Welcome to Kona House (“Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”).

2. Our Role
Kona House acts as a service provider (also known as a “data processor”) for our clients.
- Our clients are the data controllers — they own and manage their leads’ personal data.
- We process that data solely under their direction, to deliver our re-engagement and scheduling services.
- We do not sell, share, or independently contact any leads uploaded by our clients.
If you are a consumer or lead who has received messages from one of our clients via Kona House, please contact that client directly for any requests regarding your data, as they are the data controller.
