You should know the ways we share your information, why we share it, and how you can control it. There are five general ways we share your information:

By using our services, you are directing us to disclose that information as broadly as possible. Your profile’s content, including your profile information (e.g., name/pseudonym, username, profile pictures), is available for viewing by the general public. The public does not need to be signed in to view much of the content on Kayanee’s website/app. They may also find your content off of the Kayanee website/app, for example from search query results on Internet search engines.

We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. We may share your information with service providers that perform functions and provide services on our behalf, including payment services providers who facilitate payments, service providers that host our various blogs, service providers who help us fulfill orders for products or services, service providers that provide marketing assistance, service providers that help us understand the use of our services, service providers that provide customer service, and those that provide fraud detection services.
Advertising revenue enables us to provide our products and services. Advertisers may learn information from your engagement with their ads on or off the Kayanee website/app. For example, if you click on an external link or ad on our services, that advertiser or website operator might figure out that you came from the Kayanee website/app, along with other information associated with the ad you clicked, such as characteristics of the audience it was intended to reach and other Kayanee-generated identifiers for that ad. They may also collect other personal information from you, such as cookie identifiers, or your IP address.
We also share or disclose your information with your consent or at your direction, such as when you authorize a third-party web client or application to access your account or when you direct us to share your feedback with a business, and they may receive and process your personal information as described in their privacy policies.

We only share information if we believe that disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation or judicial request; to protect the safety, rights, or property of the public, any person, or Kayanee; or to detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues.
We may also preserve, use, share, or disclose your information if we believe that it is reasonably necessary protect the safety of any person, protect the safety or integrity of our platform, including to help prevent spam, abuse, or malicious actors on our services, or to explain why we have removed content or accounts from our services.

We may share information amongst our affiliates to provide our products and services.
As a result of a change in ownership
As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy other businesses or services. We may share, sell, or transfer information about you in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or bankruptcy. This Privacy Policy will apply to your personal information that is shared with (before and after the close of any transaction) or transferred to the new entity.

Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when personal information about you might be shared with third-parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.
