D. Types of Data collected

Among the types of Personal Data that this Application collects, by itself, there are: Cookies, Usage Data, Camera permission, Precise location permission (continuous), Approximate location permission (continuous), Microphone permission, Phone permission, Sensors permission, Storage permission and Motion sensors permission.

This information is not sent to Kiwi's servers without your consent. We never receive your location information, microphone, camera or phone number. These are only used for your web browsing activity when you have given permission to a website to access this data, or to personalize the homepage so you can get more relevant content on the homepage (news next to your place, ads or weather for example).

Complete details on each type of Personal Data collected are provided in the dedicated sections of this privacy policy or by specific explanation texts displayed prior to the Data collection.
The Personal Data may be freely provided by the User, or, in case of Usage Data, collected automatically when using this Application.
All Data requested by this Application is mandatory and failure to provide this Data may make it impossible for this Application to provide its services. In cases where this Application specifically states that some Data is not mandatory, Users are free not to communicate this Data without any consequences on the availability or the functioning of the service.

If you add websites on your homepage, Kiwi has to fetch the logos for the websites that you add on the homepage. This list is fetched from popular.kiwibrowser.com and logos.kiwibrowser.com.

You can safely block these hosts. These requests do not contain any identifier tied to your device or user and as an additional security precaution, we do not log requests to this domain. They are static content.

We may collect crash information if the browser happens to crash. The crash technical information "known as a stack trace" does not contain personal information, and does not say what website you were browsing or what you entered in the forms, it says where the program has crashed, so we can fix it.

We may collect information from you in a variety of different ways. We do not sell or share this information. Your information may be kept in an identifiable format, or in an aggregate format which means that you cannot reasonably be identified from it. We provide further detail on the type of info we collect, and how we collect it, below:
