Privacy Policy

Introduction

Your privacy is very important to Kloudless, Inc. ("Kloudless", or "we", "us", or "our"). This privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") applies to the Kloudless Websites (kloudless.com, developers.kloudless.com, api.kloudless.com, and kloudl.es, and any sub-domains), products, and services, and describes how personal information is collected, used, disclosed, and protected by Kloudless. For convenience, the Kloudless Websites and our services are collectively referred to as the "Service". The exception to this is if you are part of an organization that has a separate written agreement with Kloudless covering the use of our Service in which case any terms in that agreement describing how Kloudless handles your personal information take precedence.

Kloudless' Service and Customer Services Data

Customers and registered users of the Service ("Customers") use the Service to connect Customer applications and services ("Customer Services") to their users' third-party accounts ("End-User Accounts") and transfer data ("Customer Services Data") between the Service and End-User Accounts.

Customer Services Data may include, without limitation, personal data and information about the identity of Customer users, such as email addresses, names, phone numbers, postal addresses, IP addresses, age, and actions they take while using Customer Services. In addition to reviewing this Privacy Policy, please refer to our Customers' policies for information regarding their collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information. Our use of Customer Services Data provided by our Customers in connection with our Service is subject to the written agreement between Kloudless and the Customer.

If you are using Kloudless as a sub-processor, please contact us for our Data Processing Agreement to accept it if applicable.

Personal Information Collected

We collect information from you in various ways when you use our Service, including Customer Services Data described above. We may also supplement this information with information from other companies. As used in this Privacy Policy, the term 'personal information' means information that specifically identifies an individual (such as, but not limited to, a name, email address, or IP address), and demographic and other information when directly or indirectly linked to information that can identify an individual.

Information you give us

The following are the specific types of information you give to us. We collect information you give us on our Service and when you register for and use our Service.

Registration information — When you register to use our service, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, postal address, and IP address. You may log into your Kloudless account to access our services using third-party sign-in functionality such as via your Google or GitHub account. This feature uses those services' application programming interfaces (API) to authenticate your identity and automatically share certain personal information with us like your name and email. We use similar methods to connect your cloud service accounts.

Third-party connected accounts — All policies that apply to End-User Accounts also apply to any third-party accounts of your own that you connect to the Service. Please refer to our Data Processing Agreement for more information on how we handle this data.

Payment and Transaction Information — If you choose to use a paid Kloudless account or service, our payment-processing vendor, Stripe, directly collects your credit card information and billing address. We never receive this information. Stripe commits to complying with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) and using industry-standard security. Stripe may use your Payment Information in accordance with its own Privacy Policy here: https://stripe.com/us/privacy. Kloudless also receives transaction information on details of your purchase and billing details such as the last four digits of a credit card number and billing address.

Feedback and correspondence — Information you provide when you respond to surveys, report a problem with the Service, receive customer support, let us know how you use the Service, or otherwise correspond with us.

We collect this information in server logs, and by using Cookies and similar tracking technologies to analyze trends, administer the website, track users' movements around the website, gather demographic information about our user base as a whole, and deliver advertising.

Kloudless uses Cookies, small text files that store settings, to improve your user experience. Cookies remember your preferences and personalize the content so it is more relevant to you. You can update your Cookie preferences from our main site, or use third-party browser extensions to block Cookies you would not prefer, although it may adversely affect your use of the Service.

Here are the different categories of Cookies we use:

Essential — Kloudless uses browser cookies that are necessary for the site to work as intended. For example, we store your cookie preferences so we can honor them when you return to the site.
