This Privacy Policy describes how OKG Solutions ("OKG," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use our AI-powered safety compliance platform (the "Service"). By using the Service, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Account Information
When you create an account, we collect personal and business information necessary to provide the Service, including:
- Full name and job title;
- Email address;
- Company name, address, and industry;
- State of operation;
- Phone number (if provided);
- Account credentials (passwords are stored in hashed form only).
1.2 Safety Data
In the course of using the Service, you may upload or create safety-related data, including:
- Incident reports and investigation records;
- Inspection checklists and results;
- Training records and certifications;
- Machine and equipment information;
- Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures;
- Job Safety Analysis (JSA) documents;
- Corrective action records;
- Maintenance logs;
- Employee names associated with safety records;
- Bulk-imported records (including employee rosters, certification data, and training histories) provided by account administrators via CSV upload.
File Upload Scanning: All files uploaded to the Service are scanned for malware using ClamAV and validated by MIME-type inspection before storage. Files that fail either check are rejected and are not written to our systems; metadata about the rejection (filename, detected signature, account ID, timestamp) is retained for security auditing.
1.2a Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Data
If you enable multi-factor authentication on your account, we store:
- An encrypted TOTP (time-based one-time password) secret used to validate your authenticator app codes;
- A set of one-time backup recovery codes, stored as hashes only;
- Timestamps of MFA enrollment and successful MFA verification events.
MFA is opt-in for all customer roles. MFA secrets are never transmitted after enrollment and cannot be recovered by OKG Solutions staff.
1.2b Kiosk Mode Submissions
OKG Solutions offers a plant-floor kiosk mode where workers may interact with the AI safety chat via a public QR code without logging in. When kiosk mode is used, we collect:
- The text of the question or message submitted;
- The AI-generated response;
- The IP address of the device used;
- Date and timestamp of the interaction;
- The facility or location identifier associated with the QR code.
Kiosk submissions are not associated with a named individual unless the worker voluntarily identifies themselves in their message. Customer-administrators are responsible for ensuring kiosk QR codes are distributed only to authorized workers and for informing workers that submissions are logged.
1.2c Pre-Account Submissions (Contact Form & Waitlist)
If you submit our contact form or join our waitlist without creating an account, we collect and store the following for the purpose of responding to your inquiry and evaluating pilot fit:
- Contact form: name, email address, company name, message text, IP address, browser user-agent string, and referring URL;
- Waitlist: email address, IP address, browser user-agent string, and referring URL.
These submissions are stored in append-only logs accessible only to OKG Solutions administrators. They are retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to you and to maintain records of inbound interest. You may request deletion of your contact-form or waitlist entry at any time by emailing [email protected].
1.3 Usage Data
We automatically collect certain information about how you interact with the Service, including:
- Pages visited and features used;
- Date and time of access;
- Device type, operating system, and browser information;
- IP address;
- Referring URLs;
- Click patterns and navigation paths within the Service.
1.4 AI Chat Logs
When you or your workers interact with our AI safety chat feature, we collect and store the conversation logs, including questions asked and AI-generated responses. These logs are associated with your account and facility data to provide contextually relevant safety guidance.
