To Whom We May Disclose Your Personal Information

Your information may be used by Kin’s and all of its related companies. We will never pass your personal data to anyone else, except for any successors to our business and the organizations that process data on our behalf. We may also use and disclose information in the aggregate (so that no individual customers are identified) for marketing programs, advertisers, and partners.

Kin’s may display targeted advertisements based on personal information. Kin’s does not provide any individual personal information to the advertiser when you interact with or view a targeted ad. Advertisers (including ad serving companies) may, however, assume that people who interact with, view, or click targeted ads meet the targeting criteria—for example, women ages 18-24 from a particular geographic area.

Legal Disclaimer

We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of Kin’s terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.

Other Websites

Kin’s website may contain links to other websites which are outside Kin’s control and are, therefore, not covered by this Privacy Policy. If you access other sites using the links provided, the operators of these sites may collect information from you which will be used by them in accordance with their privacy policy, which may differ from ours.

Security and Retention of Your Personal Information

The security of your personal information is very important to us. When you enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number) on our order forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). Once we receive the data it is immediately re-encrypted prior to storage. By default, payment card data is permanently destroyed within 91 days of submission.

Kin’s follows generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted by you, both during transmission and upon Kin’s receipt. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while Kin’s strives to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Changes in this Privacy Statement

Kin’s reserves the right to modify this privacy statement at any time, so please review it frequently. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here.
