10. Disclosure of Information

To operate our business and to provide our Platform, we may share – or may be required to share – user information or materials with third parties. Except as specifically stated below, (i) we have no control over what the third party may do with the user information or materials that they receive; and (ii) they will treat it in accordance with their own privacy policy.

Service Providers

We share information with our suppliers, subcontractors, and other third parties who provide services to us (collectively “service providers”) in connection with advertising, hosting, information analytics, information technology and infrastructure, order fulfillment, shipping, delivery, mailings, auditing, and other related activities.

Our service providers are given only the information they need to perform their designated functions.

Social Media Networks

The Platform includes links to third party websites or services (“Third Party Services”) where a user is able to post or share comments. To do so, you may have to connect your KithKitchens.com account with your Third-Party Service account. In such case, you authorize Kith to share information with that third party, and you agree that the use of that information will be governed by the third party’s privacy policy.

Please note that comments that are shared with Third-Party Services may become available to the public.

Payment Processing

If you use credit cards, we do not have access to, and do not retain any payment card information. When you enter your payment information online, in connection with a purchase, it is immediately transmitted to our payment processing provider through an encrypted gateway. We only retain the user’s name and contact information in order to process the order. Once payment has been processed, the payment processor informs us whether the payment has been approved or declined, so that we can process the order. We only retain the truncated or encrypted billing information for our record purposes in accordance with applicable laws and our data retention policy or in case we must refund a payment. We decline any liability for the security of your payment card information stored on third party credit card processing companies.

We may disclose user information when (i) we believe, in our sole discretion, that disclosure is necessary to investigate, prevent, or respond to suspected illegal or fraudulent activity or to protect the safety, rights, or property of the Company, its users, or others; (ii) a user has abused the Platform or gained unauthorized access to any system, engage in spamming, denial of service attacks, or similar attack; (iii) we need to do so to exercise or protect legal rights or defend against legal claims; (iv) we need to do so to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that we may sustain.

Law enforcement

We may have to disclose user information if a court, law enforcement or other public or government authority with appropriate jurisdiction requests that we provide that user information, and such request is made using the method required by law in the applicable jurisdiction, such as a search warrant, subpoena, or a court order, and we believe that such request is facially valid.

Corporate Reorganization

We may transfer user information to a third party in case of the reorganization, sale, merger, joint venture, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, asset or stocks, including in the event of bankruptcy or corporate restructuring. Except as otherwise provided by a bankruptcy or other court, the use and disclosure of all transferred user information will be subject to the policies described in this Privacy Notice.

Any information that a user submits or that is collected after that transfer may be subject to a new privacy policy adopted by the successor entity. If you do not agree with such new policy you will be given the opportunity to request that your information be deleted before the new policy applies to your personal information.

Interest Based Advertising

The information collected about a user’s use of our Platform, or across the Internet, the products in which the user appears to be interested, may be used to build an assumed profile of that user. To do so, our service provider may place or recognize a unique cookie on the user’s browser and use other techniques, such as pixel tags.

Analytics companies

Information collected by Google Analytics is transmitted to, and stored by, Google in accordance with its privacy practices. To see an overview of privacy at Google and how this applies to Google Analytics, please click here: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245.

To opt out of Google Analytics, please go to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

12. Privacy Choices

In addition to their Advertising Choices described in the section immediately above, users have numerous other choices regarding information pertaining to them.

Electronic Communications

If you receive commercial electronic communications from us, you can unsubscribe from the receipt of future commercial electronic communications from us by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link provided in such communications.

You may also opt out of receiving commercial electronic communications by logging in to your kithkitchens.com account, clicking on “My Account”, and selecting “Newsletters”. We will comply with your request(s) within ten (10) working days.

Please note that if you opt out of receiving commercial electronic communications from us, we may still send you important administrative messages (such as updates about your account or service changes), and you cannot opt out from receiving these messages.

California Residents

California grants additional rights, and requires additional disclosures, to users that reside in California regarding their rights, specifically:

Direct Marketing

California law requires that operators of only services inform California residents who have provided personal information that is primarily used for personal, family or household purposes that they may request provide information about the disclosures of certain categories of personal information to third parties for such third parties’ direct marketing purposes.

We do not currently share users’ information with third parties for these third parties’ direct marketing purposes. If our practices change, we will notify you and offer the options specified by applicable law.

Do-Not-Track

Some browsers give individuals the ability to communicate that they wish not to be tracked while browsing on the Internet. California law requires that we disclose to users how we treat do-not-track requests. The Internet industry has not yet agreed on a definition of what “Do Not Track” means, how compliance with “Do Not Track” would be measured or evaluated, or a common approach to responding to a “Do Not Track” signal. Consequently, due to the lack of guidance, we have not yet developed features that would recognize or respond to browser-initiated Do Not Track signals in response to California law.

In the meantime, there are technical means to prevent some of the tracking. See Section “Advertising Choices.”

13. Right to Access or Delete Information

Account Information and Profile Settings

Users have the right to review, change, or suppress personal information that we have collected from them. There are several ways to do this. You can update your account information and your profile settings by logging into your account.

You can also contact us as indicated in the “Contact Us” section of this Privacy Notice. For your protection, we may only implement requests with respect to the personal information associated with the email address that you use to send us your request, and we may need to verify your identity before implementing your request. We will try to comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable.

We reserve the right to refuse to act on a request that is manifestly unfounded or excessive (for example because it is repetitive) and/or to charge a fee that takes into account the administrative costs for providing the information or the communication or taking the action requested.

We may need to retain certain information for record keeping purposes and/or to complete any transactions that you began prior to your request. Residual information may remain within our databases and other records, but it will no longer be tied to your identity.

14. Security; Information Retention

We seek to use reasonable technical, organizational, and administrative measures to protect user information within our control against unauthorized or unlawful access or processing, and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage. We believe that these measures are reasonably adapted to the nature of the information in our custody.

We limit access to our users’ information to only those employees and third parties who reasonably need access to it to perform the activities attached to their job responsibilities. We take reasonable steps to ensure that all information we process is reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete and current to the extent necessary for the purposes for which we use it. However, no information transmission over the Internet, and no security system or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% effective or secure. Thus, we cannot guarantee the security of any information we may have collected or received from or about users.

If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), or if you suspect someone else is using your account, please let us know immediately by contacting us as indicated in the “Contact Us” section of this Privacy Notice.

We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

15. Links to Third Party Sites or Services

The Platform may contain links to other websites or services that are not owned, operated or controlled by Company. We have no control over, and are not responsible for the information collection and/or handling practices of such other websites or applications. The display, on the Platform, of a link to a third party’s website, app or service does not imply that (i) we endorse any of the third party’s products, services or information handling practices; or (ii) the third parties’ products, services or practices are covered by this Privacy Notice.

>> We encourage you to be aware when you leave our Platform, and to read the privacy statements of each website or app on which you land after you click on a link or social networking button.
