Welcome

Welcome to Krepling’s Privacy Protection Policy! In this section, you’ll find our plain-English Terms of Service. This part isn’t legally binding, so please use this column only as an aid when reviewing the legal language.

Protecting your privacy is incredibly important to us. This Privacy Policy is here to help you understand how we treat any personal information that you share with us when you use Krepling and/or visit our various sites.

1. Defining “personal information”

In this Policy, “Personal Information” means information or an information set that identifies or could be used to identify an individual directly or indirectly. Except as described in this Policy, Krepling will not give, sell, rent, or loan any Personal Information to any third party.

Personal Information does not include “Usage Data” which we define as encoded or anonymized information or aggregated data we collect about a group or category of services, features, or users which does not contain personally-identifying information. Usage Data helps us understand trends in the usage of the Service so that we can better consider new features or otherwise tailor the Service. In addition to collecting and using Usage Data ourselves, we may share Usage Data with third parties, including our customers, partners, and service providers, for various purposes, including to help us better understand our customers’ needs and improve the Service as well as for advertising and marketing purposes.

Which means
  • “Personal Information” is information someone can use to identify you.
  • How we collect, use, and share your Personal Information and other information

2.1 Information you provide us

When you register for the Service, we may ask for Personal Information such as your name, email address, or credit card, or other billing information. You may also provide at your own discretion certain related information like your company name, social media websites, a list of your skills, the date you started using the Service, and a description of your business.

We may also retain the contents of any messages you send to us or through the Service, and we may collect information you provide in user content that you post or upload to the Service (“User Content”).

Krepling may use Personal Information provided to operate, improve upon, and personalize the Service, for billing identification and authentication, to contact and communicate with you about the Service and your use of the Service, to support use of the Service, to send marketing materials for research purposes, and to generally improve the content and functionality of the Service.

We may also combine your Personal Information with third-party analytics information to build a broader profile of our individual users so that we can serve you better and provide custom, personalized content and information. Additionally, we may use the Personal Information we collect for identification and authentication and fraud prevention, to analyze Site usage and improve the Service, for internal market research, troubleshooting problems, to enforce our Terms of Service, and as otherwise set forth in this Policy.

Note that we will never email you to ask for your account information. If you ever receive such an email, please forward it to privacy@krepling.com. For more information about our procedures in this regard, please review our Terms of Service.

We use financial information solely as authorized by you in accordance with the Service. While Krepling does not store your credit card information and will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of all credit card and all other Personal Information, we expressly disclaim any liability for any unauthorized access to or use of our secure servers and/or any and all personal and/or financial information stored therein, and you agree to hold Krepling harmless for any damages that may result therefrom.

2.2 Information we may receive and share with third parties

We may now or in the future receive Personal Information about you from third parties. For example, if you access our Site or Service through a third-party connection or log-in or connect an application to Krepling, that third party you connected with may pass certain information about your use of its service to Krepling. This information could include but is not limited to, the user ID associated with your account, an access token necessary to access that service, any information that you have permitted the third party to share with us, and any information you have made public in connection with that third-party service. You should always review, and if necessary, adjust your privacy settings on third-party websites and services before linking or connecting them to the Service.

Krepling may also share Personal Information with its third-party service providers (such as its credit card processors and payment/hosting partners) to provide the necessary hardware, software, networking, storage, and other service we use to operate the Service and maintain a high-quality user experience. We do not permit our service providers to use the Personal Information we share for their marketing purposes.

2.3 Domain name information

When you purchase Domain Registration services for top level domains (TLDs), as the domain registrar, we are required to collect the following personal information from you (collectively, “Personal Information”):

In addition to Personal Information, our contracts with some Registries may require us to collect other personal information for the registration of a TLD such as certain professional affiliations, identification, or other qualifiers (“Additional Personal Information”).

2.4 Log file information

We collect certain technical information from the visitors to our customers’ websites. The information that our web servers log about our Service customers’ site visitors includes:

  • Browser Type
  • Language Preference
  • Referring Site

We do this, for instance, to facilitate customer billing when a tiered pricing plan is based on the number of unique visitors to a customer’s website. We also use this technical information for our own analytical purposes, such as to measure how many customers have published active websites using our Service. Lastly, we may use this information to create separate analytics products that we offer to customers–using information that is not directly identifiable to any individual–to help customers visualize how their site is being used, to track conversions, and to provide other measurement metrics.

2.5 Other information sharing

We may be required to disclose Personal Information to respond to subpoenas, court orders, and law enforcement or governmental requests or investigations, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims. We may also share Personal Information if we believe it is necessary 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 or our Terms of Service, or as otherwise required by law.

We use or may use information collected by cookies, log files, device identifiers, and clear GIFs information to:

(a) remember information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the site

(b) provide custom, personalized content and information

  • Krepling won’t sell or rent your personal information to a third party.
  • Krepling, as a domain registrar, collects relevant information about your domain registration to comply with ICANN standards.
  • Sometimes we aggregate user data anonymously to understand our customer base better.
  • We may connect with third-party services to improve your experience. These features are governed by the respective company’s privacy policy, so review your privacy settings there.
  • We collect some information from you automatically using cookies so we know when things go wrong, or to help us understand what parts of Krepling need some improvement.
  • Sometimes the law or subpoenas require us to share information. We may also sometimes need to use information to investigate and prevent wrongful actions.

3. Links to other websites

The Service contains links to websites and applications other than the Service, including websites and applications operated by affiliates and other third parties. This Policy applies only to information collected by the Service.

