How Storing Your Data Works
First off, as we've mentioned we don't store your data without reason, nor do we hold it for longer than necessary. Your data will only be held in the UK on our secure servers and will be governed by laws of England and Wales.
If we do begin to store data outside the UK, we will take reasonable steps to prioritise the security of your data.
Does Your Data Need to Be Shared?
Long story short, no your data doesn't need to be shared.
However, we may need to share it as previously mentioned when we have a good reason to do so, like enhancing the safety of your child or any other reason required by law.
Another reason why we may need to share your data is if we have a contract with a third party who may need your personal data for the same reason we do (or whatever reason they may have). Before we do that, we will notify all users prior to this engagement.
Do You Have Access to Your Own Data?
Yup, you have the full right to ask for a copy of all the data we have stored about you. If this is something that you’d like to get your hands on, send us an email at support@knowled.gg.
