Our Online Services may offer links to third-party websites that are not operated by kūpaa. If you visit one of these linked websites, you should review the website’s Privacy Policy, Terms and Conditions, and other policies. We are not responsible for the policies and practices of third-parties.

5. Cookie policy

  • We may collect information from you (or others on your behalf) de-identified information to help us in our business and provide you with the relevant Services. Such anonymised and de-identified information may be transferred, disclosed, assigned, leased, licensed, sold and otherwise shared with and by our partners, service providers, advertisers and/or other third parties for purposes permitted under law.

  • Cookies (small text files placed on your device that record information about your preferences and enable log-ins, provide interest-based advertising, analyse how our Services are performing) are an example of such anonymised data which we collect. While compiling information about your browsing habits, cookies can also enhance your user experience. There may also be third party cookies on our Websites and Channels. For more information on cookies, please refer to allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/.

  • You can control cookies through your web browser settings. This allows you to determine which cookies to allow and which to refuse. If you disallow the use of cookies on our Website or Channels, please note that you may not be able to access the full range of functions that our Website or Channels offer.
    Our advertising partners may also transmit cookies to your browser or device, when you click on advertisements that appear on the Services. Further, if you click on a link to a third-party website or service, a third party may also transmit cookies to you. For the avoidance of doubt, this privacy policy does not cover the use of cookies by any third parties, and we are not responsible for their privacy policies and practices. Please be aware that cookies placed by third parties may continue to track your activities online even after you have left our Services, and those third parties may not honour ‘Do Not Track’ requests that you have set using your browser or device.

If you do not consent to our use of cookies, you should adjust your browser settings accordingly or not use any of the Services.

6. Your rights and how to contact us

In accordance with applicable laws and regulations, you may be entitled to:

  • inquire about the processing of your personal data and be provided with a copy of it;

  • in some cases, request the correction and/or deletion of your personal data;

  • in some cases, request the restriction of or object to the processing of your personal data;

Where you are given the option to share your personal data with us, you can always choose not to do so. If we have requested your consent to processing and you later choose to withdraw it, we will respect that choice in accordance with our legal obligations. However, choosing not to share your personal data with us, withdrawing your consent to our use of it or to your agreement with our privacy policy could mean that we are unable to perform the actions necessary to achieve the purposes of processing described above or that you are unable to make use of Services.

After you have chosen to withdraw your consent, we may be able to continue to process your personal data to the extent required or otherwise permitted by applicable laws and regulations.
