1.4 Information collected when you use our services

Information collected by our systems will be detailed in the following sub-sections:

1.4.1 Mobile Applications

We have Android and IOS Mobile Applications. So, when you download our apps from online stores and start using, we collect information in the following phases:

During First Registration: In order to be able to use our mobile services, you should sign-up by entering your name, surname, email address, phone number. After you entered your information, we sent a registration code to your e-mail address and wants you enter this code in our app in order to finalize your registration. During your registration we generate symmetric and asymmetric key pairs in order to use them in digital signing and encryption of transactions as well. According to our usage, we can store these keys in mobile app, in backend server or in both.

When You Add a New Service: You may add either a Enterprise or individual service. Individual services can only be used in TOTP (Time-Based One-Time Password) Authentication (RFC-6238). In this authentication mechanism, a third-party service (i.e. Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn) can be added by scanning a QR code or enter a secret key manually in order to perform second factor authentication. If you scan the QR code we obtain your secret key and the name of your third-party service and if you add manually, we store the name you gave to the service and the secret key. We store your secret key both in your mobile app and in our backend servers in order to regenerate OTP and recover it when you move your app to another phone or reinstall the app as a backup for your own convenience. We also highlight that in order to let you scan QR code, we need your camera permissions.

In Enterprise services, you enter a code provided from your service provider and we just keep service provider’s id and the user-id provided for the service. User id is only a number produced by your corporation/service provider to pseudonmyse your identity , that is later shared by your corporation/service provider with us in order to uniquely identity your transaction. User id can be just a pseudonmysed number and we do not require it to be a personally identifying number. But if your service provider provides such as personal data as user id, it is the responsibility of your service provider which is also included in our contract with your service provider.

During Authentication: During authentication we use several information about you and your device, app and transaction in order to improve your security during authentication and store them for publc and third party audit purposes, as well as improvements to our services. This information may include your email address, your user-id, your Internet Protocol (IP) address, OS platform, your browser type and version, browser timezone, browser time offset, browser agent, screen resolution, the date and time of your transaction, keystroke timings, geolocation, time spent on each page, your clicks, your scrolls.

1.4.2 Management Console

For Enterprise Users that has contract with us, we provide a web-based management console for identity and access management of their employees and/or customers. In this console, employes or customer data is provided to the system by the Enterprise . In such cases, data controller is the Enterprise  and we are in data processor role.

Directory Section: In directory section, information about users, groups, identities and zones can be stored in the system. Personal data can be kept within users or identities module. However, neither our system nor the processes require users’ personal data to operatecorrectly. Our system just needs a user ids and/or email addresses which might be anonymous records that cannot be directly linked with the users’ identities. We recommend our Enterprise Users as data controllers to utilise pseudonmysied user-ids for a better EU’s GDPR and Turkish PPDA (KVKK) compliance. According to the Enterprise User configuration, the users’ data can also be retrieved from an already existing third-party system such as Active Directory, Office 365, Radius etc.

Threat Management Section: In threat management section, the system checks the collected data regarding the users’ authentication transactions and perform static and automatic analysis.
