1. Introduction

KronosPay LLC ("Kronos," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and safeguard your data when you use the Kronos mobile application, website, and related services. By using Kronos, you consent to the practices described in this policy. This notice is provided in compliance with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), and other applicable federal and state privacy regulations.

2. Information We Collect

Personal Information: When you create an account, we collect your full name, email address, phone number, date of birth, Social Security Number (for KYC verification), and mailing address.

Financial Information: We collect banking details (account and routing numbers), transaction history, direct deposit information, and linked debit/credit card details to facilitate our services. Debit card data is processed and stored in compliance with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS).

Gig Platform Data: If you connect gig platform accounts (Uber, DoorDash, Lyft, Instacart, and others), we collect earnings data, work history, and payout schedules to provide earnings tracking and advance eligibility.

Biometric Data: If you enable biometric authentication (Face ID, Touch ID, or fingerprint), your biometric data is processed locally on your device by your operating system. Kronos does not collect, store, or transmit raw biometric data to our servers. We only receive a confirmation of successful biometric verification from your device.

Device & Usage Data: We automatically collect device type, operating system, IP address, app usage patterns, session duration, and crash reports to improve our services and detect fraud.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to: provide, operate, and maintain our banking, advance, crypto, and savings services; verify your identity and comply with KYC/AML regulations; process transactions and send notifications; calculate advance eligibility and subscription billing; detect, prevent, and investigate fraudulent or unauthorized activity; communicate important account updates and promotional offers; perform automated risk assessments for advance eligibility and fraud prevention; and improve our products through aggregated analytics.

4. Automated Decision-Making & Profiling

Kronos uses automated systems to make certain decisions that may affect your account, including: advance eligibility and limit calculations (based on deposit history and account activity), fraud risk scoring (based on transaction patterns and device data), and account risk assessments. You have the right to request an explanation of any automated decision that significantly affects your account. To request a review, contact support@getkronos.io.

We do not disclose NPI to non-affiliated third parties except as permitted by law, including: to process your transactions, to protect against fraud, to comply with legal requirements, and with service providers who are contractually obligated to keep your information confidential.

All third-party service providers are bound by data processing agreements that require them to protect your information and use it only for the purposes we specify.

7. Data Security

We implement industry-leading security measures to protect your data, including: 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data in transit and at rest; biometric and two-factor authentication; real-time transaction fraud monitoring; SOC 2-compliant cloud infrastructure; PCI DSS compliance for payment card data; regular third-party security audits and penetration testing; role-based access controls for internal data access; and encrypted database backups with geographic redundancy.

The notification will include: the nature of the breach, the types of data affected, the steps we are taking to address it, and recommended actions you can take to protect yourself. We will also notify applicable state attorneys general and regulatory authorities as required by law. Where appropriate, we will offer complimentary credit monitoring services to affected users.
