Third Party Services We Use
Version:
These are the companies that process data for KAA. We update this list before adding a new one.
| Provider | What it does | Data it handles | Where |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vercel | Hosts the website and app | All data passing through requests, server logs | United States (Washington, D.C., iad1) |
| Railway | Hosts the database | All account and app data | United States (California, us-west2) |
| Google Maps Platform (Places API), when enabled | Shows a photo of a place linked to Google on lists, Tonight and event pages, never on or beside the map. We store only Google's place ID; the photos and their addresses are not stored | Our server sends Google only the place's Google ID. Your device loads the photo from Google, so Google receives your IP address and basic browser information. Our servers also look up place IDs, sending only the place's name and position | Global |
| Google Maps Platform (Places UI Kit), when enabled | Shows Google's photos, rating, opening hours and reviews on the place sheet of a place linked to Google, under the words "From Google Maps", also over our own map. Nothing of it is stored | Your device sends Google the place's Google ID, so Google receives that ID, your IP address and basic browser information. Our server only counts the panels shown each day | Global |
| Map tile provider (MapTiler, with OpenStreetMap data, or Google Maps when we switch it on) | Draws the map | Your IP address and the map area you view | Global (content delivery network) |
| Resend | Sends account emails: email confirmation, approval, password reset, password change notices, sign up codes when they are on, and service messages and emails from our team | Your email address and the email content | Japan (Tokyo, ap-northeast-1) |
| Apple Push Notification service | Delivers push notifications to the iOS app | Your phone's push token and the notification text | United States |
| Google (Gmail) | Receives the mail you send to support@kohvra.com | Emails you send us | Global |
Not processors, but sources: phangan.events supplies public event listings, and OpenStreetMap supplies places (names, positions, types, and where it has them opening hours and the business phone) under the Open Database License, © OpenStreetMap contributors (openstreetmap.org/copyright). We send neither of them member data; the map credits OpenStreetMap wherever its places are shown.
The Call, WhatsApp and Line buttons on a driver's card open your phone's own dialler, WhatsApp (wa.me) or Line (line.me). KAA sends those services nothing about you; what you write there is between you, the driver and that service.
Write to support@kohvra.com. A person reads every message.
