How We Use Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

We collect information about your use of the Services through tracking technologies such as cookies, web beacons and other technologies (“Tracking Technologies”). A “cookie” is a unique alphanumeric code that is transferred to your computer to track your interests and preferences and to recognize you as a return visitor. A “web beacon” is a transparent graphic image placed on a website, e-mail or advertisement that enables the monitoring of things such as user activity and site traffic.

We and third-parties with whom we work may use Tracking Technologies on the Services to improve user experience, to help remember your preferences and allow us to bring you the content and features that are likely to be of interest to you, and to analyze the use of our Services and to improve the Services’ functionality. These third parties may collect information about your online activities over time and across different Web sites. One of the ways we do this is through the use of Google Analytics. For more information about how Google Analytics uses and processes data, please visit Google Privacy & Terms.

Your Choices

We provide you with choices with respect to your Personal Information. For example, you can choose not to give us the Personal Information we request, as described in the “Information You Provide Directly to Us” section of this Privacy Policy. However, in some cases, if you decide not to provide the information we request, we will not be able to provide the service or information you requested.

Other examples of your choices include:

  • You can unsubscribe from our promotional emails via the link provided in the emails. Even if you opt-out of receiving promotional messages from us, you will still continue to receive administrative messages from us.
  • You can browse the Kumospace Website without registering or directly submitting any information to us (although we may still collect some limited information automatically, as described above); and
  • You may change your browser settings or take other steps to block, manage, or delete cookies. Our Services do not currently respond to browser “do not track” signals, so you will need to use your browser settings to effectively manage cookies. In some cases, blocking or disabling cookies may cause the Services not to work as intended and some features may not be available.

Links to Other Websites and Services

The Services may contain links to websites, videos, products and services owned and operated by third parties. These third-party websites and services are not subject to this Privacy Policy. As they are not controlled by Kumospace, we are not responsible for their content or their privacy policies, which may differ from ours. We have not reviewed and make no representations about the accuracy of information on third-party websites, or about their information handling practices. Visits you make to these websites are at your own risk, and we encourage you to review their terms of service and privacy policies.

Security

We make reasonable efforts to protect your Personal Information by using physical and electronic safeguards designed to improve the security of the Personal Information we maintain. However, as no electronic transmission of Personal Information can be entirely secure, we make no guarantees as to the security or privacy of your Personal Information.

Our Global Practices

We may process and store your Personal Information in the United States and in any other country where we or our or service providers operate. By your use of the Services you consent to such transfer, storage and processing and acknowledge that we will maintain your Personal Information in jurisdictions which may have different data protection rules than in your country, and that your Personal Information may become accessible as permitted by law in those jurisdictions, including to law enforcement and/or national security authorities.
