Knut Winkler Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which knutwinkler.com collects, uses, maintains, and discloses
information collected from users (each, a “User”) of the knutwinkler.com website (“Site.”) By viewing,
accessing, using, or browsing the Website, or by registering as a member of the Service (as defined
herein), you agree to this privacy policy and the Terms of Service of said web property as a binding legal
agreement between you and knutwinkler.com, without limitation or qualification.

 

Personal identification information

knutwinkler.com keeps track of non-personally identifiable information such as the IP address of the User’s
computer, time of access, browser type, and files downloaded to gather usage statistics for its website. IP
addresses are not associated with other information about a user but only indicate general visitor
navigation patterns. knutwinkler.com website has embedded tags that allow some third-party entities such as
Quantcast, Google Analytics, and/or similar services to collect non-personally identifiable usage statistics.

 

Submission and Processing of Information

When you subscribe or sign up to the Website, knutwinkler.com may ask you for certain personally
identifiable information. This personally identifiable information may include information that can be
used to identify or contact you, such as your name and email address. You must agree to the Terms of
Service of this website before making any comments or leaving any reviews on any posting.

 

User Postings

Except as otherwise expressly described in this Privacy Policy, this policy only addresses the use and
disclosure of Personal Information and other information we collect from you. In the course of your use
of the Website, including when you create a profile on the Website, you may elect to post or otherwise
disclose information about yourself and others, which may include Personal Information or other
personally identifiable information. You may also elect to communicate with others or upload content
such as photographs. Such postings are governed by our Terms of Service. Whenever you voluntarily
disclose personal information on publicly-viewable web pages, that information will be publicly available
and can be collected or used by others. Such postings may also appear on other websites or when searches
are executed on the subject of your posting.

Furthermore, although knutwinkler.com restricts access to portions of the Website to members of the
Service, since the Service is offered through and accessible through a number of other websites in
addition to the Website, any information that you post to the Website for access by members of the
Website may be searchable and available to users of the Service who access it via different websites from
the Website. You may also receive unsolicited messages from other parties as a result of such disclosure.
Such activities are beyond the control of knutwinkler.com and this Privacy Policy. You should therefore
exercise discretion and extreme caution when disclosing any Personal Information or other information
when using the Website or the Service.

 

Third-Party Websites

The Website may contain links to other websites. knutwinkler.com is not responsible for the privacy
practices of such websites. It is the User’s responsibility to review the privacy policies at those websites to confirm that they are acceptable prior to use. A link does not constitute an endorsement of the content,
viewpoint, or accuracy of such websites.

 

Marketing Communications

If you have used the Website before, it is possible that knutwinkler.com has data about you already and it is
being used to contact you about offers, events, items, or related activities. If you are an existing customer,
knutwinkler.com will continue to keep you informed unless you revoke your consent via the procedures set
forth below.

If you are a new user, knutwinkler.com will give you the choice (for example, once you have subscribed or
signed up), whether or not you want to receive emails regarding future offers, events, and new services or
related activities. knutwinkler.com will not bombard you with emails, but knutwinkler.com, with your consent,
would like to keep you informed of any developments on the Website.

If you have consented to receive such information, you may always revoke that consent at any time by
deleting your account.

 

Confidentiality and Security of Personal Information

Transmission of data and information via the Website is not a secure or encrypted transmission method
for sending your Personal Information unless otherwise indicated on the Website. Accordingly, your
attention is drawn to the fact that any information and personal data carried over the Internet is not secure.
Personal Information may be intercepted, lost, redirected, corrupted, changed, and accessed by other
people.

Nevertheless, knutwinkler.com is committed to using all reasonable efforts to protect Personal Information
collected through the Website against unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Consequently, we limit
employees’ access to Personal Information collected through the Website to only those employees who
need access to the information in the performance of their official duties.

In addition, we set strict security standards to prevent any unauthorized access to your Personal
Information once we have received it, and wherever possible we will use adequate security software and
working procedures to ensure the security of your personal data. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain
accuracy, and ensure proper use of Personal Information, we have employed physical, electronic, and
managerial processes to safeguard and secure the Personal Information we collect online. These measures
include limiting the number of people who have physical access to knutwinkler.com database servers, as
well as electronic security systems and password protections that guard against unauthorized access.

Data in our Logs. When you use Knut Winkler or go to a webpage or use an app that has Knut Winkler features (like our “Share It” button), our system automatically records that information (“data in our logs”) including
information that your internet browser sends whenever you search a website or your mobile application
sends when you’re using it going to and from different applications. The data in our logs may also include
your IP address, the address of the most recent web pages you’ve visited that had Knut Winkler features, browser type and settings, the date and time of your request, how you used Knut Winkler, and cookie data.

 

Disclosure of Personal Information

We may disclose your Personal Information to any member of our group, which means our subsidiaries
and our ultimate holding company and its subsidiaries. We may disclose your Personal Information to
third parties if you have consented to such disclosure. In addition, we may disclose or provide access to
your Personal Information to third parties without your consent:

if we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your Personal Information to the
prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets; if knutwinkler.com or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, in which case Personal Information held by it about its customers will, in most instances, be one of the transferred assets; if we ask a third party to carry out data analysis, cleansing, and/or market research on our behalf; for the purpose of validating the identity of the user and/or conducting background checks; or if we have a good faith belief that we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation (such as in connection with a law enforcement request, judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process), or in order to enforce or apply our policy or to protect the rights, property, or safety of knutwinkler.com, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging
information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk
reduction.

 

Children’s Online Privacy

It is important to knutwinkler.com that parents and guardians have control over what information is
collected from their children online and how such information is or may be used. The Children’s Online
Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”) imposes restrictions on commercial websites, including ours.
It is our policy to be compliant with the requirements of COPPA and not to solicit or collect information
about or from children age 13 and under.

Beyond the requirements of COPPA, we require that individuals be age 18 or over to register as a member
of the Service, and thus it is our policy not to solicit or collect information about or from anyone under
the age of 18. Users are cautioned, however, that absent a clear indication an online communication has
been submitted by a person under age 18, the collection of Personal Information submitted to the Website
will be treated as though it was submitted by an adult, and may unless exempted from access by federal or
state law, be subject to public access.

In the event that knutwinkler.com receives an online communication clearly indicating that it has been
submitted by a person under the age of 18, under no circumstances will any Personal Information be
published on the Website, be used for a purpose not intended by its sender or shared with third parties.
If you or your company would like more information about COPPA, please visit the Federal Trade
Commission’s official COPPA page at www.ftc.gov.

Fair Information Practices

The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the
concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the
globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is
critical to complying with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.
In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should
a data breach occur:
We will notify the users via email

compliance by data processors.
