Privacy Policy

Who we are

This website is operated by Kynetic Media Corporation, a Florida corporation doing business as Kynetic Media (“Kynetic Media,” “we,” “us”). Kynetic Automation, Uncut Scuba, Florida Events, Kynetic Smoke and AV Tech Tools are product and service names of Kynetic Media Corporation, not separate businesses. This policy covers kyneticmedia.com, its Tech Tools, Fun Tools, Meals and Music tools, the Uncut Scuba pages and calculators, Kynetic Automation pages, and the avtechtools.app short links that point to them. Questions? Use our contact form or email contact@kyneticmedia.com.

The short version

• We collect what you choose to send us in a contact form, plus basic technical data every website receives.
• Most tools run entirely in your browser. Microphone audio is processed on your device and is never recorded or uploaded.
• Direct File Transfer sends files device-to-device. File contents do not pass through or get stored on our servers.
• We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

Information you give us

Quote and contact forms. When you use the “Get a quote” form, we receive your name, email address, organization (optional), event date (optional), the service you select, and the project details you type. The scuba training form also collects your preferred start date and the course you select. Each form also has hidden fields used only to filter out spam bots; people do not fill them in. Submissions are delivered to our business inbox by an email delivery service provider. If the form cannot send, your device may open your own email app with your message filled in, and you choose whether to send it.

Email and messages. If you email us or contact us on social media, we receive whatever you include, along with your email address or account name.

Live Coffee Order sessions. If you host or join a live coffee run in the Coffee Order Taker, the session code, the host label, and the names and drink orders entered are stored on our server so everyone in the session can see the same list. A session is deleted when the host ends it, or automatically about 8 hours after its last activity. The personal (non-live) list stays only in your browser.

Information collected automatically

Server and security logs. Like any website, our hosting provider receives your IP address, browser and device type, the pages and files you request, the referring page, and the date and time. This data is used to deliver the site, keep it secure, prevent abuse, and fix problems.

Analytics. We use a privacy-focused web analytics service that counts page views and measures page performance in aggregate. It does not use cookies or local storage to identify you, and it does not build profiles of you across other websites.

Cookies. We do not set advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Our hosting and security provider may use strictly necessary security measures to protect the site from attacks and abuse.

Direct File Transfer

Direct File Transfer connects two browsers with a session code. Before any connection is made, both people see the same short set of verification words, and the sender must confirm they match. To introduce the two browsers, our signaling server briefly relays connection-setup messages between them. Those messages include network details such as IP addresses. The server stores only the session code, protected access tokens, the expiry time, and short-lived connection messages. Sessions expire automatically within 2 hours of their last activity, and their data is then deleted. The server also uses IP addresses briefly to limit abuse, such as repeated attempts to guess session codes. Those records are short-lived and are deleted with the session or within minutes.

The files themselves travel directly between the two devices over an encrypted peer-to-peer connection. File names and file contents do not pass through our server, and we never store, see, or scan them. To find a direct route between devices, your browser may contact public connection-helper (STUN) servers run by third parties, which see your IP address.

Microphone

The RTA & Feedback Finder and the Tuner ask for microphone access only after you press Start. Audio is analyzed in real time inside your browser. It is not recorded, stored, or uploaded to us or anyone else. You can turn off microphone access at any time in your browser or device settings. The RTA may save your calibration settings (numbers, not audio) on your device.

Information stored on your device

Some tools save settings or work in progress in your browser’s local storage so they are still there next time. Examples include stage plots, show timer state, RTA calibration, the tuner reference pitch, scuba calculator settings, coffee orders and the name you use for coffee runs, game high scores and sound settings, bingo cards, Tech Tools “secrets” progress, and details that let you reconnect to a transfer or coffee session, and a note that you agreed to our Terms of Use on tools that ask for that agreement (power and electrical, room capacity, scuba, and Direct File Transfer). This data stays on your device. It is not sent to us, except for the parts of a live session you choose to share. You can clear it at any time in your browser settings.

Embedded content and third-party links

Some pages offer embedded players from other services: Spotify and YouTube (in privacy-enhanced mode) on our home page, and YouTube on the Uncut Scuba page. These players load only when you press play. Until then, no request is made to Spotify or YouTube. Once you start a player, that service may receive your IP address and may set their own cookies or collect information about your activity over time and across websites, under their own policies: Spotify Privacy Policy and Google/YouTube Privacy Policy.

Our fonts and video thumbnails are served from our own site, so viewing a page does not contact a font or image service. Some tool pages include affiliate links to retailers. If you click one, the retailer may set its own cookies, and we may earn a commission. We do not receive your personal information from retailers. Other websites we link to have their own privacy practices, and we are not responsible for them.

How we use information

• To respond to inquiries, prepare quotes, and provide the services you request.
• To run the tools and live sessions you start.
• To keep the site secure, prevent spam and abuse, and fix problems.
• To understand overall site usage and improve the site.
• To meet legal obligations and protect our rights.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, and we do not give it to third parties for their own direct marketing. We share information only:

• With service providers that host the site, deliver form email, and provide analytics, who process it on our behalf.
• When required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users, the public, or Kynetic Media.
• As part of a merger, sale, or transfer of our business, under this policy.
• With your permission.

How long we keep information

We keep inquiries and related emails as long as needed to respond, provide services, and keep normal business records, and then delete them. Live transfer and coffee sessions are deleted automatically when they end or expire. Server, security, and analytics data is kept by our providers for limited periods. Data stored on your device stays there until you clear it.

Security

We use reasonable safeguards, including encrypted HTTPS connections. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, so please do not send sensitive information, such as passwords, payment card numbers, or health information, through the contact form.

Do Not Track

Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal. There is no common standard for responding to it, so the site does not change its behavior when it receives one. We do not track you across other websites, and we do not allow third parties to do so for advertising on our behalf. Embedded services described above follow their own policies.

Children’s privacy

This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Your choices and California privacy rights

You can review, correct, or ask us to delete the personal information you sent us by contacting us through the contact form or at contact@kyneticmedia.com. Please say “Privacy request” and tell us what you would like us to do. We may need to verify your request, and we will not discriminate against you for making one.

We describe how we respond to Do Not Track signals and how we share information with third parties as required by the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA). Where other state privacy laws apply to us, residents of those states may also have rights to know, access, correct, or delete their personal information and to opt out of sale or targeted advertising. We do not sell personal information or use it for targeted advertising. Under California’s “Shine the Light” law, we do not disclose personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. When we do, we will post the new version on this page and change the effective date above. If we make material changes, we will also note them clearly on this site, for example near the top of this page, before they take effect where practical.
