What Types of Information and Data Does Kuder Collect, and When Does It Collect This Data?

Kuder collects various types of Personal Information. We collect this information when you provide it to us (whether directly or through our subsidiaries and/or representatives) or when you use certain services provided by Kuder.

“Personal Information” is information that can be used to identify, locate, or contact you as a natural person, as well as other information about you that we tie to Personal Information. Personal Information that we collect includes, but is not limited to, the following types of information:

“Non-Personal Information” is any information that does not identify a natural person and is not identifiable to a natural person, such as:

In addition to the methods described above, Personal Information and Non-Personal Information may be collected by Kuder from its subsidiaries and authorized Sponsoring Organizations as part of its standard business operations, to provide services to the subsidiaries and authorized sponsoring organizations, and as otherwise agreed pursuant to agreements between Kuder and such subsidiaries and authorized Sponsoring Organizations.

When data is described as “anonymized,” it means that the data is no longer associated with a particular person.  When data is described as “aggregated,” it means that such information has been combined with other data in such a way that no person can be identified or linked to any specific action or information.

How Kuder Uses Your Information (the “Purposes”)

Subject to the limitations and other rights set forth in this Privacy Policy, Kuder uses your Personal Information in its identifiable form for a variety of purposes, including:

These Purposes may be necessary for Kuder to perform a contract to which you are a party, comply with a legal obligation to which Kuder is subject, protect Kuder’s vital interests or the interests of another natural person, or otherwise pursue Kuder’s legitimate business purposes and objectives.  Kuder may obtain your consent to process your Personal Information, as necessary.

Kuder collects Non-Personal Information in the same ways it collects Personal Information, described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy.

Because Non-Personal Information does not personally identify you, Kuder may use and disclose Non-Personal Information for any purpose. In some instances, Kuder may combine Non-Personal Information with Personal Information (such as combining your name with your location data). If Kuder combines any Non-Personal Information with Personal Information, Kuder will treat the combined information as Personal Information.

In addition, Kuder reserves the right to use anonymized and aggregated Personal Information to improve its products and services, to create and publish reports, to conduct statistical analysis about our customers and products, and for other activities that do not result in the disclosure of your identifiable information.

When Will Kuder Disclose Your Information, and Who May Receive It?

Kuder is committed to being transparent regarding the manner in which we use and disclose your information. We may disclose and share your information as follows:

As noted above, Kuder reserves the right to use and disclose anonymized and aggregated Personal Information to improve its products and services, to create and publish reports, to conduct statistical analysis about our customers and products, and for other activities that do not result in the disclosure of your identifiable information.

How Long Will Kuder Keep your Information?  

Kuder keeps different kinds of personal data for different lengths of time, depending on the Purposes for which they are processed and the unique circumstances of your situation.  Kuder will hold your Personal Information as long as necessary for the relevant Purpose.  For more information on Kuder’s data-retention policy and how long your data might be retained, please contact us as provided below.

Website Data Collection, Cookies, and Similar Technology

When you visit our website or use our mobile applications, we collect certain information by automated means, using technologies such as cookies, pixel tags, browser analysis tools, server logs and web beacons.

For example, when you visit our website, we may place cookies on your computer. Cookies are small text files that websites send to your computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify your browser or to store information or settings in your browser. Cookies allow us to recognize you when you return. They also help us provide a customized experience and enable us to detect certain kinds of fraud. We may also use Adobe Flash Cookies, Microsoft Silverlight, and similar technologies which remember your settings, preferences, and usage in a manner similar to browser cookies to personalize and enhance your online experience, but which are not managed through your browser. To manage your Flash and Silverlight cookies, please see Adobe’s and Microsoft’s websites.

Pixel tags and web beacons are tiny graphic images placed on website pages or in our emails that allow us to determine whether you have performed a specific action. When you access these pages or open or click an email, the pixel tags and web beacons generate a notice of that action. These tools allow us to measure the response to our communications and improve our web pages and promotions.

We collect many different types of information from cookies and other technologies. For example, we may collect information about the device you use to access our website, your operating system type, browser type, domain, and other system settings, as well as the language your system uses and the country and time zone where your device is located. Our server logs also may record the IP address or derivative of the device you use to connect to the Internet. An IP address is a unique identifier that devices use to identify and communicate with each other on the Internet. We may also collect information about the website you were visiting before you came to Kuder and the website you visit after you leave our site.

In many cases, the information we collect using cookies and other tools is only used in a non-identifiable way, without reference to Personal Information. For example, we use the information we collect about website users to optimize our websites and to understand website traffic patterns. In some cases, we do associate the information we collect using cookies and other technology with your Personal Information. Additionally, if the settings on your geo-aware mobile devices permit our mobile applications to collect location information, we will collect that information automatically. This Privacy Policy governs how we use all of this information when we associate it with your Personal Information.

For EU Residents: 

The General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), particularly Articles 15 to 21, affords an EU resident, a number of rights as a data subject.  If you are an EU resident, Kuder encourages you to read and learn about those rights on your own.  However, the following will help you to begin to understand those rights afforded to EU residents.

In addition, to the extent that Kuder processes any of your Personal Information on the basis of your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing that was based on your consent before its withdrawal.

If you are a natural person residing in the EU and at any time you believe Kuder has violated one of your rights listed above, or if you believe Kuder is in violation of one or more of the provisions of the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a Data Protection Authority.  More information about the Data Protection Authorities can be found at https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/reform/what-are-data-protection-authorities-dpas_en.

Children’s Privacy

Except in the case of Kuder Galaxy, we do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children under the age of 13. If you are under 18, please be sure to read this section of our Privacy Policy with your parent(s) or legal guardian(s) and ask questions about things you do not understand.

It also requires us to obtain verifiable consent from a child’s parent for certain collection, use, and disclosure of the child’s personal information.

A school may sign up a child for online websites subject to COPPA and then under the provisions of COPPA, the school transfers such consent to Kuder through agreements with schools. This section seeks to provide the relevant notifications under COPPA, including:

This section only applies to children under the age of 13 and supplements the other provisions of this privacy policy. Only the other provisions of this privacy policy apply to teens and adults.
