Privacy Policy
Koowall, Inc. (“Koowall”) knows that
you care about how your personal information is used and shared, and we take
your privacy seriously. Please read
the following to learn more about our privacy policy. By visiting the koowall.com website and
domain name, and any other linked pages, features, content, or application
services offered from time to time by Koowall in connection therewith
(collectively, the "Website"), or using any of our services, you
acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy
Policy.
What Does This Privacy Policy Cover?
This Privacy Policy covers Koowall’s
treatment of personally identifiable information ("Personal
Information") that Koowall gathers when you access the Website and when
you use Koowall’s services. This
policy does not apply to the practices of companies that Koowall does not own
or control, or to individuals that Koowall does not employ or manage.
What Personal Information Does Koowall
Collect?
The information we gather from
customers enables us to personalize and improve our services. We collect the
following types of information from our customers:
Personal Information
You Provide to Us:
We receive and store any information
you enter on our Website or provide to us in any other way. The types of Personal Information
collected include your full name, email address, physical address and/or location
information, IP address, browser information, username, password, birthday,
demographic information, Facebook, Twitter & Tumblr identifiers and any
other information necessary for us to provide our services. You can choose not
to provide us with certain information, but then you may not be able to take
advantage of many of our special features.
The Personal Information you provide is used for such purposes as
answering questions, sending product updates, and communicating with you about
Koowall’s products and services, including specials and new features.
Personal Information
Collected Automatically:
We receive and store certain types of
information whenever you interact with our Website or use our services. Koowall automatically receives and
records information on our server logs from your browser including your IP
address, cookie information, and the page you requested.
Generally, our service automatically
collects usage information, such as the numbers and frequency of visitors to
our Website and how users use and interact with its components, similar to TV
ratings that indicate how many people watched a particular show. Koowall only uses this data in aggregate
form, that is, as a statistical measure, and not in a manner that would
identify you personally. This type
of aggregate data enables us to figure out how often customers use parts of the
Website or services so that we can make the Website appealing to as many
customers as possible, and improve those services. As part of this use of information, we
may provide aggregate information to our partners about how our customers,
collectively, use our Website or services.
We share this type of statistical data so that our partners also
understand how often people use the Website or services, so that they, too, may
provide you with an optimal online experience. Again, Koowall never discloses
aggregate information to a partner in a manner that would identify you
personally.
E-mail
Communications:
We often receive a confirmation when
you open an email from Koowall if your computer supports this type of program.
Koowall uses this confirmation to help us make emails more interesting and
helpful. We also compare our
customer list to lists received from other companies, in an effort to avoid
sending unnecessary messages to our customers. When you receive e-mail from Koowall,
you can opt out of receiving further e-mails by following the included
instructions to unsubscribe.
What About Cookies?
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers
that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your browser to enable
our systems to recognize your browser and tell us how and when pages in our
site are visited and by how many people.
We use cookies to enhance visitors’ experiences, to learn more about
their use of the Website and to improve quality.
Most browsers have an option for
turning off the cookie feature, which will prevent your browser from accepting
new cookies, as well as (depending on the sophistication of your browser
software) allowing you to decide on acceptance of each new cookie in a variety
of ways. We strongly recommend that
you leave the cookies activated, however, because cookies enable you to take
advantage of some of our Website’s most attractive features.
Ads appearing on the Website may be
delivered to users by our advertising partners, who may set cookies. These
cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you
an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your
computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver
targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This
Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Koowall and does not cover the use
of cookies by any advertisers.
Will Koowall Share Any of the Personal
Information it Receives?

customers is an integral part of our business. We neither rent nor sell your Personal

your Personal Information only as described below.

variety of businesses and work closely with them. In certain situations, these businesses
may sell items to you through the Website.

your transaction, and we will share your Personal Information that is related
to such transactions with that affiliated business.

other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf and need to share
