Protect the privacy of our visitors is our top priority at Kurato. This document outlines the types of information that is collected and stored by Kurato and how we use it. If you have any further questions or would like more information about our privacy policy, please reach out to us.
This privacy policy applies only to our online activities and applies to users of our website or web browser extension, with respect to information they have shared and/or used in Kurato. This policy does not apply to information collected by any other means.
We have adapted the privacy policy from Automattic that follow a few fundamental principles:
We are the folks behind Kurato, the popular curation tool available both as a web application and web browser extension.
This Privacy Policy applies to information that we collect about you when you use our browser add-on in Chrome or Firefox.
Throughout this Privacy Policy we'll refer to our website, Chrome extension and Firefox add-on collectively as "Services." And if you'd like to learn more about which Kurato.io company is the controller of information about you, take a look at the section below on Controllers and Responsible Companies.
Below we explain how we collect, use, and share information about you, along with the choices that you have with respect to that information.
We only collect information about you if we have a reason to do so-for example, to provide our Services, to communicate with you, or to make our Services better.
It's probably no surprise that we collect information that you provide to us. The amount and type of information depends on the context and how we use the information.
If you send to us an email, you provide to us your email adresse, and maybe your firstname and lastname.
We also collect some information automatically:
We use information about you as mentioned above and for the purposes listed below:
A note here for those in the European Union about our legal grounds for processing information about you under EU data protection laws, which is that our use of your information is based on the grounds that:
(1) The use is necessary in order to fulfill our commitments to you under our Terms of Service or other agreements with you or is necessary to administer your account–for example, in order to enable the browser add-on using an API key; or
(2) The use is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation; or
(3) The use is necessary in order to protect your vital interests or those of another person; or
(4) We have a legitimate interest in using your information–for example, to provide and update our Services, to improve our Services so that we can offer you an even better user experience, to safeguard our Services, to communicate with you, to measure, gauge, and improve the effectiveness of our advertising, and better understand user retention and attrition, to monitor and prevent any problems with our Services, and to personalize your experience; or
(5) You have given us your consent–for example before we place certain cookies on your device and access and analyze them later on.
We do not sell our users' private personal information.
We share information about you in the limited circumstances spelled out below and with appropriate safeguards on your privacy:
We generally discard information about you when we no longer need the information for the purposes for which we collect and use it–which are described in the section above on How and Why We Use Information–and we are not legally required to continue to keep it.
For example, we keep the web server logs that record information about a visitor to one of Kurato.io's websites, such as the visitor's IP address, browser type, and operating system, for approximately 30 days. We retain the logs for this period of time in order to, among other things, analyze traffic to Kurato.io's websites and investigate issues if something goes wrong on one of our websites.
While no online service is 100% secure, we work very hard to protect information about you against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction, and take reasonable measures to do so, such as monitoring our Services for potential vulnerabilities and attacks.
You have several choices available when it comes to information about you:
If you are located in certain countries, including those that fall under the scope of the European General Data Protection Regulation (AKA the "GDPR"), data protection laws give you rights with respect to your personal data, subject to any exemptions provided by the law, including the rights to:
You can usually access, correct, or delete your personal data using your account settings and tools that we offer, but if you aren't able to do that, or you would like to contact us about one of the other rights, scroll down to How to Reach Us to, well, find out how to reach us.
EU individuals also have the right to make a complaint to a government supervisory authority.
