Like most website operators, The Kalab Network collects non-personally-identifying information that browsers and servers typically make available, such as browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. This helps us understand how visitors use the site. From time to time we may release this information in aggregate, for example by publishing a report on usage trends.

We also collect potentially personally-identifying information, such as IP addresses, for logged-in users and for users leaving comments on blog posts. IP addresses are only disclosed under the same circumstances described in this policy for personally-identifying information generally.

Some visitors choose to interact with The Kalab Network in ways that require us to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information gathered depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, visitors who sign up for a blog account are asked to provide a username and email address.

The security of your personal information matters to us, though no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

The site uses SSL certificates and HTTPS. HTTPS encrypts communications between your browser and the site using Transport Layer Security (TLS, formerly known as SSL), which relies on an asymmetric public key infrastructure to secure the exchange.

Ads appearing on the site may be delivered by advertising partners, who may set their own cookies. These cookies let ad servers recognise your device and compile information used to deliver targeted advertising. This policy covers cookies set by The Kalab Network and does not cover cookies set by advertisers directly.

Our site may contain links to external sites we do not operate. If you click a third-party link, you’ll be directed to that site. We strongly advise reviewing the privacy policy and terms of every site you visit. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party site.

We disclose personally-identifying information only to contractors and affiliated organisations that need it to provide services on our behalf, and that have agreed not to disclose it further. Some of these parties may be located outside your home country; by using the site, you consent to that transfer. We do not rent or sell this information to anyone. Beyond contractors and affiliates, we disclose it only in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental request, or where we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect our property or rights, or those of third parties or the public.

If you’re a registered user and have supplied your email address, we may occasionally email you about new features or to request feedback. We primarily use our blog for this type of communication, so we expect to keep such emails to a minimum. If you contact us directly, for example via a support email, we reserve the right to publish that request to help clarify our response or support other users. We take reasonable measures to protect against unauthorised access, use, alteration, or destruction of your information.

We may collect statistics about visitor behaviour on the site and may display this information publicly or provide it to others. We do not disclose your personally-identifying information as part of this.

We use cookies and similar technologies, including services provided by others, to display personalised content and appropriate advertising and to store your preferences. A cookie is a string of information a website stores on your device, which your browser returns to the site on each visit. We use cookies to identify and track visitors, their use of the site, and their access preferences.

If you’d prefer not to have cookies placed on your device, set your browser to refuse them before using the site, though some features may not function properly as a result. By continuing to browse without changing your cookie settings, you acknowledge and agree to this use of cookies.

Visitors who purchase services or products from us are asked to provide additional information, including the personal and financial details necessary to process the transaction. We collect only what’s necessary to fulfil that interaction, and visitors may always decline to provide it, with the caveat that doing so may prevent certain activities on the site.

Payment processors we use (such as Stripe and PayPal) adhere to the PCI Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Customer data may also be shared with Zoho Corp and relevant affiliates for CRM and invoicing purposes.

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personally-identifying information to others. We may share generic, aggregated demographic information that isn’t linked to any individual with business partners, trusted affiliates, and advertisers for the purposes described in this policy.

We may use third-party service providers to help operate the business and the site, such as sending newsletters or surveys, and may share your information with them for those limited purposes, provided you’ve given us permission (for example, if you pay via PayPal, your details are shared with PayPal to complete that transaction). Your information may also be shared with third-party providers such as invoicing platforms, payment processors, or project management tools, solely to conduct business and deliver services. These providers are required to keep your information confidential and secure in line with applicable privacy laws.

Our site may contain links to websites operated by third parties. Unless expressly stated otherwise, we don’t control, endorse, or approve of, and aren’t responsible for, the content on those websites. You should make your own assessment of the suitability of any third-party site before using it.

Most changes to this policy are likely to be minor, but we may update it from time to time at our sole discretion. We encourage visitors to check this page periodically for changes. Continued use of the site after any change constitutes acceptance of that change.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools and technologies to assist with certain aspects of our services, website operations, content creation, administration, customer support, analytics, or other business processes.

Where AI tools are used to process personal information, we take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is handled appropriately and in accordance with applicable privacy laws. We do not intentionally provide AI systems with personal information beyond what is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

AI-generated content may be reviewed, edited, or verified by a human before being relied upon or published. AI systems can produce inaccurate or incomplete information, and we do not guarantee that AI-generated outputs will always be accurate.

We may use third-party AI service providers. Where applicable, information provided to these providers may be subject to their own privacy policies and terms of service. We take reasonable steps to select providers and configure services in a manner consistent with our privacy obligations.

By using our website or services, you acknowledge that AI technologies may be used as described in this Privacy Policy.
