Global Privacy Policy

At Kibibit (hereinafter, "Kibibit," "Company," "we," or "us"), we respect and protect the privacy of visitors to our website, www.kibibit.in. This Global Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information of our website visitors. By accessing or using our website, you signify your acceptance of the practices described in this Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this Policy, you should discontinue use of our website immediately. We comply with applicable global privacy laws, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), among others. This Policy is intended to meet those requirements for users around the world. If you are a resident of the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, Switzerland, California, or other regions with specific data privacy laws, please note that additional rights or provisions may apply to you, as described below.

1.1 Definition

In this Policy, "Personal Information" means any information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person (also known as "personal data" under some laws). In other words, it is information that can be used to identify you, directly or indirectly. Personal Information includes obvious data like your name or email, but also things like IP addresses or device identifiers when they can be linked to you. Personal Information does not include data that has been de-identified or aggregated so that it can no longer be linked to any specific individual. We may use such de-identified data (which is not Personal Information) to understand trends and improve our services without further notice. Except as described in this Policy, Kibibit will not give, sell, rent, or loan any Personal Information to any third party.

2.1 Information You Provide to Us

We collect the Personal Information you provide directly to us. For example, when you contact us (through a form, email, or phone) with inquiries about our company or services, we may ask for information such as your name, email address, company/organization, phone number, or other contact details. If you correspond with us, we may also collect the contents of messages or any information you choose to give us. We use the Personal Information you provide to respond to your inquiries, provide information about our services, and communicate with you. For instance, we use your contact information to respond to inquiries, provide support, send updates about our services, or deliver marketing communications (where permitted by applicable law and with your consent). We may also use this information for internal research and to improve user experience on our website. Kibibit does not send unsolicited communications asking for sensitive Personal Information via email. We will never email you asking for financial information. If you receive an email that looks like it's from us requesting such details, please inform us at our contact email as it may be fraudulent.

2.2 Information from Third Parties

We may receive certain information about you from third parties or share your information with third-party service providers, in the following situations: Service Providers: Kibibit uses third-party companies to support our website's operations. This includes services such as website hosting, data storage, customer relationship management, and analytics (e.g., Google Analytics). These providers may process Personal Information on our behalf as needed to perform their functions. We contractually require all service providers to only use Personal Information for the purposes of providing services to us and to protect it in accordance with applicable law. Business Transfers: If we ever share information about you with a partner or affiliate (for example, in the context of referring you to a local distributor or for joint marketing activities), we will do so only with appropriate safeguards and, where required, with your consent. Kibibit does not sell your Personal Information to third parties for their own use. We may share information with third parties only as described in this Policy or with your consent.

2.3 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Like most websites, we and our analytics providers use cookies and similar tracking technologies to automatically collect certain information about your device and usage of our website. Cookies are small data files stored on your browser or device that help websites remember information about your visit. What we collect automatically: When you visit kibibit.in, our systems (or third-party tools like Google Analytics) may collect technical information such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, the referring webpage, pages visited on our site, the dates/times of access, and clickstream data. How we use this information: We use information collected via cookies and similar technologies to improve and customize your experience, for analytics, and to support our website. For example, this information helps us remember your preferences, measure site usage, diagnose technical issues, and improve security. At present, Kibibit's use of cookies is primarily for functionality and analytics, rather than advertising. You can adjust your browser settings to refuse or delete cookies. Note, however, that if you disable cookies, some features of our website may not function properly.

3.1 Third-Party Sites

Our website may contain links to websites or services that are operated by third parties (for example, links to our partners' sites, or references in our blog posts). Please be aware that this Policy applies only to information collected by Kibibit on our website, and not to any third-party websites or services that you may access through external links. We do not control the privacy practices of third-party sites. If you click a link to another website or service, the privacy policy of that third party will apply to any information you provide or that is collected by that site. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites or services you visit. Kibibit is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of external sites, even if linked from our website.

4.1 Public Content

Kibibit may offer blogs or social media pages that are publicly accessible. If you choose to post content in a public area of our website (e.g., blog comments) or on our social media pages, any Personal Information you submit can be read, collected, or used by others. We strongly advise you not to share sensitive Personal Information in any posts or content you make public. If you wish to remove personal information that you posted publicly on our website, you can contact us to request removal. We will attempt to remove the information upon request, but please note that we cannot guarantee complete removal.

4.2 Customer Testimonials

From time to time, we may post customer testimonials, case studies, or reviews on our website or marketing materials. We will always obtain the customer's consent before including Personal Information (such as a name or photo) in a testimonial. If you have provided us with a testimonial and wish to update or delete it, please contact us and we will accommodate your request if possible.

5.1 Security Measures

Kibibit is committed to protecting the security of your Personal Information. We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to secure the information we collect and maintain. These measures include, for example, firewall protection, encryption of data in transit (we use SSL/TLS for our website to encrypt information you submit), and access controls to restrict who within our company can access Personal Information. While we strive to use acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security. You should take care in deciding what information you send us electronically. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please immediately notify us using the contact information below.

6.1 International Transfers

Kibibit is based in India, and our servers and service providers may be located in India, the United States, or other countries. This means that your Personal Information may be transferred to, stored, or processed in a jurisdiction different from your home country. By using our website, you understand and consent that your information may be transferred internationally. These countries may have data protection laws that are different (and potentially less protective) from the laws of your own country. However, whenever we transfer Personal Information out of its country of origin, we take steps to ensure it remains protected. For example, for personal data originating from the EU/EEA or UK that is transferred to us or our third-party processors in a country not deemed "adequate" by the European Commission, we will use appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or other lawful transfer mechanisms to protect that data. Kibibit will remain liable for the handling of your Personal Information by any third-party agents or service providers that process it on our behalf, unless we prove we are not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.

7.1 Your Control Options

You have certain choices and rights regarding the Personal Information you provide to us: Declining to Provide Information: You are free to not share certain Personal Information with us. However, please understand that if you choose not to provide data that is necessary to address your inquiries (for example, withholding contact information required to respond to a request), we may not be able to fully assist you. Marketing Communications: If you have subscribed to our newsletter or are receiving promotional emails from us, you can opt out at any time. To stop receiving marketing emails, click the "unsubscribe" link in any promotional message, or contact us with your request. Once we process your opt-out request, we will remove you from our marketing list. Cookies & Analytics: You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. You may also use browser extensions or tools to limit tracking. For example, Google offers a Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on that you can install to prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics. Please be aware that if you opt out of certain data uses, we may be unable to provide some services to you. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy choices, but some functionality may be limited by necessity.

8.1 Data Accuracy

We want to ensure that your Personal Information is accurate and up to date. If you wish to request changes to data you have provided to us, you may contact us to update or delete your information. For instance, if you want to change the email address we have on file for newsletters, or if you wish to have us delete your contact info that you previously provided, you can send us a request at our contact email. We will respond to such requests in accordance with applicable law.

9.1 How Long We Keep Your Data

Kibibit will retain your Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. In general, we retain Personal Information for the duration of our relationship with you (for example, as long as we are corresponding about our services) and for a reasonable period thereafter. We may also retain certain information for longer if required for legal, tax, or regulatory reasons, or for legitimate business purposes such as fraud prevention, record-keeping, or dispute resolution. When Personal Information is no longer needed, we will either delete it or anonymize it in accordance with our data retention policies.

We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children's Internet usage and to help enforce this Policy by instructing minors never to provide Personal Information through our services without permission. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected Personal Information from a child under 13 (or under the relevant age threshold) without proper consent, we will take steps to delete that information as soon as possible. If you believe that a child under the age of 13 may have provided us with Personal Information, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.
