I. HOW AND WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT

1. How we collect information

We collect information in two basic ways:

  1. We collect information that we request from you and that you voluntarily provide in connection with the purchase and/or receipt of our Services, such as your name, your e-mail address, and your phone number; and
  2. When you browse or use our Website, technological tools including “Log Data” and “Cookies” collect certain information, as explained in the following section.

2. What information we collect and how we use it

  1. Personal Information. When you want to purchase or receive the Services, we ask you for certain information about you that could be used to contact or identify you (“Personal Information”). Personal Information may include, but is not limited to:
  • your first and last name
  • your email address
  • your physical and mailing address
  • your telephone number
  • a persistent computer identifier that can be used to recognize a user over time and across different websites or online services

We use your Personal Information (in some cases, in conjunction with your “Non-Identifying Information,” see below) to provide the Services or additional services to you. For example:

  1. We use your Personal Information to contact you in connection with the Services, to request clarification, ask questions or obtain more information, or possibly in connection with WATKYN LLC newsletters, white papers, marketing or promotional materials and other information that may be of interest to you. If you decide at any time that you no longer wish to receive such communications from us, please follow the unsubscribe instructions provided in any of the communications. (See “Your Rights Regarding The Use of Your Personal Information” below.)
  2. Customer service. We use your Personal Information to respond to your questions and/or inquiries.
  1. Non-Personal Information. We also collect other information that you provide as part of your use of the Website or request for Services that cannot reasonably be used to identify or contact you (“Non-Personal Information”). Certain Non-Personal Information would be considered a part of your Personal Information if it were combined with other identifiers (for example, combining your zip code with your street address) in a way that enables you to be personally identified or contacted. But the same pieces of information are considered Non-Personal Information when they are taken alone or combined only with other Non-Personal Information. We may use your Non-Personal Information and aggregate it with information collected from other WATKYN users to attempt to provide you with a better experience, to improve the quality and value of the Website or Services and to analyze and understand how our Website and Services are used. We may also use the combined information without aggregating it to serve you specifically, for instance to present an offer to you according to your preferences or restrictions.
  2. Log Data. When you visit the Website, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website (“Log Data”). This Log Data may include information such as the browser type or the webpage you were visiting before you came to our Website, pages of our Website that you visit, the time spent on those pages, information you search for on our Website, access times and dates, and other statistics. We use this information to monitor and analyze use of the Website and the Website’s technical administration, to increase our Website’s functionality and user-friendliness, and to better tailor our Website to our visitors’ needs and wishes. For example, some of this information is collected so that when you visit the Website again, it will recognize you and the information could then be used to serve advertisements and other information appropriate to your interests. We also use this information to verify that visitors to the Website meet the criteria required to process their requests.
  3. Like many online services, WATKYN uses “cookies” on our Website to collect information. You have the right to consent to our use of all or only certain categories of cookies for you. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your computer or mobile device’s hard disk. We may use cookies for two purposes. First, we may utilize “persistent” cookies to recognize you when you return to the Website. Second, we utilize “session ID” cookies to enable certain features of the Website, to better understand how you interact with the Website and to monitor aggregate usage by WATKYN users and web traffic routing on the Website. Unlike persistent cookies, session cookies are deleted from your computer when you leave the Website and then close your browser. You can instruct your browser, by changing its settings, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all portions of the Website or all functionality of the Website. You can also read our Cookie Policy that governs our use of cookies on this website and to manage your consent related to cookies. (See further “Your Rights Regarding The Use of Your Personal Information” below.)

3. Our policy towards children’s information

This Website is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with Personal Information without their consent, he or she should contact us at hello@watkyn.com. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with Personal Information, we will delete such information from our servers and files.

II. HOW WE USE AND SHARE INFORMATION

Personal Information

Except as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, we do not sell, trade, rent or otherwise share for marketing purposes your Personal Information with third parties without your consent. We may share Personal Information with vendors who are performing services for us, such as the servers for our e-mail communications who are provided access to user’s e-mail address for purposes of sending e-mails from us or vendors who provide payment-processing services on our Website. Those vendors use your Personal Information only at our direction and in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

In addition, the Personal Information you provide to us is used to help us communicate with you. For example, we may use Personal Information to contact users in response to questions, solicit feedback from users, provide technical support, and inform users about promotional offers.

In the event we undergo a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your Personal Information may be among the assets transferred. You acknowledge and consent that such transfers may occur and are permitted by this Privacy Policy, and that any acquirer of our assets may continue to process your Personal Information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. If our information practices change at any time in the future, we will post the policy changes to the Website so that you may opt out of the new information practices. We suggest that you check the Website periodically if you are concerned about how your information is used.

Non-Personal Information

In general, we use Non-Personal Information to help us improve the Website and Services and customize the user experience. We also aggregate Non-Personal Information in order to track trends and analyze use patterns on the Website. This Privacy Policy does not limit in any way our use or disclosure of Non-Personal Information and we reserve the right to use and disclose such Non-Personal Information to our partners, advertisers and other third parties at our discretion.

Compliance with Laws and Law Enforcement

WATKYN LLC cooperates with government and law enforcement officials and private parties to enforce and comply with the law. We can disclose any information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to respond to claims and legal process including, but not limited to, subpoenas, to protect the property and rights of WATKYN LLC or a third party, to protect the safety of the public or any person, or to prevent or stop activity we may consider to be, or to pose a risk of being, illegal, unethical or legally actionable activity.

III. HOW WE PROTECT INFORMATION

We implement certain security measures designed to protect information from unauthorized access. We protect your financial information from potential security breaches by utilizing payment processors with certain technological security measures including encryption and firewalls. However, these measures do not guarantee that your information will not be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed by breach of such firewalls. By using our Website and Services, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to assume these risks.

IV. YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING THE USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

You have the right at any time to prevent us from contacting you for marketing purposes. When we send a promotional communication to a user, the user can opt out of further promotional communications by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in each promotional e-mail. Please note that notwithstanding the promotional preferences you indicate by either unsubscribing or opting out, we may continue to send you administrative emails including, for example, periodic updates to our Privacy Policy or related to the Services.

You have the right to preemptively withhold consent to us selling your personal information by selecting the “Do not sell my personal information” option of your cookie consent form.

Your information may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, WATKYN LLC transfers Personal Information to the United States and processes it there. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.

You can also read our Cookie Policy that governs our use of cookies on this website and manage your consent related to cookies.

V. LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES

As part of the Website or Services, we may provide links to or compatibility with other websites or applications. However, we are not responsible for the privacy practices employed by those websites or the information or content they contain. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by us through the Website. Therefore, this Privacy Policy does not apply to your use of a third party website accessed by selecting a link on our Website or via our Service. To the extent that you access or use the Website through or on another website or application, then the privacy policy of that other website or application will apply to your access or use of that site or application. We encourage our users to read the privacy statements of other websites before proceeding to use them.

VI. CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY

We reserve the right to change this policy and our Terms of Use at any time. We will notify you of significant changes to our Privacy Policy by sending a notice to the primary email address specified when you ordered our Services or by placing a prominent notice on our Website. Significant changes will go into effect 30 days following such notification. Non-material changes or clarifications will take effect immediately. You should periodically check the Website and this privacy page for updates.
