Summary: KobiChat is a chat and notice-board app that runs on your company’s local network (LAN). Messages and files are kept on a server running on a computer in your company; they are not sent to Hidroteknik or to any cloud.
Data processed
- Your display name, optional profile picture and online status (shown to colleagues on the same network).
- Messages you send and files you share (including file name, type, size and an integrity hash).
- Notice-board content: announcements, menu of the day, app shortcuts and scheduled notifications.
Where data is kept
This data is kept in a local database and file folder on the computer in your company that runs the KobiChat server. Hidroteknik has no access to it; KobiChat has no Hidroteknik server, account system or cloud storage. The controller of this data is your company, which operates the server.
Internet connection
Chat does not require the internet; traffic stays on your local network. The only exception is exchange rates on the notice board: this feature is off by default; if enabled, the server computer fetches current rates from a public rate service (open.er-api.com). This request contains no user data.
The app contains no advertising, analytics, telemetry or tracking libraries. Updates come only through the Microsoft Store.
Deleting your data
Because messages and files live on your company’s server, deletion requests go to the person who operates it (usually your company’s IT contact). Settings on your computer are removed when you uninstall the app.
Children
KobiChat is a business app. It is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect data from children.
