KooBits processes personal information only for the purposes described in this Privacy
Policy including:
● Providing our services, including the display of customized content and advertising,
and the recommendation of resources to our users;
● Auditing, research and analysis in order to maintain, protect and improve our
services;
● Ensuring the technical functionality of our network;

● Developing new services.
KooBits processes personal information on our servers in The Republic of Singapore
and in other countries. In some cases, we process personal information on a server
which may be outside your own country. We may process personal information to provide
our own services. In some cases, we may process personal information on behalf of
and according to the instructions of a third party, such as our advertising partners.
Option to opt out
When you sign up for our service, you will be asked to provide personal information.
If we use this information in a manner other than the purpose for which it was collected,
then we will ask for your consent prior to such use.
If we propose to use personal information for any purposes other than those described
in this Privacy Policy and/or in the specific service privacy notices, we will offer
you an effective way to opt out of the use of your personal information for those
other purposes. We will not collect or use sensitive information for purposes other
than those described in this Privacy Policy, unless we have obtained your prior
consent.
Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can reset your browser
to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some
KooBits Product features may not function properly if your cookies are disabled.
You can decline to submit personal information to any of our services, in which
case KooBits may not be able to provide those services to you.
Information sharing
KooBits only shares personal information with other companies or individuals outside
of KooBits in the following limited circumstances:
• We have your consent. We require opt-in consent for the sharing of any sensitive
personal information.
• We provide such information to our subsidiaries, affiliated companies or other
trusted businesses or persons for the purpose of processing personal information
on our behalf. We require that these parties agree to process such information based
on our instructions and in compliance with this Privacy Policy and any other appropriate
confidentiality and security measures.
• We have a good faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of such
information is reasonably necessary to (a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation,
legal process or enforceable governmental request, (b) enforce applicable Terms
of Service, including investigation of potential violations thereof, (c) detect,
prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, or (d) protect
against harm to the rights, property or safety of KooBits, its users or the public
as required or permitted by law.
If KooBits becomes involved in a merger, acquisition, or any form of sale of some
or all of its assets, we will ensure the confidentiality of any personal information
involved in such transactions and provide notice before personal information is
transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
We may share with third parties certain pieces of aggregated, non-personal information,
such as the number of users who searched for a particular term, for example, or
how many users clicked on a particular item. Such information does not identify
you individually.
Information security
We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to
or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data. These include internal
reviews of our data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures,
as well as physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems
where we store personal data.
We restrict access to personal information to KooBits employees, contractors and
agents who need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve
our services. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may
be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they
fail to meet these obligations.
Data integrity
KooBits processes personal information only for the purposes for which it was collected
and in accordance with this Privacy Policy or any applicable service-specific privacy
notice. We review our data collection, storage and processing practices to ensure
that we only collect, store and process the personal information needed to provide
or improve our services or as otherwise permitted under this criminal prosecution,
if they fail to meet these obligations.
Data integrity
KooBits processes personal information only for the purposes for which it was collected
and in accordance with this Privacy Policy or any applicable service-specific privacy
notice. We review our data collection, storage and processing practices to ensure
that we only collect, store and process the personal information needed to provide
or improve our services or as otherwise permitted under this Policy. We take reasonable
steps to ensure that the personal information we process is accurate, complete,
and current, but we depend on our users to update or correct their personal information
whenever necessary.
Accessing and updating personal information
When you use KooBits services, we make good faith efforts to provide you with access
to your personal information and either to correct this data if it is inaccurate
or to delete such data at your request if it is not otherwise required to be retained
by law or for legitimate business purposes. We ask individual users to identify
themselves and the information requested to be accessed, corrected or removed before
processing such requests, and we may decline to process requests that are unreasonably
repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize
the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests
concerning information residing on backup tapes), or for which access is not otherwise
required. In any case where we provide information access and correction, we perform
this service free of charge, except if doing so would require a disproportionate
effort. Some of our services have different procedures to access, correct or delete
users’ personal information. We provide the details for these procedures in the
specific privacy notices or FAQs for these services.

When we receive formal written complaints at this address, it is KooBits’s policy
to contact the complaining user regarding his or her concerns. We will cooperate
with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including local data protection authorities,
to resolve any complaints regarding the transfer of personal data that cannot be
resolved between KooBits and an individual.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
Please note that this Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We will not reduce
your rights under this Privacy Policy without your explicit consent, and we expect
most such changes will be minor. Regardless, we will post any Privacy Policy changes
on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent
notice (including, for certain services, email notification of Privacy Policy changes).
Each version of this Privacy Policy will be identified at the top of the page by
its effective date, and we will also keep prior versions of this Privacy Policy
in an archive for your review.
