Privacy Policy

Last Updated On: 17 April 2026

This privacy policy narrates how Knot (us, we, our) uses and collects personal data. Our privacy policy governs your visit to Knot and elaborates on how exactly we safeguard and disclose personal information.

Knot acts as a controller that manages how you interact through different channels, which is used for a variety of purposes. When our customers use our products and services to collect and process personal data for their sales, marketing, and other business activities, Knot acts as a processor. Under the Knot Data Processing Agreement that is part of the Customer Terms of Service, we act as a processor (or service provider) for our customers, who are the ones who control their own personal data. 

Terminologies

  • Personal Data: Personal Data refers to the data of our clients.
  • Usage Data: Data that is generated automatically by our service infrastructure. 
  • COOKIES: Files that are stored on your device.
  • Data Controller: It refers to the person who determines how personal data is managed and processed.
  • Data Subject: Any person who is subject to data

Collection & Usage of Data

Knot operates in multiple roles depending on how data is used:

(i) As a Data Controller

We act as a controller when:

  • You create an account

  • Use our website or platform

  • You interact with our support, marketing, or events

In this role, we determine how and why your Personal Data is processed.

(ii) As a Data Processor

We act as a processor when our customers use Knot to:

  • Schedule meetings

  • Collect invitee information

  • Manage communications

In this case, we process data strictly on behalf of our customers, who remain the data controllers.

When the platform is used for organizing meetings, we collect meeting details, basic details of the meeting like duration and no of attendees, and history related to booking.

Our service infrastructure automatically stores significant information such as IP address, device type, log files, page visited, and action taken. Moreover, we also leverage cookies to maintain track of activities and analyze platform usage.

Conferencing, Email, and Scheduling

1. Conference
 

Knot enables users to facilitate and schedule their meetings seamlessly through Google Meet and Zoom. Knot does not keep or control any video, audio, or chat data that is created during meetings on Google Meet or Zoom. 

Google's own privacy policies and terms govern how this kind of data is handled.

When users leverage this integration, they are in charge of reviewing and managing the permissions that have been given to their Google account.

2. Email

Knot uses Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) to manage communication-related services.

These communications may include:

  • Meeting confirmations and reminders

  • Invitations and scheduling updates

  • Account notifications and administrative messages

When using SMTP-based email services:

  • We process necessary data such as email addresses, message metadata (e.g., timestamps, delivery status), and scheduling details to ensure proper delivery

  • Email content is limited to what is required for the intended communication (e.g., meeting details or notifications)

  • We do not use email content for unrelated purposes without your consent

Depending on system configuration, SMTP services may be operated via secure third-party providers. These providers process email data solely for delivery purposes and are required to maintain appropriate security measures.

3. Scheduling

Knot facilitates a reminder and scheduling with Google Calendar. 

When you connect your calendar:

  • Knot fetches the access to your availability (busy/free slots) to prevent scheduling conflicts

  • We may create, modify, or delete calendar events on your behalf based on your actions

  • Event details such as title, time, participants, and meeting links may be synchronized

Knot only accesses the minimum necessary calendar data required to provide scheduling functionality and does not use calendar data for unrelated purposes.

Payment

Our payment gateway is handled by Stripe; from billing contact details to metadata, everything is handled by Stripe. They may collect your billing invoice and other information based on their privacy policy.

It is suggested to refer to the policy of Stripe for more detailed information; we shall not be held liable for any privacy breach from our third-party payment gateway. 

Data Storage & Security

We have strongly emphasized the importance of data security on our platform. However, it is important to understand the fact that there is no such 100% secure electronic data storage to protect your personal data.

We use appropriate safeguards, including:

  • Encryption in transit and at rest

  • Secure data centers

  • Access controls and monitoring

Your Data Protection Rights

We comply with GDPR (General Data Protection Rights), and you have the following rights.

  • You can request your personal data 

  • Right to rectify personal information

  • Recipients of your data

  • Emphasize restriction on data processing

  • Right to claim a copy of data

  • You can file a complaint for data protection if you feel your personal data has been violated

  • Right to withdraw your consent at any time 

We may not be able to fully provide our service if the necessary data isn’t provided.

Children’s Privacy

Knot is not intended for individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from minors.

Changes to Privacy Policy

The privacy policy mentioned herein can be changed or updated without any prior notice. It becomes your sole responsibility to keep track of the updated privacy policy mentioned above. The effective date will be mentioned at the top of the page.

Data Management in the Case of Solvency

If another company acquires us (or our assets), whether through a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or some other means, that company will get all the information that Knot has gathered on the websites and the Subscription Service. 

If this happens, you will be told by email and/or a prominent notice on our website about any changes in ownership, how your Personal Data is used, and the choices you have about your Personal Data.
