Cloak Apps



v.s. another Cloud Data Service



1. The Information We Collect And Store

Files

Cloak and Vault Enterprise Security-as-a-Service implements optional or user configured Privacy-by-Design features. With Privacy-by-Design, Clault and its service providers are unable to read the encrypted files you stored in our services. For ease of use, your keys are created and may be recovered at our servers. If configured by user or enabled under an upgraded service plan, Clault does not store your master key and is unable to decrypt your files during lawful third party requests, such as a subpeona or court order. Users are responsible for the safeguard of their master key, which is used in user key and data recovery.

We collect and store the files you upload, download, or access with our Service (“Files”). If you add a file to your service that has been previously uploaded by you or another user, we may associate all or a portion of the previousfile with your account rather than storing a duplicate.

2. Information You Provide

Cloak Apps collects a minimal set of user information to enable the services we provide to you. Examples of Information collected include your name, phone number, email address and home and business postal addresses.

We do not collect credit card information and handle corporate billing in typical corporate processes.

When you invite others ot join Clault by using our referral page, we send them a one-time email for the referral. You may also provide us with your contacts’ email addresses when sharing folders and files with them.

When you register an account, we collect some personal information, such as your name, phone number, credit card or other billing information, email address and home and business postal addresses. You may also ask us to import your contacts by giving us access to your third party services (for example, your email account) or to use your social networking information if you give us access to your account on social network connection services. When you invite others to join the service by using our referral page, we send them a one-time email for that referral. You may also provide us with your contacts’ email addresses when sharing folders or files with them. We may also receive Personal Information (for example, your email address) through other users, for example if they have tried to share something with you or tried to refer us to you.

3. Cookies

Cloak Apps minimize the use of “Cookies”. We do not save your password in Cookies.

We also use “cookies” to collect information and improve our Services. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your Device. We may use “persistent cookies” to save your registration ID and login password for future logins to the Service. We may use “session ID cookies” to enable certain features of the Service, to better understand how you interact with the Service and to monitor aggregate usage and web traffic routing on the Service. You can instruct your browser, by changing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all aspects of the Service.

4.2 Geo-Location Information

Cloak Apps services may collect real-time location-based information (for example, GPS) from our users, with your consent.

Some Devices allow applications to access real-time location-based information (for example, GPS). Our mobile apps do not collect such information from your mobile device at any time while you download or use our mobile apps as of the date this policy went into effect, but may do so in the future with your consent to improve our Services. Some photos and videos you place in our service may contain recorded location information. We may use this information to optimize your experience. If you do not wish to share files embedded with your geo-location information with us, please do not upload them. If you don’t want to store location data in your photos or videos, please consult the documentation for your camera to turn off that feature. Also, some of the information we collect from a Device, for example IP address, can sometimes be used to approximate a Device’s location.

5. Analytics

We also collect some information by ourselves using logging, such as IP address, which can sometimes be correlated with Personal Information. We use this information for the above purposes and to monitor and analyze use of the Service, for the Service’s technical administration, to increase our Service’s functionality and user-friendliness, and to verify users have the authorization needed for the Service to process their requests. We use Google analytics to keep track of visitor statistics to our website. For our mobile applications on IOS and Android, we use flurry Analytics, which user can choose to opt out at: http://www.flurry.com/user-opt-out.html.
