Introduction
CommonKey offers a web application for storing, controlling, and sharing "secrets" (username/passwords) for both company and personal use. CommonKey stores secrets fully encrypted through user-specific and generated encryption keys that are used within a user's local browser environment.
Below is a summary of our practices when it comes to your personal information collected when you use CommonKey.
For purposes of this notice, the words “our,” “us,” “we,” and "CommonKey” refer to CommonKey Inc. and our affiliates (which includes any person or entity that controls us, is controlled by us, or is under common control with us, such as our subsidiary, parent company, or our employees).
Before you submit any information on or through Authy, please carefully review this notice.
What personal information we collect, how we collect it and why
Device Information. When you use our web application or browse extension, we automatically collect information about the type of device you are using and your device identifier. We collect this to ensure we deliver the right version of the app for your device and so that we can provide appropriate follow up support as necessary.
Name and Email Address. When registering for a CommonKey acocunt, we ask you to provide us with a name and email address to create your CommonKey account. We send a verification code to that email address to be sure that the person creating the CommonKey account also has control over the email address entered. After the email address is verified, the email address you use will be the identifier for your CommonKey account that allows you to add and associate additional secrets to your same CommonKey account.
Login History and CommonKey Account History. When you use an CommonKey to log into an account we collect and keep information associated with your login activity including information like your IP address, what application or program you logged in to, that you logged in, and when. If you change your email associated with your CommonKey account, we will also keep a log of that. We collect this information to monitor for suspicious activity and also as another piece of information that could be used to verify your identity if your account is compromised or may be compromised.
Identity Confirmation Information. If you need to change your email address associated with your account but are not able to access the CommonKey application to change your email address under Settings, you can submit a request to change your email number here. If we cannot easily confirm that you are the rightful account holder of the CommonKey account associated with your old number, we will ask you for additional verifiable personal information and a copy of physical identification such as a drivers’ license, national ID, or passport, which we then use to confirm your claim to the account. From time to time, if there are other situations where we need to verify that you are the rightful account holder of your CommonKey account, our support team may require you to provide identity information like a drivers’ license, national ID or passport.
What we use your personal information for
We use your email address as an identifier for your CommonKey account. We also use logs of any changes to your email address to monitor for suspicious or unusual activity and as another piece of information that could be used, if necessary, to verify your identity if your account is or may be compromised. In addition, we may use your email address to send you information about other CommonKey products, services, or events that you might be interested in. You can choose not to receive marketing emails from us. If you wish to stop receiving our marketing emails you may click on the unsubscribe link that will appear at the bottom of any of our marketing emails or you can contact customer support.
We use information associated with your login activity, device information, and changes to your account to monitor for unusual or suspicious activity on your account and as any other piece of information that could be used to help us verify your identity if your account is compromised or may be compromised.
In addition to using device information as described above, we also use your device information ensure proper delivery of our service and to provide and deliver support and maintenance of the CommonKey app.
