Terms, refunds, privacy and support
Written to be read. If something here is unclear, write to info@kiyosoft.com and we will answer in the same plain words.
Terms
The app
Kiyo CRM is an app for keeping track of a business's leads, customers and follow-ups. There is no Kiyosoft account: you do not sign up or sign in to use it.
Pro
Pro adds the features listed on the product page. It is a subscription sold inside the app through Google Play or the App Store, at the price the store shows before you subscribe: ₹499 a month or ₹4,990 a year in India, GST included.
New subscribers get the first 7 days free; cancel before they end and you are not charged. After that the subscription renews by itself at the end of each month or year until you cancel it, which you can do at any time in your Google Play or App Store subscriptions. When it ends, the app goes back to the free version and nothing you entered or drew is lost.
Buying Pro is also subject to the terms of Google Play or the App Store, whichever you bought it through.
Your data
Everything you enter is kept on your phone and belongs to you. Because we never receive it, we cannot recover it for you: keep a backup, and keep your recovery code safe. A backup is encrypted, and without your key or its recovery code nobody, including us, can open it. You are responsible for having your customers' permission to keep their details and to contact them.
Tax figures
Kiyo CRM works out GST from the rates you enter. Check your returns with your accountant; the app is not tax advice.
What we do not promise
We work hard to keep the app right and available, but we cannot promise it is free of mistakes, and our liability is limited to what you paid for Pro in the last twelve months.
Refunds
Pro is paid to Google Play or Apple, so refunds go through them, under their refund policies. We never see your payment details and cannot refund a store purchase ourselves.
- Google Play: follow Google Play's refund steps: find the Pro purchase in your order history and ask for a refund there.
- App Store: go to reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in with your Apple ID, choose the Pro purchase and ask for a refund.
Cancelling stops the next renewal; it does not by itself refund the period already paid for. Cancel during the 7-day free trial and nothing is charged. Manage or cancel Pro in Google Play subscriptions or App Store subscriptions.
If something in Pro does not work as we said it would, write to info@kiyosoft.com too: we would rather put it right.
Privacy
What stays on your phone
Your contacts, companies, leads, follow-ups, activities, meetings, quotations, invoices, payments, photos and everything else you enter are kept only on your phone. Kiyosoft has no server that receives any of it, there is no Kiyosoft account, and the app has no advertising, analytics or tracking of any kind. The app does not encrypt its own data on the phone, so use the phone's screen lock and the app lock.
- Contacts. When you choose a contact from your phone, only that contact's name and number are copied into the app. When you save a contact to your phone, the app adds that one contact. The app never reads or uploads your address book.
- Calls and messages. Call, WhatsApp, SMS and email open the dialler or that app with the number and text filled in, for you to send yourself. The app never reads your call log or your messages.
- Reminders. Follow-up and meeting reminders are scheduled on the phone.
- App lock. Your PIN is stored only as a salted check value, never as the PIN itself. Fingerprint and face unlock are handled by the phone; the app never sees them.
- Backups. Backups are encrypted on the phone with your key before they are saved. A backup you copy or share goes only where you send it, and cannot be opened without the key. If Android's own backup is on, Google may keep a copy of the app's data in your Google account under Google's terms.
Your key and recovery code
The first time it opens, the app makes a random key for your business on the phone, and encrypts your backups with it. The phone saves the key to your own Google account (Google's Block Store) or to iCloud Keychain, so that it comes back by itself on a new phone signed in to the same account; Google and Apple keep it under their own terms, and we never receive it. The app also shows the key as a recovery code for you to write down. Anyone with the recovery code can open your backups, so keep it private.
Buying Pro
Pro is bought through Google Play or the App Store, which take the payment under their own privacy policies; we never see your card, UPI or bank details.
We use RevenueCat, a subscription service, to check whether Pro has been bought. RevenueCat receives an anonymous ID worked out from your key (it cannot be turned back into the key or used to open a backup), the purchase as the store reports it (the product, price, dates, trial and renewal status, and the store's transaction numbers), and the app version, the phone's operating system and the store's country, as RevenueCat's software sends them. It never receives your name or anything you enter in the app. RevenueCat processes this for us under its privacy policy.
What reaches us
Nothing about you or your business, unless you write to us. As the seller, we can see the purchase records Google, Apple and RevenueCat show to developers, such as order numbers, dates and amounts, but nothing you enter in the app. If you email or call us, we keep the message and your contact details to answer you.
We do not sell or share your details with anyone, except where the law requires it.
How long we keep it
Messages you send us, for as long as we need them to answer you. Purchase records, for as long as Indian tax law requires and the stores' and RevenueCat's own policies provide; see deleting your data to have RevenueCat's record removed.
Your rights
Ask info@kiyosoft.com to see, correct or delete what we hold about you. Your business's records are yours to export or erase in the app at any time. Kiyo CRM is meant for businesses and is not directed at children.
If we change this policy, we will update this page first.
Deleting your account and data
There is no Kiyosoft account
Kiyo CRM has no Kiyosoft account, so there is no account to delete, and nothing you enter in the app is held by us.
Your business's records
They are only on your phone, so only you can delete them. In the app, open More, then Data & storage, then Erase all data, or uninstall the app. Backups you copied or shared stay where you put them until you delete them. Without your key and its recovery code, a backup left anywhere cannot be opened by anyone.
Your subscription and purchase records
- Cancel Pro first, in Google Play subscriptions or App Store subscriptions. Uninstalling the app does not cancel it.
- Google and Apple keep their own purchase records under their own policies.
- To have the purchase record RevenueCat keeps for us deleted, write to info@kiyosoft.com, or call +91 96779-00977, with the subject "Delete my Kiyo CRM purchase data". Include the order number from the store's receipt, since we have no name or email for you to find it by. We reply within seven days and delete it within thirty days of finding it. If the subscription is still active, the app may record it again the next time it checks with the store.
Support
Write to info@kiyosoft.com, or call +91 96779-00977. Tell us what you were doing and what you expected. A person reads every message, in English or Tamil, on working days.
The Help screen in the app also answers the common questions. For a payment or a refund, see Refunds.
