Electronic Notifications

KIWI may from time to time provide automatic notifications and voluntary account-related notifications, as further explained below and subject always to our privacy policy. Our basic operating point of view is to do everything we possibly can to avoid annoying you so wherever possible we will minimise unnecessary notifications and provide configuration switches to limit unwanted communications.

Automatic notifications may be sent to you following certain changes made online to your KIWI account, such as a change in your Registration Information.

Voluntary account notifications may be turned on by default as part of the Service. They may then be customised, deactivated or reactivated by you. These notifications allow you to choose alert messages for your accounts. KIWI may add new notifications from time to time, or cease to provide certain notifications at any time upon its sole discretion. Each alert has different options available, and you may be asked to select from among these options upon activation of your notifications service.

Electronic notifications will be sent to the email address you have provided as your primary email address for the Service. If your email address changes, you are responsible for informing us of that change. Changes to your email address will apply to all of your notifications.

Because notifications are not encrypted, we will never include your passcode. However, notifications may include your KIWI login information and some information about your accounts. Anyone with access to your email will be able to view the content of these notifications. At any time you may disable certain notifications, although we may still send you Service-related notices as needed to allow us to provide you the Service.

As part of the KIWI extension and to update you regarding the status of deliveries, you may receive push notifications, local client notifications, text messages, picture messages, emails or other types of messages directly sent to you outside or inside the KIWI Mobile App (“Push Messages”).
