​
What Does This Privacy Policy Cover?
In Short: This Privacy Policy covers the treatment of Personal Information gathered when you are using or accessing our Services.
We are committed to protecting your Personal Information and your right to privacy. Throughout this Privacy Policy, "Personal Information" means any information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked with an individual or household. These include information such as full name, postal address, e-mail address and/or telephone number, and if applicable usage data such as your IP address. Such is the data we collect (hereafter "PI") when you visit the Services.
Here we seek to explain to you in the clearest way possible what PI we collect, how we use it and what rights you have in relation to it. We hope you take some time to read through it carefully, as it is important. If there are any terms in this Privacy Policy that you do not agree with, please discontinue use of our Services. Otherwise, if you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy, or our practices with regards to your PI, please contact our Privacy Officer at info@eatkomi.com.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully as it will help you make informed decisions about sharing your PI with us.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that we do not own or control (each a "Third Party Service Provider") that you elect to access through our Services or to individuals that we do not manage or employ. While we attempt to facilitate access only to those Third Party Service Providers that share our respect for your privacy, we cannot take responsibility for the content or privacy policies of those Third Party Service Providers. We encourage you to carefully review the privacy policies of any Third Party Service Providers you access.
That said, we do exchange PI with our Service Providers. "Service Providers" are defined as companies or organizations with whom we have a contractual relationship in connection with fulfilling our Services to you (our "Service Providers").
What Information Do We Collect Automatically from You?
In Short: Some information – such as IP address and/or browser and device characteristics – is collected automatically when you use our Services.
We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use or navigate the Services that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked with you or your household. This information may not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, information about how and when you use our Services and other technical information. This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our Services, and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes.
The technologies we use for this automatic data collection may include:
Cookies (or Browser Cookies). "Cookies" are small text files that are placed on your device by a Web server when you access our Services. We may use both session Cookies and persistent Cookies to tell us how and when you interact with the Services. We may also use Cookies to monitor aggregate usage and web traffic routing on our Services and to customize and improve the Services. Unlike persistent Cookies, session Cookies are deleted when you navigate away from the Services and close your browser. Although most browsers automatically accept Cookies, you can change your browser options to stop automatically accepting Cookies or to prompt you before accepting Cookies. Please note, however, that if you don't accept Cookies, you may not be able to access all portions or features of the Services.
Some Service Providers that we engage (including advertisers) may also place their own Cookies on your device. Note that this Privacy Policy covers only our use of Cookies and does not include use of Cookies by any Third Party Service Provider you visit directly, each of which should have its own privacy policies.
Flash Cookies. Certain features of our Services may use local stored objects (or Flash cookies) to collect and store information about your preferences and navigation to, from, and on our Services. Flash cookies are not managed by the same browser settings as are used for Browser Cookies.
Web Beacons. Pages of our Services and our e-mails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit us, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an email and for other related Services statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain Services content and verifying system and server integrity).
What Information Is Collected from Other Sources?
In Short: We may collect limited data from our Service Providers, public databases, marketing partners, and other outside sources.
We may obtain PI about you from other sources, such as public databases, from our Service Providers, and other Third Party Service Providers. Such Third Party Service Providers are neither part of our Services nor a Service Provider with whom we have a contractual relationship. All PI that you provide on or to such Third Party Service Provider or that is collected is provided directly to the controller, owner or operator of said Third Party Service Provider and is subject to the owner's or operator's privacy policy. We do not monitor or control any data you provide to Third Party Service Providers. To that end, we are not responsible for the content, privacy or security practices of a Third Party Service Provider. To assure the protection of your PI, we recommend that you carefully review the privacy policies of any Third Party Service Provider you access, as you assume the risk of providing any information to said provider.
