8. COMPLIANCE WITH PRIVACY LAWS.

TAS complies with the data protection and privacy laws to which it is subject. Customer should become familiarized with those laws, including any exceptions which may apply under such laws. Customers should also be aware that privacy laws in various jurisdictions may change from time to time. Except to the extent expressly stated otherwise in this Privacy Policy, TAS accepts no obligations with respect to the handling of Personal Information other than those mandated by law in the country which has or countries which have jurisdiction over TAS in any given circumstances.

9. MINORS.
TAS complies with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, which requires the consent of a parent or guardian for the collection of personally identifiable information from children under thirteen (13) years of age. TAS does not knowingly collect, use or disclose Personal Information from children under thirteen (13), or equivalent minimum age in the relevant jurisdiction, without verifiable parental consent. However, it is possible that TAS may inadvertently receive information pertaining to children under thirteen (13). If Customer believes that TAS has received information about Customer’s child who is under the age of thirteen (13), please do not hesitate to notify TAS. When TAS receives Customer’s notification, TAS will obtain Customer’s consent to retain the information or will delete it permanently. For purposes of the
California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), TAS does not sell the personal information of consumers that TAS knows are minors under 16 years of age without affirmative authorization as required under the CCPA.

10. CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS.

The CCPA gives California Customers certain rights to Personal Information that TAS has collected. Under California law, the exercise of these rights is subject to certain exemptions to safeguard public interests (such as the prevention or detection of crime) and TAS’s interests (such as maintaining confidentially when legally required). TAS will comply with Customer’s request as soon as reasonably practicable. Requests to exercise Customer’s rights may be granted in whole, in part, or not at all, depending on the scope and nature of the request and applicable law. To prevent unauthorized access to Customer’s Personal Information, TAS takes steps to verify a Customer’s right to the data. Following verification of Customer’s identity, TAS will notify Customer if TAS is unable to fulfill Customer’s request and outline the reasons TAS is unable to honor Customer’s request at this time.

Customer has the right to: (a) ask TAS for confirmation on whether TAS is processing Customer’s Personal Information, and if Customer can access such Personal Information as permitted by law (this may include what Personal Information TAS collects, uses, or discloses about Customer); (b) ask TAS to delete Customer Personal Information, as permitted by law; and (c) opt-out of certain data sharing practices with third-parties who may use Customer Personal Information solely for their own purposes (Customer’s right to opt-out is limited to information TAS sells to these third-parties, if any, which means the disclosure of data, including technical device data that does not identify Customer directly, when a third-party might use that data for its own purposes, such as for personalized advertising). Additionally, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits California Customers to request and obtain from TAS a list of what Personal Information, if any, TAS disclosed to third-parties for that third-party’s direct marketing in the preceding calendar year, as well as the names and addresses of those third-parties. TAS will not discriminate against Customer, in terms of price or the Services that TAS offers, if Customer submits one of the rights requests listed in this Section 10. To exercise Customer’s rights to Customer’s Personal Information or for instructions on how to exercise Customer’s rights, please contact TAS at suport@KFAcademy.org

11. EU/EEA PRIVACY RIGHTS. If Customer is located in the European Union (EU) and/or European Economic Area (EEA), to process Customer’s Personal Information lawfully TAS needs to rely on one or more valid legal grounds. The grounds TAS may rely upon include:
(a) Customer’s consent to particular processing activities (for example, where Customer has consented to TAS using Customer’s Personal Information for marketing purposes); (b) TAS’s legitimate interests as a business except where Customer’s interests or fundamental rights override such interests (for example, it is within TAS’s legitimate interests to use Customer’s Personal Information to send Customer TAS’s electronic newsletter and updates unless Customer has unsubscribed); (c) TAS’s compliance with a legal obligation to which TAS is subject (for example, TAS has a duty to investigate and respond to complaints made against TAS and may need to process Customer’s Personal
Information as part of such investigation); or (d) if Customer is a customer, or is representing a customer, because processing Customer’s Personal Information is necessary for the performance of a contract.

Please contact TAS at suport@KFAcademy.org at any time to exercise any of Customer’s data protection rights. Data protection law applicable to
individuals in the EU and/or EEA provides individuals with certain rights, including the right to access, rectify, withdraw consent, erase, restrict, transport, and object to the processing of Customer Personal Information. Customer also has the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant information protection authority if Customer believes that Customer’s Personal Information is not being processed in accordance with the law. Specifically, Customer may have the right to: (a) obtain a copy of the Personal Information TAS has about Customer; (b) request that TAS rectify any inaccurate Personal Information and/or complete any incomplete Personal Information (if TAS disagrees and believes such information to be accurate and complete, TAS will advise Customer and include a notation on the record that Customer disputes the information’s accuracy. TAS will respond to Customer’s request to correct or supplement Customer’s Personal Information within a reasonable time period or within any
time period specified in relevant laws); (c) as permitted by law, withdraw Customer’s consent to the processing of Customer’s Personal information at any time (such withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on Customer’s previous consent. Please note that if Customer withdraws Customer’s consent, Customer may not be able to benefit from certain features of the Services or the Platforms for which the processing of Customer’s Personal Information is essential); (d) as permitted by law, request that TAS stop processing Customer’s Personal Information (Customer also has the right to ask TAS not to process Customer’s Personal Information for marketing purposes); and (e) request that TAS erase Customer’s Personal Information for which TAS must comply, unless there is a lawful reason for not doing so. TAS suggests that Customer contact TAS regarding any questions relating to this Section 11 or if Customer has a complaint in relation to how TAS processes Customer’s Personal Information. However, Customer does have the right to contact the relevant supervisory authority in such relevant country directly.

Individuals in the EU should be aware that TAS may transfer Customer’s Personal Information to a third-party in countries outside the EU for further processing in accordance with the purposes set forth in this Privacy Policy. In particular, Customer’s Personal Information may be transferred to TAS’s outsourced service providers located abroad. In these circumstances, TAS will, as required by applicable law, ensure that Customer’s privacy rights are adequately protected by appropriate technical, organization, contractual or other lawful means. Individuals in the EU, EEA, or Switzerland with inquiries or complaints regarding this Privacy Policy should first contact suport@KFAcademy.org

12. CHANGES. TAS may periodically update this Privacy Policy. The most current version of this Privacy Policy will govern TAS’s use of Customer’s Personal Information and will always be available on the Platforms. TAS will notify Customer about material changes in the way TAS treats Personal Information by sending a notice to the email address specified in Customer’s membership account or by placing a
prominent notice on the Platforms.
