To use our Site you must register as a user by providing your email address, a Kroogi name, and a password. If you want to be able to receive payments from other users, then you must also provide a PayPal email address or other means for receiving payments. You may also provide us with any other information about yourself that you choose to share with us and other users. You can view and change this information at any time by viewing your user profile.

Cookies. Our Site uses cookies for internal administrative purposes related to the presentation of our Site, for logging traffic on our site, and for displaying advertisements. We may store other information in cookies as we grow our Site. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a Web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of this or other websites you visit.

How the information collected is used:

Kroogi takes the privacy of our users and members very seriously. We will never sell, rent, or otherwise provide your personally identifiable information to any third parties.

We use your email address to validate your access to our Site as well as to send you updates about other users’ interactions on the Site (e.g., updates to your friends’ profiles or notice where a friend has favorited your Kroogi page). Any optional information that you provide us when creating your account or updating your profile may be viewed or searched by other users (particularly information you select for inclusion as part of your public profile or part of your Kroogi page). We may also display certain advertisements to you based on the optional information you provide us.
Kroogi will not use or share your personal information in a manner that differs from what is described in this Privacy Policy without your prior consent.

How your information is protected:

Kroogi strictly protects the security of the personal information you provide. Personal information we collect is stored in password-controlled servers with limited access, and we carefully protect this information from loss or misuse, and from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

When your information may be disclosed:

Kroogi may disclose any optional information you provide (e.g. gender, age, location) to advertisers on our Site so that we may display advertisements relevant to you. Kroogi places restrictions on how advertisers may use such information and does not share personally identifiable information with advertisers. As noted above, however, information that you provide for inclusion as part of your public profile or part of your Kroogi page may be searched or viewed by other visitors to the Site.

Kroogi may disclose personal information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the requirements of the law or comply with legal process served on Kroogi or the Site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Kroogi; or (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect personal safety of users of Kroogi, its websites, or the public.

We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy. When we do, we will also revise the “last modified” date at the top of the Privacy Policy. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy to stay informed about how we are protecting the personal information we collect. Your continued use of the service constitutes your agreement to this Privacy Policy and any updates.
