KAYRROS is careful about the personal information (i.e., all information that is about any individual, or from which any individual is identifiable) we may collect about our users (“You”) through the performance of our services, such as our website and application, as described below.

KAYRROS complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR (EU) 2016/679) and any national law within the European Union that is applicable to the protection of privacy and personal information.

The following Privacy Policy explains KAYRROS’s position regarding personal information protection, i.e., how we collect, store, process, transfer, share and use personal information. This Privacy Policy is part of our Terms of Use.

This information enables KAYRROS to provide and improve our services and to answer any query from its subscribers.

Please note that You are never compelled to provide your personal information to KAYRROS. However, if You decide not to provide us with your personal information, We might not be able to conclude a contractual relationship with You and to fulfill our contractual obligations towards You.

The personal information We collect about You will help us to perform our services for You and to send you e-mails about our services. It also may help us to improve our services in general (such as our website or application).

Your personal information will never be used by us for other purposes that are not explained in either this Privacy Policy or our Terms of Use.

If KAYRROS engages a third-party processor to process your personal information, We will enter into a data processing agreement with such third-party processor that will require it to: (i) only process the personal information in accordance with our prior written instructions; and (ii) take measures to protect the confidentiality and security of the personal information.

We may have to share your personal information with a law enforcement agency or court, to the extent necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal rights, or any relevant party for the purposes of prevention, investigation, detection or prosecution of criminal offenses or the execution of criminal penalties.

To that end, when We transfer your personal information to other countries, We do so, where required, on the basis of standard contractual clauses as approved by the European Commission.
