Privacy Policy

Kikliko, Inc. (“KLIPY”, “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to respecting the privacy of your personal information as a user of our application plugins, apps, and extensions (the “Apps”) or a visitor to our website (the “Site”) and the associated services, including the our services provided by us through third party offerings, such as social networks or messaging applications (our Apps, the Site and the associated services are collectively called the “Services”).  

 

This Privacy Policy explains what personal information KLIPY collects from users of its Services and how we may use that information and addresses related questions.  By registering for an online account with us, or using any of our Services, you agree and consent to this Privacy Policy. The KLIPY Terms of Service at https://klipy.com/support/terms-services  contain additional terms and conditions governing your use of the Services. 

 

Overview of the KLIPY Services

 

KLIPY provides Apps which users can use to insert GIFs and videos into documents, messages, posts and web pages, email clients or other ways of communication and messaging.  The KLIPY Apps may access information on your device in order to function, but that information is not transmitted to or collected by KLIPY, except as stated in this Privacy Policy.

 

KLIPY also provides Services to allow third party offerings such as social networks, messaging networks, and other applications to integrate Content into the messaging interfaces of those third party offerings, without separately installing a KLIPY App.

 

What Information Does KLIPY Collect About Me and Why?

 

If you use an App:

 

 

If you use our Service as part of a third party offering:

 

 

If you create, register, or log into an Account through our App or Site:

 

 

If you visit our Sites (whether or not you have created an Account):

 

 

What Happens to the Content that I Upload to KLIPY?

 

You may upload Content to KLIPY through the KLIPY Site.  When you upload Content, itis "Personal" and is initially stored on your KLIPY Profile and your Content will be available on any other devices using KLIPY Site or App. If you decide to add a tag or tags, title and description to your Content, that Content and the associated metadata, will be submitted to KLIPY for review and, if approved, will become part of the KLIPY Content library and "Published" for use by other users of the KLIPY Services. If you added a metadata to your Content prior to logging into your account, the Content, and the associated tags, will be automatically submitted to KLIPY upon logging into your account. Do not fill the Content metadata fields if you do not wish them to be Published and associated with your Account profile. When your Content is Published, it will be available to other users of the KLIPY Services, your username and other Account profile information except your email address will be displayed alongside the Content, and KLIPY users will be able to search for other Content you have uploaded based on your username. 

 

Content is not encrypted or hosted on a private URL, which means it is possible for others to figure out how to access your Content, even if Personal. Do not store any Content on KLIPY that you do not wish others to be able to access or which you do not wish others to be able to associate with you. 

 

Account Profiles

 

As part of our Services, Users may, including by Publishing User Content or creating published collections of Content, display their account profile to other Users and to the public.  We encourage you to use your good judgment about what you place in your Account profile and not to post any private or sensitive information. 

 

Does KLIPY Use Cookies or Collect Analytic Information About Me Or My Devices?

 

We use cookies, tracking pixels and similar technologies on our Sites, Apps and emails (including in Content)to collect and use information that helps us provide our Services to you.  Cookies are a feature of browsers that enable websites to store a small piece of data on your device when you visit them.  Tracking pixels are small graphic images embedded in email messages or in advertisements and sponsored content to track user interaction with email messages and to track views, actions and other performance statistics regarding advertising and sponsored content. 

 

We use cookies to remember your information and preferences so that you do not need to re-enter them (e.g., to remember whether you are logged in), to provide personalized content, and to help us provide the Services to you (such as the ability to submit feedback to us). We also use cookies and similar technologies to help us understand how you use the emails and Services, and whether and when you view GIFS/Videos, so that we can more effectively communicate with you and improve our offerings, and as described in the section below titled “Use of Information in Advertising”. These technologies can give us insights such as how you arrived at our Sites, how long you stayed and which pages you visited.  We use analytics technologies from third parties such as Google Analytics 4, Google Ads Conversion, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Microsoft Clarity, Reddit Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, Intercom..

