Kepion Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 1st, 2021

Kepion, Inc., (“Kepion”) has created this Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) to describe how we collect, use and disclose the information that we obtain from our users through the Kepion website(s) (the “Site”), www.kepion.com, and the data we collect through the services we provide (“Services”) to our customers (“Customers”), for which we are the data processor. This Policy also describes the choices available to you regarding our use of your personal information and how you can access and update this information. By visiting the Site and using any Kepion Services, you signify your explicit consent to the terms and conditions of this Policy.

The use of information collected through our Services shall be limited to the purpose of providing the specific Service for which the Customers have engaged Kepion.

Information Collection and Use on the Site

We collect contact information, such as your name, title, company name, address, phone number, and e-mail address and certain company information, such as annual revenues, number of employees, or industry, from visitors who wish to receive information about Kepion and its products and services. We use this information to provide you with information about the products and services that we provide and to send information regarding Kepion or its partners, such as newsletters, promotions, and events.

Information Collection and Use through the Service

We require Customers who register to use the Services offered on our Site to give us contact information, such as their name, company name, address, phone number, e-mail address, and financial qualification and billing information, such as billing name and address, and the number of users within the organization that will be using the Service, and we also may ask for additional information such as title, department name, fax number, and additional company information, such as annual revenues, number of employees, or industry. It is the Customer’s obligation, as the data controller, to inform its registered users about the purposes for which information about them is collected and may be used on the Services. Registered users can update or remove their account information at any time by logging into the Site and editing their account information.

Kepion uses the account information that we collect to set up the Services for individuals and their organizations. We may also use the account information to contact our registered users to further discuss customer interest in Kepion and its products and services and the Services that we provide, and to send information regarding Kepion or its partners, such as newsletters, promotions, and events. All financial and billing information that we collect through the Site is used solely to check the qualifications of prospective customers and to bill for the Services. Except as we explicitly state at the time we request information, we do not disclose to third parties the information provided.

Registered users are required to provide an email address when registering for the Service, in order to receive a username and password. We may also email information regarding updates to the Services or Kepion and will send a Customer Newsletter. Registered users of the Services will be using the Site to host data and information (“Data”). Kepion will not review, share, distribute, print, or reference any such Data except as provided in your Subscription Agreement, or as may be required by law. Individual records may at times be viewed or accessed for the purpose of resolving a problem, supporting an issue, improving system performance, or confirming any suspected violation of your Subscription Agreement, or as may be required by law. Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of their user registration and password.

Kepion collects and processes third party personal information under the direction of our Customers. We have no ownership of this information or any direct relationship with individuals whose personal information may be processed as part of providing our Services.

An individual who seeks access to their data, seeks to correct, amend, or delete inaccurate data, or wishes to opt-out of communications from Kepion should direct his/her query to the Kepion Customer he/she interacts with directly (the data controller). If a Kepion Customer requests that we remove information on their behalf, we will respond to their request within 30 days.

Kepion may transfer personal information to other companies that help us provide our service. Transfers to subsequent third parties are covered by the provisions in this Policy regarding notice and choice and the service agreements with our Customers.

Kepion will retain personal information we process on behalf of our customers for as long as needed to provide services and as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Cookies

Technologies such as cookies, beacons, tags, and scripts are used by Kepion and our marketing partners, affiliates, or analytics service providers.

We, and the third parties with whom we partner to provide certain features on our website or to display advertising based upon your web browsing activity, use Local Storage (LS), such as HTML5 to collect and store information. Various browsers may offer their own management tools for removing LS.

Third Party Tracking

Kepion and our third-party advertising partners use clear gifs (web beacons), images and scripts. We tie the information gathered to our customers’ personal information.

To learn more about our advertising company’s use of clear gifs, please go to https://developers.google.com/analytics/resources/concepts/gaConceptsTrackingOverview.

We use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. If you would like to opt-out of these emails, please see “Choice and Opt-out”.

Behavioral Targeting/ Re-Targeting

We partner with a third-party ad network to either display advertising on our Web site or to manage our advertising on other sites. Our ad network partner uses cookies and Web beacons to collect non-personally identifiable information about your activities on this and other Web sites to provide you targeted advertising based upon your interests. If you wish to not have this information used for the purpose of serving you targeted ads, contact us at privacy@kepion.com. Please note this does not opt you out of being served advertising. You will continue to receive generic ads.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

Kepion will not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with other people or nonaffiliated companies except, to provide the Services that you have requested, when we otherwise have your permission, or under the following circumstances:

  • To provide the information to our trusted partners who work on behalf of or with Kepion under confidentiality agreements. These companies may use your personal information to help Kepion communicate with you about offers from Kepion and our marketing partners. These companies do not have any independent right to share this information.
  • To respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal processes, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.
  • To investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of Kepion’s Terms of Use, or as otherwise required by law.
  • When we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.
  • In connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets of Kepion or in the event of bankruptcy. If Kepion or our assets are acquired by another company, that company will assume the rights and obligations as described in this Policy. You will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on our Web site of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your personal information.

We will only share your personal information with third parties in the ways that are described in this Policy.

We follow generally accepted standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
