  • Process & Transparency

This page is the log of every change to KVOKA's legal policies. Every update gets logged with a date and a short description. The principle is simple: if we change the rules, you should know what changed and when.

 Table of contents (6 sections)

1. Why we publish a changelog

In plain English: Transparency. You should know what changed in policies that apply to you, and when.

Legal policies shouldn't be a black box that changes quietly. We publish this changelog for the same reasons open-source projects publish theirs:

  • Trust. You see not just the final text but the history of how it got there.
  • Accountability. If we changed something material (a new subprocessor, new terms), it can't be quietly forgotten.
  • Convenience. If you signed with us a year ago, it's easier to see what's different now.
  • Regulatory. GDPR and CCPA require us to notify of material changes to data processing. A changelog is the standard way.

2. How we publish changes

In plain English: Each change is a separate entry with date, page, and short description. Material ones are flagged.

Entry format:

  • Date — when the change took effect.
  • Page — which policy was updated.
  • Description — what changed, in 1-3 sentences.
  • Type — minor (typography, wording fixes) or major (new subprocessor, new data categories, change of rights).

Material changes that require consent or notice:

  • Active business clients get an email 30 days ahead.
  • All site visitors may see a notice in the cookie banner or on the policy page itself.

3. Subscribe to updates

In plain English: Active clients get an email on material changes. Anyone can message us or bookmark this page.

Ways to stay in the loop:

  • Active KVOKA business clients — auto-receive an email when material changes ship.
  • Message us anytime — ask Maks on WhatsApp / Telegram to be flagged when a specific policy changes.
  • Manual watch — bookmark this page and check back; the date at the top of each policy always reflects the latest version.

4. Change log

In plain English: Reverse chronological — newest at the top.

All entries in reverse chronological order (newest first).

5. Viewing past versions

In plain English: We keep past versions on file. Need the exact prior version? Message us and we'll send it.

We keep past policy versions on file:

  • Every document shows its effective date and last-updated date in the page hero.
  • If you need the exact prior version — for example, the terms in force when you signed with us — message us and we'll send it.

6. Contact

In plain English: WhatsApp / Telegram / email. Questions about specific changes — priority.

If you have a question about a specific policy change, or you want to object to a change that affects you as a KVOKA client:

For active clients: if you object to a material change (new subprocessor, new terms) — you have 30 days from notification to:

  • Propose an alternative.
  • Request a transitional regime (new rules apply from your next project, not the current one).
  • Terminate the contract with a refund for the unworked portion.

Question about a policy change?

Message Maks with subject [Policy] — priority queue. Active clients can object within 30 days.
