This is the privacy policy (“Policy”) of Kikori, Inc. (“Kikori” or “we”) that applies to users of the Kikori website, kikoriapp.com (the “Website”) and mobile phone application (the “App,” and together with the Website, the “Service”).

 

This Policy describes the ways that the Service collects, uses and discloses personally identifiable information (“PII”) that relates to you. The Policy applies to PII that we collect ourselves as well as PII that is collected about you by third-parties with which we work.

 

 This Policy applies to PII collected by the Service. This Policy does not apply to PII that:

• we collect in ways other than through the Service, including on any other website that we or a third party operate; or

• any third party may collect, including through any application or content (including advertising) that may link to or be accessible via the Service.

 

By visiting, accessing, using or downloading the Service, you agree to our collection and use of PII as this Policy describes. This Policy may change from time to time. Your continued use of the Service after any modification means that you acknowledge the change and agree to the practices that we disclose in the Policy.

 

How this Policy Relates to Enterprise Agreements

Some but not all users of the Service use it in connection with agreements that Kikori has with organizations (for example, schools or school districts). This Policy refers to those agreements as “Enterprise Agreements.” For example, schools sometimes enter into Enterprise Agreements that allow those schools’ educators to use the Service. If you are an individual who uses the Service in connection with an Enterprise Agreement, then this Policy applies to you except to any extent that an Enterprise Agreement may conflict with this Policy. For example, if an Enterprise Agreement provides that we will handle PII relating to you in a particular way not described here, then we will comply with that Enterprise Agreement.

 

PII That You Manually Provide Us

 

The PII that you manually provide us through or in connection with the Service may include:

• Information that you enter into forms on the Service. This includes information provided at the time of registering to use certain parts of the Service. We may also ask you for information if you report a problem with the Service.

• Any other PII contained in written, visual or other content that you choose to provide to us as you use the Service.

• Records and copies of your correspondence (including email addresses), if you contact us.

• Your responses to surveys that we might ask you to complete for research purposes.

• Details of transactions that you may carry out through the Service and of the fulfillment of your orders. You may be required to provide financial information before placing an order through the Service.

• Any PII contained in search queries that you type into the Service’s search interfaces.

 

In these ways, we may ask you for your name, email address and other contact information, schools or school districts with which you be affiliated as an employee or otherwise, payment information, and information about how you have used the Service.

 

PII That We Collect Automatically Through Data Collection Technologies

 

As you use the Service, we may use automatic data collection technologies to collect information about your equipment and browsing actions. These may include:

• Details of your visits to the Service, including traffic data, location data, logs, and the resources that you access and use on the Service.

• Information about your computer/device and Internet connection, including your IP address, operating system, and browser type.

 

We also may use these technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or other online services (behavioral tracking).

​

We collect this information to help us understand how people use the Service, how we can improve its speed, how we can make it easier for people to use it and in some cases to advertise the Service or other products that we offer. The technologies we use for automatic data collection may include:

• Cookies (or browser cookies). A cookie is a small file placed on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device. You may refuse to accept cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your browser, but doing so may make you unable to access certain parts of the Website. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting to refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you visit the Service. Third-Party Services (including Meta / Facebook) may use cookies in connection with your use of the Service as well.

• Web Beacons. Some pages or areas within the Service may contain electronic files known as web beacons (also called clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that let us, for example, count users who have visited those pages and for other website statistics, like recording the popularity of website content and verifying system and server integrity.

 

You may opt out of our use of these tools with you, and you can learn more about how to do so at the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Webchoices page, European Advertising Standards Alliance (EASA)’s Framework and the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt Out page.
