Privacy Policy

Last updated: 3rd January 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Kollect ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you use https://www.kollectnow.com (the "Service").

We believe in keeping things clear and minimal. We only collect what's needed to run Kollect effectively.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide

We may collect:

  • your name
  • your email address

This typically happens when you:

  • create or organise an event
  • join an event
  • make or receive a payment

Participant accounts may be created automatically as part of joining or paying for an event.

Payment information

Payments are handled by a third-party payment provider.

We do not store:

  • card details
  • bank account details
  • identity verification documents

This information is collected and processed directly by the payment provider in accordance with their own privacy policy and legal obligations.

Automatically collected information

When you use Kollect, we may collect limited technical data such as:

  • device type and browser
  • approximate location (e.g. country)

This helps us understand how Kollect is used and improve the experience.

We do not sell your personal data.

We do not send marketing emails at this time.

We do not use advertising cookies.

5. Legal Basis for Processing (UK GDPR)

We only share personal data when necessary to:

  • process payments

Any third parties we work with are required to protect your data and use it only for agreed purposes.

7. Data Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary to:

  • provide the Service
  • meet legal, accounting, or regulatory requirements
  • resolve disputes or enforce our terms

When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymised.

You have the right to:

  • access your personal data
  • request correction of inaccurate data
  • request deletion of your data (where legally permitted)
  • object to or restrict certain processing
  • request a copy of your data

9. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from loss, misuse, or unauthorised access.

No system is completely secure, but we work hard to keep your information safe.

10. Children's Privacy

Kollect is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

11. Changes to This Policy
