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.

Business owners may update, delete, or change your Personal Information you have provided Krepling by logging in to the Service and providing such additional information or deleting such information where applicable.

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.

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.

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.
