The Company has prepared 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.

What type of information we collect
When you use our Services, we may collect the following information which can be associated with you (“Personal information“):
- Contact information: When you sign up as a customer, vendor, or partner,
you will be asked to provide certain information about yourself, including
personally identifiable information, such as your full name, email address,
phone number, as well as any other information you agreed to share with
us. - Voluntary information: 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 and record the

Cookies and Google Analytics
Cookies are small data files that are placed on users’ devices to monitor how users interact with websites and other online services.
Cookies can be used to identify your IP address, browser type, domain name, and specific web pages through which you click.
You can learn more about our use of cookies and manage your preferences through our consent management tool.
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.

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

You agree that we shall have no liability whatsoever with respect to such third-party sites and your usage of them.
Accessing and Updating Personal Information
When you use the Services, we make good faith efforts to provide you with access to your Personal Information and either correct this data if it is inaccurate or delete such data at your request if it is not otherwise required to be retained by law or for our legitimate business purposes, therefore you may contact us at any time and request: (i) to access, delete, change or update any Personal Information relating to you (for example, if you believe that your Personal Information is incorrect, you may ask to have it corrected or deleted); or (ii) that we will cease any further use of your

If you are not satisfied with our response or believe we are collecting or processing your Personal Information not in accordance with the laws, you can complain to the applicable data protection authority.
How we protect your information
While no measures can ever guarantee absolute security, We take great care in implementing and maintaining the security of the Services and your information. We employ industry standard procedures and policies to ensure the safety of your information, and prevent unauthorized use of any such information. Although we take reasonable steps to safeguard information, we cannot be responsible for the acts of those who gain unauthorized access or abuse the Services, and we make no warranty, express, implied or otherwise, that we will prevent such access.
These include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures, as well as physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal data. Additionally, all log data is automatically deleted after 6 months. We restrict access to personal information to KELA employees, contractors and agents (including third party hosting platforms) who need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve our services. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be
subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations.
Corporate Transaction
We may share information, including Personal Information, in the event of a corporate transaction (e.g., sale of a substantial part of our business, merger,
consolidation or asset sale of an asset or transfer in the operation thereof) of the Company. In the event of the above, the acquiring company or transferee will assume the rights and obligations as described in this Privacy Policy.
Minors
The Services are not designated to individuals under the age of 16. If you are under 16 years old, you should not use the Services, or provide any Personal Information to us.
We reserve the right to access and verify any Personal Information collected from you. In the event that we become aware that an individual under the age of 16 has shared any information, we will discard such information. If you have any reason to believe that a minor has shared any information with us, please contact us at info@ke-la.com.
