Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 14, 2019

At Kindur, we take seriously our responsibility to protect the privacy and confidentiality of information about you. Kindur is committed to earning and maintaining your trust by safeguarding your Personal Information and making its protection a priority. Your “Personal Information” is data that relates to you and can – either on its own or in combination with other information – identify you as an individual.

This Privacy Policy describes how Kindred Services Inc., a Delaware corporation doing business as Kindur, and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively “Kindur,” “the Company,” “we” or “us”) collect, use, disclose, share, and protect information of users or visitors to our website, www.kindur.com (the “Site”), or users of our mobile applications (each an “App”) (the Site and Apps are collectively called the “Platform”) as well as any associated services which are provided through the Platform (the “Services”).

By using or accessing the Platform and/or the Services, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as outlined in this Privacy Policy.

How We Collect Information

We get information about you in a range of ways.

Information You Give Us

We collect certain information directly from you, such as when you fill out forms on the Platform. Types of information we may collect from you directly include your‎ name, mailing address, email address, phone number, username, password, demographic information (such as your occupation, gender, race, or nationality), Social Security number, driver’s license numbers (or comparable state-issued ID numbers), tax ID number, financial account information, as well as other information you give us on our Platform.

Information you provide us may also include user created content such as messages, comments, photos, audio, or video that you post, upload, submit, share, or otherwise provide on or through the Platform (“User Content”). You grant us permission to utilize the User Content in a commercially reasonable manner on the Platform, on any related and/or affiliated websites, and in marketing materials now and in the future, and you waive any and all rights to compensation as a result of such use. The posting of User Content is subject to our Terms of Use.

Information From Others

In addition to the information that you provide to us directly, we also may obtain information about you from other sources. For example, we may obtain information from a third-party service provider whose application you authorized or used to sign into our Platform. We may purchase information about you from third parties or gather publicly available information about you from online and offline sources, such as your public profile on social media. While we obtain information from third parties that we believe to be reliable, Kindur cannot guarantee the currency, accuracy, timeliness, completeness, or fitness of such information for any particular purpose. If we combine such information with the Personal Information that we collect from you, we will treat the combined information as Personal Information under this Privacy Policy.

Information Required by Law

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires certain institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. We will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.

Information Automatically Collected

In addition to the Personal Information described above, we also may automatically collect information about the devices accessing our Platform. Some examples of this type of information include: type of device and browser you use, the type of operating system, IP addresses, location, application information, unique device identifiers, pages you viewed, how long you spent on a page, and crash data. The type of information we collect depends on the type of device used and its settings. The information collected from a particular browser or device may be combined with information collected from another computer or device that is linked to the browser or device from which the information was collected.

As another example, we may generate analytics based on your preferences, characteristics, use, and interactions with the Platform. Our Services may then analyze such data and generate derivative data or aggregated data as well as reports and other output.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Like many websites and online services, we may use “cookies” (see below), log files, web beacon technologies, and other automated tracking technologies to obtain certain types of information when a web browser, mobile application, or other application accesses our Platform. A cookie is a small piece of data that we transfer to a computer’s or other device’s memory for record-keeping purposes.

Pixel tags, also known as “web beacons” or “clear GIFs,” are small electronic images, often a single pixel (1x1), that may be placed on users’ hard drives. We and our advertising partners may use pixel tags to conduct analytics on the Site; to provide online advertising, including targeted advertising – also known as retargeting; and to determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. If you use a mobile device to access our Platform or Services, we may automatically record the Advertising ID (if you are using an Android device) or your Advertising Identifier (if you are using an iOS device) for advertising or analytics purposes. Your device settings may allow you to opt out of tracking using Advertising IDs or Advertising Identifiers.

How Your Information is Used

In general, we collect, use, store, and process your information to provide, enhance, and improve our Platform and Services, to develop new services, and to market our companies and the products and services we offer.

Here are some examples of how we use the information submitted, collected, received, or generated about you:

To operate, improve, maintain, administer and further develop the Platform and Services, and to operate and support our related business activities;
To provide and deliver products and services that you request;
To respond to comments and questions and provide customer service and user support;
To send information including confirmations, account statements, invoices, technical notices, updates, security alerts, and support and administrative messages;
To provide personalized experiences and recommendations, location customization, personalized help and instructions, or other targeted improvements of the Platform and Services;
To communicate about promotions, upcoming events, and other news about products and services offered by us;
To protect, investigate, and deter against fraudulent, unauthorized, or illegal activity as well as to address safety, security, or technical issues;
To better understand how users access and use the Platform and Services;
To conduct quality control and to fix technical and other errors or problems;
To conduct market research;
To respond to user desires and preferences;
To comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations, and any regulatory mandate or court order;
To protect the rights and property of Kindur, our agents, customers, and others, including enforcing our agreements, policies, and Terms of Use; and
To use in any other manner, or for any other purpose, for which you have given express permission or consent to us.

To the extent that you share your User Content through the Platform with our other users or public forums on the Platform, that User Content also may be shared by us with other users, larger groups of users, and/or the public in general.

