This Privacy Policy describes the Kindren Tree's policies and procedures on the collection, use and disclosure of your information. Kindren Tree receives your information through our various web sites, emails, APIs, services and third-parties ("Services"). When using any of our Services You consent to the collection, transfer, manipulation, storage, disclosure and other uses of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. Irrespective of which country that You reside in or create information from, your information may be used by Kindren Tree in the United States or any other country where Kindren Tree operates.
Information Collected Upon Registration: When You create or reconfigure a Kindren Tree account, You provide some personal information, such as your name, alias, social media profile, location, and email address. Some of this information, for example, your name, social media links and location, can be listed publicly on our Services, including on your profile page and in listing results.
Personal Information: In the Registration process, Kindren Tree may give You the option of answering personal questions about your life history for the purpose of determining certain account attributes like Specialty Skills. You can decline to answer these questions as they are not required for registration. Giving Kindren Tree this private information is optional but if it is given then it can be used in assigning data values to your account and listed publicly as part of our Services.
Additional Information: You may provide us with additional information and material to make public, such as biographical data, desired services and merchandise, a picture or other media. We may use your contact information to send You information about our Services or to market to You. You may unsubscribe from these messages by following the instructions contained within the messages or the instructions on our web site. If You email us, We may keep your message, email address and contact information to respond to your request. Providing the additional information described in this section is entirely optional.
Public Information: Our Services are primarily designed to help You share information with the world. Most of the information You provide to us is information You are asking us to make public. This includes not only the messages You send and the metadata provided with them but also the organizations You create or join, profiles You mark as favorites and many other bits of information. Our default is almost always to make the information You provide public so You should be careful about all information that You submit to Kindren Tree and will be made public by Kindren Tree.
Location Information: You may choose to note your location in your messages and in your Kindren Tree profile.
Log Data: Our servers may automatically record information ("Log Data") created by your use of the Services. Log Data may include information such as your IP address, browser type, the referring domain, pages visited, and search terms. Other actions, such as interactions with advertisements, may also be included in Log Data.
Links: Kindren Tree may keep track of how You interact with links across our Services including third party clients by redirecting clicks or through other means. We do this to help improve our Services, including advertising, and to be able to share aggregate click statistics such as how many times a particular link was clicked on.
Cookies: Like many websites, we use "cookie" technology to collect additional website usage data and to improve our Services, but we do not require cookies for many parts of our Services such as looking at public User profiles or lists. A cookie is a small data file that is transferred to your computer's hard disk. Kindren Tree may use both session cookies and persistent cookies to better understand how You interact with our Services, to monitor aggregate usage by our Users and web traffic routing on our Services, and to improve our Services. Most Internet browsers automatically accept cookies. You can instruct your browser, by editing its settings, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt You before accepting a cookie from the websites You visit.
Third Party Services: Kindren Tree uses a variety of supporting services hosted by third parties such as Patreon, Pinterest, Paypal, Facebook, Twitter, Mailchimp, Wordpress, Youtube, Tumblr and Google. These Third Parties help provide our Services, such as hosting our various blogs, media channels, project promotions, member lists and mailing lists. Third Parties like Patreon and Paypal help us to receive and process monetary funding from sponsors. In addition, some Third Parties help us understand the use of our Services, such as with Google Analytics. These Third Parties may collect information sent by your browser as part of a web page request, such as cookies or your IP request.
Your Consent: We may share or disclose your information with your consent, such as when You use a third party web client to access your Kindren Tree account.
Service Providers: We engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to us. We may share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these functions and provide such services, and only pursuant to obligations mirroring the protections of this privacy policy.
Law and Harm: We may disclose your information if we believe that it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation or legal request; to protect the safety of any person; to address fraud, security or technical issues; or to protect Kindren Tree's rights or property.
Business Transfers: In the event that Kindren Tree is involved in a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets, your information may be sold or transferred as part of that transaction. The promises in this privacy policy will apply to your information as transferred to the new entity.
Disputes, Ratings and Points: In the interest of community trust and transparency, Kindren Tree may publicly share User ratings, feedback, virtual points data, penalty data, game stats and account transaction data. The results of User disputes may also be shared for this purpose.
Non-Private or Non-Personal Information: We may share or disclose your non-private, aggregated or otherwise non-personal information, such as your public messages or the number of Users who clicked on a particular link (even if none or only one did).
If You are a registered User of our Services, we provide You the option of requesting changes to the personal information You provided to us and associated with your account. We may deny or limit an update to your information if we believe it to be inaccurate, misleading or otherwise detrimental to the trust shared by Users.
We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. The most current version of the policy will govern our use of your information and will always be at kindren.com/legal/privacy/. If we make a change to this policy that, in our sole discretion, is material, we may notify You via an @kindren update or e-mail to the email associated with your account. By continuing to access or make use of the Services after those changes become effective, You agree to be bound by the revised Privacy Policy.
