Introduction
This page discloses the privacy practices of the Krakye.com website and android application. If you arrived at this page via one of our cobranded partner sites, please be assured that the privacy policy that you see here is in effect for all krakye.com and krakye app users regardless of how they are directed to our registration form.
(NOTE: We use the term "cobranded" to mean that an unaffiliated partner sites' logo or in some cases, a masthead that looks similar to the partner site appears on the krakye.com website pages in order to give the user a sense of continuity. However, only krakye.com collects information on krakye.com pages; the ways in which we use this information and protect your privacy are described below.)
Our data storage servers are located in the UK and by third party service providers in the cloud. By using krakye.com and the krakye app, you specifically agree that krakye.com & app may transfer to and store your personal information in the UK and to such third party service providers wherever they might locate their servers.

When you use krakye, we would like you to be aware of our privacy practices: Except as described in this privacy policy, we will not make any personal identifying information of our users available to anyone without your knowledge or consent (as described in this policy), except in the rare instances required by law. This includes your name, phone number, and email address. We will never try to sell you anything - that is not our business. We will never sell your name to anyone else who might want to use your name to directly sell you anything. Your individual responses to surveys will also be kept confidential, and will never be linked to your personal identifying information.
