8 Protection of Personal Information

We have implemented industry-standard measures to protect the security of the Personal Information We collect via the myKlovr Platform.

If We determine that Your Personal Information was accessed in an improper manner, We will comply with applicable laws as We understand them and will cooperate with internal investigators or law enforcement (including by possibly disclosing Your Personal Information to such investigators or law enforcement agencies).

Given the nature of the Internet, Your Personal Information passes through entities that we are unable to control. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that our security measures or those of third parties who access or transmit Your Information will prevent Your Information from being improperly accessed, stolen or altered. As required by applicable federal and state laws, we will notify You by email and any applicable regulatory agencies if we learn of an information security breach of Your Information. Please be advised that notice may be delayed in order to address the needs of law enforcement, determine the scope of network damage, and to engage in remedial measures.

To secure the privacy and control of Your Personal Information, You bear the entire responsibility for securing, preventing the disclosure of, and not sharing Your Access Credentials.

Part of Your responsibility to secure Your access credentials requires that You use an effective, secure, hard-to-guess password. We strongly advise that Your password be at least 8 characters long, include upper- and lower-case letters, at least one digit, and at least one symbol (e.g.; period, comma, hyphen, etc.), and that Your password not contain repeated characters or digits (e.g.; 'aaaaa' or '22222'), sequences of letters or digits (e.g.; 'abcd', 'qwerty', '1234', etc.), common words or phrases (e.g.; 'Password', 'secret', 'iloveyou', etc.) or information readily obtained from Your social media presence (e.g.; Your date of birth, home-town, pet's or spouse's name, favorite band or car, etc.).

To the maximum extent permitted by law, We disclaim any responsibility or liability from any misuse of Your Personal Information resulting from illegal, improper, negligent, malicious, or inappropriate acts or omissions by You or any third party, or from any conduct other than willful misconduct by Us.

For minors over 13 years of age and less than 16 years of age, We require a two step opt-in process consenting to the sale of their Personal Information or the consent of the minor's parent or guardian.

12.7 Authorized Agent

The CCPA gives You the right to appoint an agent to act on Your behalf to exercise Your CCPA rights with respect to the myKlovr Platform.
