Privacy Policy
Last updated: 8 September 2026 Effective: 8 September 2026
This policy applies to the KnowFlow website at www.knowflowchat.cn (the "Website"), operated by 合肥知识库流动人工智能应用软件有限责任公司 ("we", "us").
We take your personal information seriously. Please read this policy before using the Website. If you do not agree with any part of it, please do not use the enquiry form.
This is a product and documentation website. Unless you choose to fill in and submit the enquiry form, we collect no personally identifying information from you. The Website uses no advertising cookies and performs no cross-site tracking.
1. What we collect
1.1 Information you provide
We only collect the following when you actively submit the form on the Contact page:
| Field | Required | Why we collect it |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Yes | To address you and establish contact |
| Company | Yes | To understand your context and prepare a relevant proposal |
| WeChat ID | Yes | To reach you |
| No | To send product material and proposal documents | |
| Job title | No | To pitch the conversation at the right technical depth |
| Enquiry type | Yes | To route you to the right pre-sales or technical colleague |
| Message | No | To prepare a relevant demo in advance |
All of it is voluntary. Leaving optional fields blank does not affect our ability to contact you.
1.2 Information collected automatically
Server logs record ordinary access data — IP address, browser type and version, operating system, timestamp, pages visited and referrer. This supports security and traffic statistics and is not linked to your identity.
1.3 Browser storage
The Website uses localStorage for interface preferences such as sidebar state. This data stays in your browser and is never uploaded to our servers.
2. How we use it
We use the information we collect only to:
- Respond to your enquiry — contact you with a demo, technical consultation, pricing or partnership discussion;
- Prepare relevant material based on your company size and use case;
- Improve our products by analysing common needs in aggregated, de-identified form.
- We will not sell, rent or trade your personal information to any third party;
- We will not use it for purposes not stated in this policy;
- We will not send you marketing unrelated to your enquiry without your consent.
3. How information flows and is stored
3.1 Where form submissions go
Form content is delivered to our internal work group through a WeCom (Enterprise WeChat) group bot webhook, where a pre-sales or technical colleague picks it up.
This means the content passes through Tencent's WeCom servers. Tencent's handling of that data is governed by its own policy — see the Tencent Privacy Policy.
3.2 Retention
- Enquiry form data: retained for 24 months after our commercial conversation ends, to support follow-up service and contract performance, then deleted or anonymised;
- Server access logs: retained for 6 months;
- Where law mandates a different retention period, that period applies.
3.3 Security measures
- The Website is served over HTTPS throughout;
- The internal work group is restricted to authorised colleagues;
- Colleagues who can access your information are bound by confidentiality obligations.
No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. We apply reasonable commercial effort but cannot guarantee absolute security. Please do not put passwords, ID numbers or bank account details into the message field.
4. Third-party services
| Service | Provider | Purpose | Data involved |
|---|---|---|---|
| WeCom group bot | Tencent | Receives enquiry submissions | The form content you submit |
| Baidu Search Resource Platform link submission | Baidu | Submits page URLs so Baidu can index them | Current page URL, referrer |
| jsDelivr CDN | jsDelivr | Serves some images used in blog posts | IP address, browser information |
The Website loads Baidu's link submission script (push.js). It submits the current page URL to Baidu so content is indexed faster. It does not collect personally identifying information and is not used for advertising.
The Website uses no ad networks, user profiling or cross-site tracking services.
5. Your rights
Under the Personal Information Protection Law of the People's Republic of China and related regulations, you have the right to:
- Access — find out what information we hold about you;
- Correct — have inaccurate or incomplete information fixed;
- Delete — request deletion of your personal information;
- Withdraw consent — at any time;
- Complain — about how we handle personal information.
To exercise these rights, contact us using the details in section 7. We respond within 15 working days of receiving a request.
We may ask for information necessary to verify your identity before acting on a request.
6. Other matters
6.1 Minors
This is a business-to-business product site and is not directed at minors. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. If you are a guardian and believe a minor has submitted information to us, please contact us to have it deleted.
6.2 Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time and will change the "Last updated" date at the top of the page. For material changes affecting your rights, we will post a prominent notice on the Website.
6.3 About product data
This policy covers the Website only.
The KnowFlow Knowledge Base and Analytics products support fully self-hosted deployment — they run on your own servers, and the documents, databases and business data inside them remain under your control and are not accessible to us. Data handling inside the product is governed by the commercial contract between us.