 

You can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings on your web browser.  Major mobile operating systems also enable you to limit certain online functionality and data collection.  However, if you disable these functions, your experience with our offerings may be significantly limited.  If you choose not to receive tracking pixels in your emails, you will need to disable HTML images in your email program, but that may affect images in other emails you receive.

 

We may also collect advertising identifiers from your mobile device.  Advertising identifiers are resettable identifiers unique to your mobile device, and which are used in connection with advertising delivered to your mobile device. Examples of advertising identifiers include IDFA (developed by Apple for the iPhone) and Google Ad ID (developed by Google for Android). Advertising identifiers are used to provide targeted advertising and otherwise for the purposes described in the section below titled “Collection and Use of Advertising-related Information”. If you don’t want advertising identifiers to be used to provide targeted advertising to you, see the section below titled “Can I Opt Out of Targeted Advertising?”

 

Use of Information in Advertising

 

We may use the information we have collected in:

 

•  Measuring the performance of advertising campaigns and/or sponsored GIFs/Videos, whether displayed within our Services or through third party publishers, web sites, mobile applications, and other properties;  

•  Limiting the number of times a specific advertisement is presented to the same browser or mobile device (frequency capping); 

•  Creating customized performance reports (for example, how well a particular advertisement or sponsored GIF/Video is performing in a particular geographic region or among a particular demographic); and

•  Improving the targeting or relevance of advertising and/or sponsored GIFs/Videos to users; and

•  Providing non-personally identifiable information to our advertisers or content sponsors to report to them with respect any of the foregoing.

 

Can I Opt Out of Targeted Advertising?

 

We may use the Services to provide advertisements and/or sponsored GIFs/Videos that are likely to be more interesting and more relevant to users. One way we may do this is by collecting information related to users, which may include elements like the search terms you have provided to the Service, GIFs/Videos you have shared or viewed, preferences that you may have provided to us, advertising identifiers, or location information (i.e. GPS or Wi-Fi data if you have enabled those services).  We or our advertisers may also link an identifier to additional information from other partners to develop information about users’ likely interests.

If you wish to "opt out" of certain advertising targeted using the types of techniques described above, you have several choices:

 

• Visit www.networkadvertising.org/choices or www.aboutads.info/choices/. 

• Reset your mobile device’s advertising identifier or set it to opt out of targeted advertising.  

 

•  Android: You can reset your advertising ID at any time, right from the Ads section of the Google Settings app on your device. From the same app, you can also opt-out of targeted advertising based on the advertising ID by setting the appropriate ad tracking preference.

•  iOS: You can opt out of targeted advertising by electing Limit Ad Tracking in your device’s settings menu (as of the date of this Privacy Policy, located at Settings > Privacy > Advertising).

 

You should be aware that if you “opt out” it does not mean that you will no longer receive advertising. It just means that the advertising you see displayed will not be customized to you and your interests and may be less relevant to you. Also, opting out of targeted advertising using one of the methods above will only affect the specific browser or device on which you opt out. Further, for browser-based methods, you will lose the opt-out if you clear your cookies.

 

Do Not Track

 

Some web browsers may transmit “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is currently no uniform industry standard for recognizing or responding to Do Not Track signals, our Site does not currently respond to Do Not Track browser signals.  Third party service providers we have engaged may use cookies to collect your personal information or online activities over time and across different web sites. For more information regarding Do Not Track mechanisms, see http://allaboutdnt.com/.

 

Where required by applicable law, we honor legally recognized opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information.

 

Will KLIPY Contact Me?

 

If you have provided us with your email address, from time to time, we may want to contact you by email with information about product announcements, software updates and offers. By accepting this Privacy Policy, you accept our offer to send you these emails. You may opt-out of such communications at any time by following the instructions within our emails.

We may send you certain service, support and administrative notices, even if you have opted-out from promotional emails. Also, we may contact you in response to your request.

