KELA Privacy Policy

Last Revised: February 19, 2017

 

Introduction
Kela Research and Strategy Ltd. (“us”, “we” or “Company”) respect the privacy of our users (each, “you” or “User”) and are committed to protect the privacy of Users who access, visit, use or engage with our website(collectively: the “Services”).

The Company has papered this Privacy Policy to outline our practices with respect to collecting, using and disclosing your information when you use the Services.

We encourage you to read the Privacy Policy carefully and use it to make informed decisions. By using the Services, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy and your continued use of the Services constitutes your ongoing agreement to the Privacy Policy.

In this Privacy Policy you will read about, among other things:

  • What type of information we collect
  • Cookies and Google Analytics
  • How we use the information
  • With whom we share the information and for what purpose
  • For how long we retain the information
  • How we protect your information
  • How to contact us

 

What type of information we collect

We may collect two types of data and information from our Users.

The first type of information is un-identified and non-identifiable information pertaining to you, which may be made available or gathered via your use of the Services (“Non-personal Information“). We are not aware of the identity from which the Non-personal Information is collected. Non-personal Information which is collected may include your aggregated usage information and technical information transmitted by your device, including certain software and hardware information about your device (e.g., the device you use, the type of browser and operating system your device uses, language preference, access time and the
website’s domain name from which you linked to the Services, etc.), in order to enhance the functionality
of the Services. We may also collect information about your activity on the Services (e.g., clicks, actions,
etc.).

The second type of information is individually identifiable information, namely information that identifies an individual or may with reasonable effort identify an individual (“Personal Information”).

Such information may include:

  • Voluntarily Information: We may collect information which you provide us voluntarily, such as your
    full name, email address, phone number, as well as any other information you agreed to share with
    us. For instance, when you respond to communications from us, communicate with us via email or
    share additional information about yourself through your use of the Services. We may also collect
    the feedback, suggestions, complaints and reports which you send to us.
  • Device Information: We may collect Personal Information from your device. Such information may
    include geolocation data, IP address, unique identifiers (e.g., MAC address and UUID) as well as
    other information which relates to your activity through the Services.

For avoidance of doubt, if we combine Personal Information with Non-personal Information, the combined information will be treated as Personal Information as long as it remains combined.

 

Cookies and Google Analytics
We may use cookies and other technologies or methods of web and mobile analysis (e.g., pixels, Google
Analytics) to gather, store, and track certain information related with your access to and activity through
the Services, including when you visit our website.

A “cookie” is a small piece of information that a website assign to your device while you are viewing a
website. Cookies are very helpful and may be used for various different purposes. These purposes include, among other things, allowing you to navigate between pages efficiently, enabling automatic activation of certain features, remembering your preferences and making the interaction between you and the Services quicker, easier and smoother.

Our website may use the following types of cookies:

  • Session Cookies which are stored only temporarily during a browsing session in order to allow
    normal use of the system and are deleted from your device when the browser is closed.
  • Persistent Cookies which are saved on your device for a fixed period and are not deleted when the
    browser is closed. Such cookies are used where we need to identify who you are for repeated visits
    (for instance, to allow us to store your preferences for the next sign-in).
  • Third-Party Cookies which are set by other online services that run content on the page you view
    on your browser (for example, by third-party advertising companies who monitor and analyze our
    website access).

You may remove the cookies by following the instructions of your device preferences. However, if you
choose to disable cookies, some features of the Services may not operate properly and your online
experience may be limited.

We also use a tool called Google Analytics to collect information about your use of the Services. Google
Analytics collects information such as how often users access the Services, what pages they visit when they do so, etc. We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve our Services. Google Analytics collects the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit sites, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.

 

How we use the information
We use and share Personal Information in the manners described in this Privacy Policy. In addition to the purposes listed above, the information we collect, which may include your Personal Information, is used for the following purposes:

  • To provide our Services;

  • To perform a research or to conduct analytics in order to improve and customize the Services to
    your needs and interests;
  • To support and troubleshoot the Services and to respond to your queries (e.g., through the Contact
    Us or Apply Now forms);
  • To investigate and resolve disputes in connection with your use of the Services;
  • To detect and prevent fraudulent and illegal activity or any other type of activity that may
    jeopardize or negatively affect the integrity of the Services; and

    governmental authority, or to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process or respond to a
