Introduction
Welcome to our Privacy Policy. Your privacy is critically important to us. At KWILL, we have a few fundamental principles:
- We are thoughtful about the personal information we ask you to provide and the personal information that we collect about you through the operation of our services.
- We store personal information for only as long as we have a reason to keep it.
- We aim to make it as simple as possible for you to control what information on your website is shared publicly (or kept private), indexed by search engines, and permanently deleted.
- We help protect you from overreaching government demands for your personal information.
- We aim for full transparency on how we gather, use, and share your personal information.
Information We Collect
We only collect information about you if we have a reason to do so — for example, to provide our services, to communicate with you, or to make our services better. We collect this information from three sources: if and when you provide information to us, automatically through operating our services, and from outside sources.
Information You Provide to Us
It's probably no surprise that we collect information that you provide to us directly. Here are some examples:
- Basic account information: We ask for basic information from you in order to set up your account.
- Public profile information: If you have an account with us, we collect the information that you provide for your public profile.
- Payment and contact information: If you buy something from us, we'll collect information to process those payments and contact you.
- Communications with us: You may also provide us with information when you respond to surveys, communicate with our team about a support question, or post a question in our public forums.
Information We Collect Automatically
We also collect some information automatically:
- Log information: Like most online service providers, we collect information that web browsers, mobile devices, and servers typically make available.
- Usage information: We collect information about your usage of our services.
- Location information: We may determine the approximate location of your device from your IP address.
- Information from cookies & other technologies: A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor's computer, and that the visitor's browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns.
How We Use Information
We use information about you for the purposes listed below:
- To provide our services
- To further develop our services
- To monitor and analyze trends and better understand how users interact with our services
- To measure, gauge, and improve the effectiveness of our advertising
- To monitor and prevent any problems with our services
- To protect the security and integrity of our services
- To communicate with you
Sharing Information
We share information about you in limited circumstances, and with appropriate safeguards on your privacy. These are spelled out below:
- Subsidiaries and independent contractors: We may disclose information about you to our subsidiaries and independent contractors who need the information to help us provide our services or process the information on our behalf.
- Third-party vendors: We may share information about you with third-party vendors who need the information in order to provide their services to us.
- Legal and regulatory requirements: We may disclose information about you in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental request.
- Business transfers: In connection with any merger, sale of company assets, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company, or in the unlikely event that we go out of business or enter bankruptcy, user information would likely be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party.
Security
While no online service is 100% secure, we work very hard to protect information about you against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction, and take reasonable measures to do so.
Your Rights
You have several choices available when it comes to information about you:
- Limit the information that you provide: If you have an account with us, you can choose not to provide the optional account information, profile information, and transaction and billing information.
- Opt out of marketing communications: You may opt out of receiving promotional communications from us.
- Set your browser to reject cookies: You can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject browser cookies before using our websites, with the drawback that certain features may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may change this privacy policy from time to time. We will post any privacy policy changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice. Your continued use of our services after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
