Our use of Cookies and tracking
Cookies
We use Cookies to make interactions with our Service easy and meaningful. We use Cookies (and similar technologies, like HTML5 localStorage) to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and provide information for future development of our Services.
A Cookie is a small piece of text that our web servers store on your computer or mobile device, which your browser sends to us when you return to our site. Cookies do not necessarily identify you if you are merely visiting the Website; however, a Cookie may store a unique identifier for each user logged-in to an Account on the Kozu Platform. The Cookies We set are essential for the operation of the Services, or are used for performance or functionality. By using our Services, you agree that we can place these types of cookies on your computer or device. If you disable your browser or device's ability to accept Cookies from Us, you will not be able to log-in or use our Services.
Plausible Analytics
We use Plausible Analytics as a third-party analytics service to monitor use of Our Services. Plausible Analytics does this "without collecting any personal data or personally identifiable information (PII), without using cookies and while respecting the privacy of the website visitors". You can read more about their Data Policy here.
Tracking
We do not track your online browsing activity on other online services over time and we do not permit third-party services to track your activity on our Services beyond our use of Plausible Analytics as described above.

Compelled Disclosure
We may disclose Personal Data or other information we collect about you to law enforcement in response to a valid subpoena, court order, warrant, or similar government order, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect our property or rights, or those of third parties or the public at large.
In complying with court orders and similar legal processes, We strive for transparency. When permitted, We will make a reasonable effort to notify You of any disclosure of Your information, unless We are prohibited by law or court order from doing so, or in rare, exigent circumstances.
Retention of Your Personal Data
The Company will retain Your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

The Company will also retain Usage Data for internal analysis purposes. Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period of time, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of Our Service, or We are legally obligated to retain this data for longer time periods.
How we secure Your Personal Data
We take all measures reasonably necessary to protect Your Personal Data from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction; maintain data accuracy; and help ensure the appropriate use of Your Personal Data. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it.
No method of transmission, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. For more information, see our various security disclosures.
How We communicate with You
We may use Your Personal Data to communicate with you, if you have explicitly given us permission to do so, and only for the reasons you have given permission. Depending on your email settings, We may occasionally send notification emails about new features, requests for feedback, important policy changes, or offer customer support. We also send marketing emails, but only with your consent. There is an unsubscribe link located at the bottom of each of the emails we send you. Our emails might contain a pixel tag, which is a small, clear image that can tell us whether or not you have opened an email and what your IP address is. We use this pixel tag to make our email more effective for you and to make sure we are not sending you unwanted email. If you prefer not to receive pixel tags, please opt out of marketing emails.
Children's Privacy
Our Services do not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from anyone under the age of 13. If You are a parent or guardian and You are aware that Your child has provided Us with Personal Data, please contact Us. If We become aware that We have collected Personal Data from anyone under the age of 13 without verification of parental consent, We take steps to remove that information from Our servers.
If We need to rely on consent as a legal basis for processing Your information and Your country requires consent from a parent, We may require Your parent's consent before We collect and use that information.
Links to Other Websites
Our Service may contain links to other websites that are not operated by Us. If You click on a third party link, You will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise You to review the Privacy Policy of every site You visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.
