We use domestic and international third-party service providers to serve ads and/or collect data on our behalf across the Internet and sometimes on this Web site. Some of these service providers may collect information about your visits to our Web site, and your interaction with our products and services to tailor marketing messages on this Web site and other sites or to trigger real-time interaction, customize this Web site or enhance your profile. Some of these service providers may be able to collect personal information that you share with this site via a web form automatically and before your pressing a submit button; they may be able to use information from your visits to this site to send marketing messages to you in a way that may personally identify you. This information is collected through the use of a cookie, a javascript tag and/or pixel, which is industry-standard technology used by most major web sites. The information collected by these service providers may include your device’s IP address, user agent, email addresses (where hashed or otherwise rendered pseudonymous) and other user and device level pseudonymous information.

INFORMATION RETENTION
The Company retains your information as long as it is required for the purposes identified when you provided the information, or for any new purposes identified by the Company and consented to by you, and for any appropriate time thereafter including a sufficient time following to permit you to ask any questions regarding its use. Certain information is retained for longer periods for our internal audit and quality control purposes.
When you place an order through the Site, we will maintain your Order Information for our records unless and until you ask us to delete this information.
THIRD-PARTY VENDORS
The Company maintains existing business relationships and may develop other relationships in the future with certain parties (“Vendors”) domestically and internationally. In these instances, the Company may share or otherwise allow partial access to the Personal Information that is collected that will enable Vendors to contact you regarding your order. The Company may contract Vendors to perform functions on our behalf. Examples may include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, e-mail administrative functions, processing credit card payments, administering chargeback representations and providing customer service. These Vendors are under contractual obligation to use confidential data only for those purposes for which they are contracted to provide.
THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES
Our Sites may contain links to other third-party websites, which may have Privacy Policies/Statements that differ from our own. We are not responsible for the activities and practices that take place on these websites. Accordingly, we recommend that you review the Privacy Policy/Statement posted on any website that you may access through our Sites.
UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES
If the Company or any of its assets are acquired by a third-party, Personal Information acquired by us may be one of the assets transferred.
COOKIES
Our Sites use a technology called “cookies”. A cookie is a tiny element of data that our Sites can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your hard drive so we can recognize you when you return. All pages on our Sites where you are prompted to log in or that are customizable require that you accept cookies. If you have registered with our Sites, these cookies (1) may let us know who you are, (2) are necessary to access your account information (stored on our computers) to deliver products and personalized services, and (3) will provide us and our affiliate members with information that we will use to personalize our Sites following your preferences. Cookies are also required to optimize your shopping experience in that they allow you to add multiple items to your order before completing your transaction. You may set your Web browser to notify you when you receive a cookie. However, should you decide not to accept cookies from our Sites, you will limit the functionality we can provide when you visit our Sites.
SECURITY
Our Company maintains physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect the Personal Information you provide to us.
CALL CENTERS
When you call one of our call centers about a product, delivery, billing question or for customer service, you may be asked for Personal Information that identifies you, along with additional information we need to help us promptly answer your question, such as your name, address, email address and a phone number where we might contact you. By completing or submitting a registration form or partial registration form you are consenting to receive SMS, wireless or other mobile offerings to your cellular phone.

SECURITY
When you place orders on our Sites, all of your order information, including your card number and delivery address, is transmitted through the Internet using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. SSL technology causes your browser to encrypt your order information before transmitting it to our secure server. SSL technology, an industry-standard, is designed to prevent someone other than operators of our Sites from capturing and viewing your Personal Information. While we strive to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee or warrant its complete security. No data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. We shall not be responsible for harm that you or any person may suffer as a result of a breach of confidentiality in respect to your use of our Sites or any information you transmit to our Sites.
CHILDREN’S ONLINE PRIVACY PROTECTION
The Company serves general users of the World Wide Web. We do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13, nor do we share such information with third parties. Children under the age of 18 may use the Sites only with the involvement of a parent or guardian.
MODIFICATIONS TO POLICY
We reserve the right to change this Policy, along with any related provisions, at any time. Any changes to this Policy will be effective immediately. Be sure to review the Policy periodically to ensure familiarity with its most current version. You can easily confirm whether any revisions have been posted since your last visit by checking the date on which the Policy was last revised, which is set forth at the top of this Policy. If you object to such changes, we will honor our prior privacy policies as to any data previously collected. If you disagree with the changes in our policy, however, please do not use the Sites after the posting of such changes online. By using the Sites following the posting of changes to this Policy, you agree to all such changes.
DO NOT TRACK
Kalyagen does not track its customers over time and across third-party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore does not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals. However, some third-party sites do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you. If you are visiting such sites, your web browser may allow you to set the DNT signal so that third parties (particularly advertisers) know you do not want to be tracked.
Third parties that have content embedded on Kalyagen websites such as a shopify.com or google.com/analytics/ may set cookies on a user’s browser and/or obtain information about the fact that a web browser visited a specific Kalyagen website from a certain IP address. Third parties cannot collect any other personally identifiable information from Kalyagen websites unless you provide it to them directly.
YOUR RIGHTS
Provided the rights and freedoms of others are not affected, upon your request, we will provide you with a copy of your personal data in a commonly used machine-readable format. The first copy will be free of charge, but additional copies may be subject to a reasonable fee. If you believe any personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request correction or completion of such data. You have the right to request the erasure of your personal data without undue delay, or to restrict the processing of your personal data (provided that such right to erasure may be excluded if necessary to perform a legal task or to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim). To the extent that the legal basis for our processing of your personal information is consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. If at any time you effectively revoke your consent or effectively object to further processing of your personal data by the Company for a specific purpose, upon your request, the Company will cease processing your personal data for such purpose. If you believe that our processing of your personal data infringes data protection laws, you have a legal right to lodge a complaint with a governmental authority responsible for data protection. You have the right to be informed transparently, clearly, and comprehensively with respect to how we process and use your data and your rights in connection therewith.
LEGAL GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA
