Kentik, Inc. (“Kentik”, or “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects the importance of the privacy of users and visitors to our web site, including any services we make available through our web site (“Site”). We have created this Privacy Policy to inform users and visitors about the information that is gathered when you use the Site, and how that information is used, maintained and, in some cases, shared. This Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference into the Kentik Terms of Use (the “Terms”).
BY USING OR ACCESSING IN ANY WAY THE SITE AND/OR OUR SERVICES AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SITE, OR BY TRANSMITTING INFORMATION TO US BY EMAIL OR OTHER ELECTRONIC MEANS, YOU AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE SITE OR SERVICES.
INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE
We may collect certain personally-identifiable information from you as follows:
INFORMATION SHARING AND DISCLOSURE
(a) comply with the law or respond to lawful requests or legal process; (b) protect the rights or property of Kentik, its providers, suppliers and licensors or other clients or third parties; (c) respond to your requests; (d) to enforce our policies or contracts; (e) to collect amounts owed to us; or (f) act on a good faith belief that such access or disclosure is necessary to protect the personal safety of Kentik, its providers, suppliers and licensors or other clients or third parties, or otherwise necessary or advisable.
USE OF SITE. As is true of most websites, Kentik and our service providers may observe your activities on the Site and gather certain information automatically when you visit the Site, such as internet protocol (IP) addresses, Site pages visited, and clickstream data. We and our service providers use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the Site and services, to track users’ movements around the Site and services, to gather demographic information about our user base in aggregate, and for marketing research purposes. Unless we notify you otherwise, we do not link this automatically-collected data to personally identifiable information.
THIRD PARTY SITES AND SOCIAL MEDIA FEATURES. The Site contains links to third party sites and certain social media features (such as the Facebook Like button) that are not owned or controlled by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites or your interaction with such sites or features. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our Site and to read the privacy statements of every website that collects personally identifiable information.
SECURITY. The security of your personal information is important to us. When you enter your personal information to our Site using our provided forms and Site pages, we use industry standard encryption designed to safely deliver your details. Kentik follows generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. While we cannot, therefore, guarantee the absolute security of anything transmitted via the Internet, you may take comfort in knowing that Kentik uses commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information. If you have any questions about security on our Site, you are always welcome to contact us at security@kentik.com.
ACCOUNT INFORMATION & RETENTION. You may update, correct or delete information about you at any time by logging into your online account and modifying your information or by emailing us at privacy@kentik.com. We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice. If you wish to deactivate your account, please email us at privacy@kentik.com, but note that we may retain certain information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes. We may also retain cached or archived copies of information about you for a certain period. We will respond to your access request within 45 days.
We will retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. We will retain and use your information to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements. We will retain personal data we process on behalf of our customers as directed by paying customers. Kentik will retain this personal information as necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Upon request, Kentik will provide you with information about whether we hold, or process on behalf of a third party, any of your personal information that we are aware of. To request this information, contact us at privacy@kentik.com.
BUSINESS TRANSITION. If Kentik goes through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, your personally identifiable information will likely be among the assets transferred. Kentik does not guarantee that any entity receiving such information in connection with one of these transactions will comply with all terms of this policy.
CONSENT TO TRANSFER AND PROCESSING. Personal information collected through the Site and/or its services may be stored and processed in the United States or in any other country in which Kentik or its providers (or its or their affiliates or providers) maintain facilities. By using the Site and/or its services, you consent to any such transfer and processing of information outside of your country.

Where you have consented to Kentik’s processing of your personally identifiable information, you may withdraw that consent at any time and opt-out to further processing by contacting privacy@kentik.com. Even if you opt-out, we may still collect and use non-personally identifiable information regarding your activities on our Site and/or information from the advertisements on third party websites for non-interest-based advertising purposes, such as to determine the effectiveness of the advertisements.
If you receive an unwanted email from us, you can use the unsubscribe link found at the bottom of the email to opt-out of receiving future emails. We will process your request within a reasonable time after receipt. Note that you will continue to receive transaction-related emails regarding products or services you have requested.

Do Not Track (”DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. DNT is a way for users to inform websites and services that they do not want certain information about their webpage visits collected over time and across websites or online services. Please note that we do not respond to or honor DNT signals or similar mechanisms transmitted by web browsers.
CHILDREN’S PRIVACY. If you are under the age of 13, please do not use or access the Site or services in any way.
