Phone Numbers (Texts & Calls)

If you provide your phone number, we use it to call or text you to respond to your requests, provide account/service updates, and,
with your consent, send promotional messages. We share your number with message and voice service providers
solely to deliver communications on our behalf.
Opt-out: Reply STOP to any text to unsubscribe (HELP for help), ask our agent to add you to our
do-not-call list, or email hello@knockcio.com. We honor opt-out requests promptly.
Regional notes:
  • United States: marketing texts/calls are sent only with your prior consent; you may withdraw consent at any time.
  • United Kingdom/EEA: we send marketing texts/calls only after you consent; you can withdraw consent at any time.
  • Canada/Australia: we follow applicable consent and unsubscribe rules; each message identifies us and includes an opt-out method.

Email Addresses (Marketing & Transactional)

If you provide your email address, we use it to respond to your inquiries, operate your account, and,
with your consent or as otherwise permitted by law, send marketing emails. We share your email with email service providers solely
to send communications on our behalf.
You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in our emails or by emailing hello@knockcio.com.
We honor requests promptly; transactional/service emails may continue.

Session Analytics (Microsoft Clarity)

We use Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors interact with our Services (e.g., clicks, scrolls, pages viewed) so we can improve usability and troubleshoot issues.
Clarity uses cookies and similar technologies to set identifiers and provide session replays and heatmaps. We configure Clarity to
mask input fields and sensitive content and to avoid recording keystrokes or information that could directly identify you.
Legal basis / reliance:
  • United States: legitimate interests in measuring and improving the Services.
  • United Kingdom/EEA/Switzerland: Clarity runs only after you consent to analytics cookies via our Cookie Settings.
  • Canada/Australia: we provide clear notice and obtain consent where required.
Controls: You can change preferences any time in Cookie Settings or through browser-level controls; where supported,
we honor applicable global privacy/opt-out signals.
Retention: Clarity retains session recordings for approximately 30 days and certain aggregated analytics (e.g., heatmaps/labels)
for up to ~13 months.

Cookies, Consent & Google Consent Mode

We honor your choices using a consent banner and Google Consent Mode (v2).
In the UK/EEA/Switzerland, non-essential storage (e.g., analytics and advertising) is
denied by default and is enabled only after you consent.
You can update preferences anytime in Cookie Settings.
Some vendors receive consent signals (e.g., analytics_storage, ad_storage) to operate in a limited, cookieless mode until consent is granted.

International Transfers

Where we transfer personal information internationally (including to the United States),
we rely on recognized transfer mechanisms, such as the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework (and,
where applicable, the UK Extension) for certified recipients, or
Standard Contractual Clauses and comparable safeguards for other transfers.

Security of Your Information

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information against unauthorized or unlawful processing and accidental loss, destruction, or damage. However, no method of transmitting or storing data online is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your personal information.

Retention of Your Information

We retain your personal information only as long as needed for business, tax or legal purposes. We periodically review our data retention policy and procedures.

Your Choices and Rights

You may opt-out of receiving promotional communications such as marketing emails and newsletters by following the unsubscribe instructions. You may access, amend, or request deletion of your personal information through your account settings or by contacting us. You can manage cookies and adjust privacy settings on your browser and device. You can choose not to share certain information with us, but it may affect the functionality available to you.
You also have the right to:
  • Request information about how your personal information is being used and request a copy of what we store.
  • Have inaccuracies in your personal information corrected.

Google Calendar Integration

We offer an optional Google Calendar integration that enables users to seamlessly sync scheduled appointments from the Knockio App directly into their Google Calendar. By opting in, you grant us permission to access your Google Calendar solely for the purpose of creating, viewing, and managing calendar events that correspond to appointments you schedule through our App.

Purpose and Scope

We use your Google Calendar data exclusively to facilitate appointment synchronization between Knockio and your Google account. We do not access your calendar data for advertising, analytics, or any commercial purpose, nor do we share or sell this data to third parties.

User Consent & Control

The integration operates only after you explicitly authorize Knockio to access your Google Calendar via the standard OAuth consent process established by Google. You may revoke this access at any time through your Google Account settings or via the Knockio app’s settings. Revocation will immediately cease all calendar synchronization activities.

Security & Data Handling

All calendar access tokens and data are stored securely in accordance with industry-standard security practices. We retain only the minimum data necessary to facilitate the integration and delete access tokens promptly upon cancellation or revocation of the integration.

Data Retention

We retain Google Calendar synchronization data only as long as necessary to ensure smooth appointment syncing. Once the integration is revoked—or if your account is terminated—Knockio will delete all associated calendar access tokens and event data.

No Sharing or Selling

Under no circumstances will we sell, rent, or otherwise monetize your Google Calendar data. We do not use it for targeted advertising, profiling, or any purpose unrelated to appointment management.
