INFORMATION SECURITY AND RETENTION

Although we take such steps to protect your information, no security program is foolproof and thus we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal or other information.

REVIEWING AND UPDATING YOUR INFORMATION

In accordance with applicable law, you may have the right to access, update, or correct inaccuracies in your personal information in our custody and control, subject to certain exceptions prescribed by law. If you would like to access, review, or update your information, please e-mail privacy@koicreativespace.com.

Some web browsers may transmit “do-not-track” signals to the websites and other online services with which a user communicates. There is no industry standard that governs what, if anything, websites should do when they receive these signals. We currently do not take action in response to these signals. If and when a standard is established and accepted, we may revisit our policy on responding to these signals.

COLLECTION OF INFORMATION FROM CHILDREN

The Services are not directed to children under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13.  Persons over 13 but under 18 years of age should ask their parents for permission before sending any information about themselves to anyone over the Internet.

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY IN THE FUTURE

Privacy laws and guidelines are part of a constantly changing environment. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of this Policy at any time. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to ensure that you are aware of our current privacy practices, although we may also elect to notify you by e-mail or by posting something on some or all of our online Services. Your continued use of our Services following any changes signifies your acceptance of these changes.

COOKIES, WEB BEACONS, AND OTHER INTERNET TECHNOLOGIES

We, as well as certain third parties that provide content and other functionality on our Services, may use cookies, web beacons and other similar technologies on our online Services.

Cookies

A cookie is a small file that may be stored on your computer or other device. A cookie enables the entity that put the cookie on your device to recognize it across different websites, services, devices, and browsing sessions.

When you use a web browser to access the Services, some browsers may allow you to configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is sent.

Please note that disabling cookies may affect your ability to access and use certain features of the Services.

Web Beacons

Web Beacons and similar technologies are small bits of code, which are embedded in web pages, ads, and e-mail, that communicate with third parties. We may use web beacons, for example, to count the number of users who have visited a particular web page, to deliver or communicate with cookies, and to understand usage patterns. We also may include web beacons in e-mails to understand whether messages have been opened, acted on, or forwarded.

Other Technologies

There are other local storage and Internet technologies, such as Local Shared Objects (also referred to as “Flash cookies”) and HTML5 local storage, that operate similarly to the cookies discussed above in that they are stored on your device and can be used to store certain information about your activities and preferences across different services and sessions. Please note that these technologies are distinct from cookies, and you may not be able to control them using standard browser tools and settings.

How We Use These Technologies

Our websites use these technologies for the following general purposes:

  • Administering and improving our Services, including helping us measure and research the effectiveness of our content, features, advertisements, and other communications.  For example, we measure which pages and features website visitors are accessing and how much time they are spending on our webpages.  We may include web beacons in e-mails, for example, to understand whether messages have been opened, acted on, or forwarded.

  • Storing your sign-in credentials and preferences so that you don’t have to enter those credentials and preferences every time you log on to a Service.

  • Helping us and third parties provide you with relevant content and advertising by collecting information about your use of our Services and other websites.

Please see “Use of Personal Information” above for details about how we use the information that we collect. By continuing to use the Services, you consent to our use of cookies, web beacons, and other Internet technologies as described above.