Krepling does not endorse and is not responsible for the practices of third parties or their websites or applications. We do not determine and are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of websites or applications operated by third parties. Your browsing and interaction on any third-party website or service, including those that have a link on our website, are subject to that third party’s own rules and policies.

We are not responsible for and we do not control any third parties that you authorize to access your User Content. If you are using a third-party website or service and you allow such a third-party access to your User Content, you do so at your own risk.

Which means

We sometimes link to third-party websites and services. Your use of those sites and services is governed by their respective policies, not ours. So be careful out there, guys.

4. Our community

Our Service offers publicly accessible blogs and community forums. If you elect to post something in a public area of our Service, any Personal Information or content that you voluntarily disclose for posting to the Service, becomes available to the public, as controlled by any applicable privacy settings. If you remove information that you posted to the Service, copies may remain viewable in cached and archived pages of the Service, or if other users have copied or saved that information.

To request removal of your Personal Information from our blog or community forum, contact us at support@krepling.com (https://web.archive.org/web/20231202214153/mailto:support@krepling.com). In some cases, we may not be able to remove all your Personal Information.

Which means

Our blogs and community forums are accessible to the public, so any information provided in these areas, including your personal information, may be read, collected, and used by the public. If you need personal info removed, you can email us at support@krepling.com and we’ll remove it, if possible.

5. User reviews

From time to time, we post customer testimonials on the Sites which may contain Personal Information. We always obtain the customers’ consent prior to posting their names along with their testimonials.

6. Protection of information

Our teams work tirelessly to protect your information, and to ensure the security and integrity of our platform. We also have independent auditors assess the security of our data storage and systems that process financial information. We use commercially reasonable technological, physical, and administrative security safeguards, such as firewalls and carefully developed security features, to protect the confidentiality and security of your Personal Information within the Service and the Sites. When you enter confidential information (such as login credentials or information submitted from within the Service) we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). These technologies, procedures, and other measures are used in an effort to ensure that your data is safe, secure, and only available to you and to those you authorized to access your data. However, we all know that no method of transmission over the Internet, and method of electronic storage, can be 100% secure. This means we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information.

Which means
  • The security of your information is extremely important to us. We take many steps to ensure your personal information is safe by using commercially reasonable technology and security safeguards. We are not responsible for the security measures of any third party.

7. Cloud and data transfers

We are based in the United States with offices in Europe, but, unless we expressly agree otherwise (including through our Terms), we may host, transfer, and process data, including Personal Information, in the United States and in other countries through Krepling and third parties that we use to operate and manage the Service. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from those of your country of residence. Krepling uses a variety of safeguards, including contractual and technical measures, to protect the data we transfer.

If you are located in the United Kingdom (“UK”), European Union (“EU”), European Economic Area (“EEA”) or Switzerland, we recognize that the Court of Justice of the European Union ruled in July 2020 that a certification under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework no longer can serve as the basis by which entities subject to the GDPR export Personal Information to countries whose laws have not been recognized by the European Commission as providing a high level of protection for the information. As affected customers who relied only on our Privacy Shield certification transition to the use of Standard Contractual Clauses and other methods for transferring Personal Information to Krepling under the GDPR, Krepling will continue to honor our obligation to comply with the Privacy Shield Principles with respect to such information.

Which means

We’re based in the United States and Europe, but we may host, transfer, or process data in other countries through third parties that manage our service. By using our service, you are agreeing to this use of data in other countries, which may have different privacy laws.

TL;DR: We offer Standard Contractual Clauses for the protection of personal data that customers export to us from the UK or EEA.

8. Choice

You may unsubscribe from receiving promotional or marketing emails from Krepling at any time by using the “unsubscribe” link in the email received, or by emailing us at support@krepling.com (https://web.archive.org/web/20231202214153/mailto:support@krepling.com). As outlined in the Section, Cookies and other Tracking Technologies, you can also control your cookie settings.

With respect to your account information, you may update, correct, or delete information that you provided to us by logging into your Krepling account or contacting us at support@krepling.com.

Which means
  • You can also opt out of receiving marketing information from Krepling.

9. Updating your information

If you are not a Krepling business owner and would like to gain access to, or request deletion of, information we have collected, please contact us at support@krepling.com. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to such queries within a reasonable time. Krepling has no direct relationship with the individuals or companies (“End Users”) with whom you may interact using the Service. Any such End Users seeking access to, or who would like to correct, amend, or delete data which may be stored in the Service should direct their query to the applicable Krepling business owner acting as the data controller for such information.

Which means

You can always access and manage your personal information through your Webflow account, or by emailing us at support@krepling.com.

10. Data retention

Krepling will retain Personal Information we process on behalf of our customers or collect directly from our customers for as long as needed to provide Service to our customers, subject to our compliance with this Policy, or as required or permitted under the applicable law. We may further retain and use this Personal Information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations; maintain accurate accounting, financial, and other operational records; resolve disputes; and enforce our agreements. We have established internal policies for the deletion of data from customer accounts following termination of a customer’s subscription to the Service.

We may also keep your personal information if required by law or to keep our internal records accurate. Once you terminate your account, we’ll delete your personal information, unless we’re required by law to retain it.

Krepling does not knowingly collect any Personal Information from children under the age of 13. If you are under the age of 13, please do not submit any Personal Information through our Service. We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s internet usage and to help enforce our Policy by instructing their children never to provide Personal Information on our Service without their permission. If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 13 has provided Personal Information to Krepling through our Service, please contact us, and we will use commercially reasonable efforts to delete that information from our databases.