 

How We Disclose Personal Information

 

We disclose personal information only as described in this Privacy Policy, including to service providers, integration partners, advertising or measurement partners where applicable, legal authorities where required, parties involved in business transfers, and others with your permission.

 

•  If you upload User Content to our systems to be Published or otherwise shared with another user of our Service or if you Publish Content Collections, your Account name and profile will be associated with the User Content you upload, will be visible to anyone who views the User Content you have uploaded, and may be visible to the public.  In addition to any information you may elect to place in your Account profile, your Account profile will also include certain information regarding your use of the Service, including but not limited to Content collections you have Published, number of other Users you follow, and the number of Users who follow you.

 

•  We need to share your information with our service providers or our affiliated companies in order to provide and distribute the Apps and their functions, the Sites, our other Services, and related services and support; to complete billing and payment for them; or to collect information and communicate with you as described above.

 

•  We determine that we need to comply with any law, regulation or order, such as a subpoena, court order or search warrant, or to apply or enforce our terms of service or other agreements or protect the rights, property and personal safety of our users, visitors, company, or others. 

 

•  We do so in connection with the transfer, sale, merger or reorganization of all or any relevant portion of our business or assets to or with any third party.

 

•  We have your explicit permission or opt-in to share your information.

 

Accessing and Controlling Information that KLIPY Has About Me

 

If you are a registered user, you can access Personal Data associated with your Account by logging into our Services. 

 

You can use many of the features of our Services without registering, thereby limiting the type of Personal Data that we collect. You can also opt not to provide certain Personal Data to us, but please note that such information may be needed to take advantage of some of our features.

 

Registered and unregistered users can both access and delete cookies through their web browser settings.

 

If you would like to correct any personal information that we hold about you, you may update your information in the user settings of your online Account (to the extent that functionality is available) or email us per “How Can I Contact KLIPY?” below.  For marketing emails, you may also follow the instructions in the email to opt-out.

 

Deleting Your Account

 

You may delete the account from account settings in your KLIPY profile. If you delete your Account, you will not be able to access or change the personal information we store through your Account.

How Long Do We Retain Your Personal Information?

 

We retain personal information about you for as long as you have an open Account with us or as otherwise necessary to provide you Services.  In some cases, we retain personal information for longer, if doing so is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes or collect fees owed, or is otherwise permitted or required by applicable law, rule, or regulation. Afterwards, we retain some information in a depersonalized or aggregated form, but not in a way that would identify you personally.

 

Where is My Information Stored?

 

Through your use of the Services, you may be transferring your personal information to data centers outside of your country or jurisdiction for storage and use in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and you consent to that transfer.

 

How Secure is My Information with KLIPY?

 

Protecting the security of your information is important to us. We use commercially reasonable actions to protect your information, including security measures in the Services to prevent loss, misuse, and alteration of your information. However, we cannot assure against any such loss, misuse, or alteration. The security of information stored locally on your device depends on your use of security functionality on that device. So, we recommend that you protect against unauthorized access to your passwords and devices.

 

What if this Privacy Policy Changes?

 

Changes in our products and services, our business and laws may require us to change this Privacy Policy. We may change this Privacy Policy by posting a revised version on the Sites and/or an update in the Apps, and/or by sending information regarding the change to your e-mail address in our records. We suggest that you regularly review the Apps and/or Sites to learn about any changes. By continuing to use the Services after such changes have been posted or sent to you means that you agree to such changes. If you do not agree to such changes, you may stop all access and use of the Services.

When Would Other Privacy Policies Apply?

 

The Apps, Sites and content in or on them may contain links to other sites and resources controlled by third parties or may need you to install third party functionality. Also, as discussed above, the KLIPY Apps or Services may allow you to integrate GIFs and Videos into the messaging interfaces of third party services. We do not control the privacy practices or content of any third party other sites, services, resources or functionality, and you should consult the privacy statements of those third parties.
