PRIVACY POLICY

Your privacy is important to us. We believe it is important that you understand how we treat the information you may provide to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, share, use, and protect information when you visit or use our website and online services. As you review this Privacy Policy, here are a few general principles to keep in mind:

OUR ONLINE SERVICES ARE INTENDED FOR A U.S. AUDIENCE.

OUR ONLINE SERVICES ARE NOT INTENDED FOR CHILDREN UNDER 13. WE DO NOT KNOWINGLY COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION FROM CHILDREN UNDER 13 WITHOUT PARENTAL CONSENT.

What personal information we collect

When you visit or use our website and online services, we may collect personal information from or about you, such as your name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, user name and password, school name and location. We may also collect payment card information when you provide such information while using our online services and where we believe it is reasonably required for ordinary business purposes.

How we use your personal information

We use personal information to help us create, develop, operate, deliver, and improve our products, services, content, and for loss prevention and anti-fraud purposes. We may also use personal information for internal purposes such as auditing, data analysis, and research to improve our products, services, and customer communications.

We may use personal information to inform you of new products or services or to provide you information about upcoming events. If you do not want our representatives to contact you and want to opt out of receiving these communications, email us at support@k2share.com. Please be sure to include your name, address, phone, and email address (where applicable) in order to ensure prompt and accurate attention to your request.

From time to time, we may use your personal information to send important notices, such as communications about purchases and changes to our terms, conditions, and policies. Because this information is important to your interaction with us, you may not opt out of receiving these communications.

Collection and use of non-personal information

In addition to the personal information described above, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information may include Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type and language, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We may collect device-specific information (such as your hardware model, operating system version, and unique device identifiers). We may associate your device identifiers with your user account. We use this information to understand and analyze trends, to administer the site, to learn about user behavior on the site, to improve our product and services, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.

We may also use cookies, web beacons or other technologies to collect and store other information about your visit to, or use of, our online services. Cookies are small amounts of data a website can send to a visitor’s web browser. They are often stored on the device you are using to help track your areas of interest. Most web browsers allow you to adjust your browser settings to decline or delete cookies, but doing so may degrade your experience with our online services. We treat information collected by cookies and other technologies as non-personal information. However, to the extent that IP addresses or similar identifiers are considered personal information by local law, we also treat these identifiers as personal information. Similarly, to the extent that non-personal information is combined with personal information, we treat the combined information as personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.

Disclosure to Third Parties

We may make certain personal information available to service providers that work with us to process payment card transactions or provide products and services. These companies are obligated to protect your information, implement and maintain appropriate confidentiality and security measures and comply with our Privacy Policy.

It may be necessary − by law, legal process, litigation, and/or requests from public and governmental authorities − for us to disclose your personal information. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that for purposes of national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary or appropriate. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce our terms and conditions or protect our operations or users.

Additionally, in the event of a reorganization, merger, or sale we may transfer any and all personal information we collect to the relevant third party.

Protection of Personal Information

We take the security of your personal information very seriously. We use reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal standards to protect and limit access to personal information. Our online services protect your personal information during transit using encryption such as Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS).

Integrity and Retention of Personal Information

You may review, or update account information by logging in and accessing the “Your Account” section. If you cannot change the incorrect information online, or you prefer to request changes offline, please contact us. We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Third-Party Sites and Services

We may provide links to websites that are owned or operated by other companies ("third-party websites"). When you use a link online to visit a third-party website, you will be subject to that website’s privacy and security practices, which may differ from ours. You should familiarize yourself with the privacy policy, terms of use and security practices of the linked third-party website before providing any information on that website.

Privacy Policy Changes

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. When we change the policy in a material way, a notice will be posted on our website along with the updated Privacy Policy.