If you wish to subscribe to updates, news feeds, or other materials we may distribute, we will use your name and email address to send these materials to you. Out of respect for your privacy, you may choose to stop receiving our materials or marketing emails by following the unsubscribe instructions included in these emails, accessing the email preferences in your account settings page, or you can contact us at support@kindur.com.

We may use cookies or such other technologies to improve the quality of the Platform or Services, including for storing user preferences, better understanding how you interact with the Platform and Services, and for any of the other purposes permitted in this Privacy Policy. You can instruct your browser, by changing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all portions or functionalities of the Platform or Services.

We may combine the information we collect (“aggregate”) or remove pieces of information (“de-identify”) to limit or prevent identification of any particular user or device to help with goals like research and marketing. We may perform analytics on your preferences, characteristics, use and interactions with the Platform to generate aggregated information. Our Services may then analyze such aggregated information to generate derivative data as well as reports and other output. Aggregated or de-identified information is not Personal Information and this Privacy Policy does not apply to our use of such aggregated or de-identified information.

When Information is Shared with or Disclosed to Others or the Public

Kindur does not rent, sell, or share your information with third parties except as described in this Privacy Policy or as required by law.

In order to provide the Services and in connection with our everyday business purposes and activities, we may share your Personal Information with third parties who perform services on our behalf. Examples of these third parties and services include consumer identification verification services, public accounting firms and other professional firms, and certain other vendors and service providers who perform marketing, advertising, research, and analytics services on our behalf. We have entered into agreements that require that these third parties keep your Personal Information confidential. We may also disclose your information to other third-party financial institutions (for example, if you ask to transfer assets from Kindur to another financial institution).

We may permit third parties to provide analytics services that allow us to optimize the functionality of our Platform and inform our marketing activities. These third parties may use cookies, web beacons, and other technologies to collect information about your use of the Services and other websites, including your IP address, web browser, pages viewed, time spent on pages, links clicked, and conversion information. This information may be used by us and third parties to analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content and other websites, and better understand your online activity. Our Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we are not responsible for, third party cookies, web beacons, or other tracking technologies; and we encourage you to check the privacy policies of these third parties to learn more about their privacy practices. We use Google Analytics to help collect and analyze certain information for the purposes discussed above.

You can opt out of such online based advertising by following the instructions below. Please note that the opt-out will apply only to the specific browser or device from which you opt out, and therefore you will need to opt out separately on all of your browsers and devices. If you delete or reset your cookies or mobile Advertising IDs or Advertising Identifiers, change browsers, or use a different device, any opt-out cookie or tool may no longer work, and you will need to opt out again.

Web Browser Opt-Out. To opt out in web browsers, please visit the opt-out pages of the Network Advertising Alliance and the Digital Advertising Alliance. To help preserve the choices that you make in the DAA’s WebChoices page, you can install the DAA’s “Protect My Choices” extension that is available here.

To opt out in mobile apps, you can adjust the advertising preferences on your mobile device (for example, in iOS, visit Settings > Privacy > Advertising > Limit Ad Tracking, or in Android, visit Settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of interest-based ads). You can also opt out for companies that participate in the DAA’s AppChoices tool by downloading AppChoices here and following the instructions in the app. For more information about opting out on mobile devices, please see https://www.networkadvertising.org/mobile-choice.

The Platform may also offer you the ability to interact with plugins from social media sites; such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and others; that may collect, use, and share information about you from our Platform as part of the operation of the plugins. These plugins are subject to the privacy practices of the respective third-party social media companies, which may differ from this Privacy Policy.

We share Personal Information among our affiliates and business units when we believe it will help enhance the Platform or Services we can provide, but only in circumstances where such sharing conforms to the law, any applicable confidentiality agreements, and our policies and practices. Additionally, we reserve the right to share your Personal Information in connection with a corporate change including a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or any relevant portion of our business or assets.

Finally, we may disclose Personal Information in specific other cases with your consent or per your instructions.

Security and the Protection of Your Information

Kindur is focused on protecting your information. We employ physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to keep your information secure. We use robust, industry-standard browser encryption; store all of your data on servers in secure facilities; and implement systematic processes and procedures for securing and storing data. We limit access to your Personal Information to only those employees with authorized access who need to know the information in order to perform their jobs, and we require third parties who perform services for us to agree to keep your information confidential. Furthermore, if you choose to close your account or your account is terminated with us, we will continue to adhere to the privacy policies and practices outlined here. If you maintain an account with us that you access through our Platform, you are responsible for protecting and maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password and restricting access to your computer. While Kindur follows 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 and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Accessing or Changing Your Information

If the Personal Information on file for you changes, or if you no longer desire access to our Platform or Services, you may update your information by contacting us at support@kindur.com.

We will retain copies of your Personal Information in a form that permits identification for as long as we deem necessary in connection with the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless applicable law or regulation requires us to preserve this information for a longer or shorter period. In particular, we will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal and/or regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

How We Respond to Do Not Track Signals

Online tracking is the collection of data about an individual’s Internet activity used to deliver targeted advertisements and for other purposes. Customers using certain modern browsers have the ability to activate a “Do Not Track” signal. Kindur does not currently respond to “Do Not Track” signals.
