plaintext), workspace details, and role.
- Credentials you connect — API keys and OAuth tokens for the third-party services you choose to link (e.g. email providers, Apollo, and AI providers). These are encrypted at rest with per-workspace keys and are used solely to operate the features you turn on.
- Lead and contact data — the business-contact information you import, discover, or enrich (such as names, job titles, companies, business email addresses, and LinkedIn URLs) to run your outreach.
- Content you create — templates, campaigns, sequences, and messages; and, where you connect an inbox, the replies and conversation metadata needed to power your unified inbox.
- Usage and device data — log data, IP address, browser and device type, and actions in the Service, used for security, debugging, and product improvement.
- Payment data — handled by our payment processor. We do not store full card numbers on our servers.
2. Google user data (Gmail API)
If you connect a Google account, KinouLeads requests access to your Gmail through Google’s OAuth consent screen. We request only the minimum scopes needed for the features you enable:
- Send email on your behalf (
gmail.send) — to send the campaigns and follow-ups you configure, from your connected mailbox. - Read your mailbox (
gmail.readonly) — to detect and display replies in your unified inbox. KinouLeads does not change Gmail labels or archive/trash Gmail messages. - Basic identity (
openid,email,profile) — to identify the connected account.
We access this data only to operate features you have turned on. We do not sell it, use it for advertising, or use it to develop, improve, or train generalized AI or machine-learning models. Human access is limited to what is strictly necessary to operate or secure the feature, to comply with law, or with your explicit consent.
Google API Services — Limited Use. KinouLeads’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
You can disconnect a Google account at any time inside the Service, and you can revoke KinouLeads’s access directly at myaccount.google.com/permissions. Revoking stops all further use of your Gmail data.
3. How we use information
- To provide, operate, secure, and maintain the Service and the features you enable.
- To send outbound email and follow-ups from the accounts you connect.
- To display replies and conversation state in your unified inbox and CRM.
- To prevent abuse, enforce our terms, and troubleshoot problems.
- To communicate with you about your account, billing, security, and support.
Legal bases (EEA/UK). Where the GDPR applies, we process personal data to perform our contract with you, to pursue our legitimate interests in operating and securing the Service, to comply with legal obligations, and — where required — with your consent.
5. International data transfers
We and our subprocessors may process data in countries other than yours. Where we transfer personal data internationally, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or an equivalent lawful transfer mechanism.
6. Data retention
We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. Disconnecting a provider removes its stored credentials; deleting your workspace removes its associated data. Some data may be retained for a limited period as required for legal, security, dispute-resolution, or backup purposes. You can request deletion at any time by contacting support@kinouleads.com.
7. Security
Connected credentials and tokens are encrypted at rest with per-workspace keys; access is authenticated and scoped per workspace; and traffic is served over HTTPS/TLS. We apply least-privilege access controls and monitor for abuse. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we use industry-standard safeguards to protect your data and will notify affected users of a data breach as required by law.
8. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export (portability), delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, and to object to certain processing or withdraw consent.
- EEA/UK (GDPR). You may exercise the rights above and lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.
- California (CCPA/CPRA). You may request access to or deletion of your personal information and to know what we collect. We do not sell or “share” personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
To exercise any right, email support@kinouleads.com. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law and will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
10. Your responsibilities as a data controller
When you use KinouLeads to process the personal data of your leads and recipients, you act as the data controller and KinouLeads acts as your processor. You are responsible for having a lawful basis for your outreach, honoring opt-outs and unsubscribe requests, and complying with applicable laws (including CAN-SPAM, CASL, GDPR, and ePrivacy). A Data Processing Addendum is available on request.
11. Children
The Service is intended for business use and is not directed to individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, by notifying you in the Service. Your continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
