Kickbooster uses appropriate security measures to protect personal information against risks such as loss or theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, misuse, modification or destruction, and any other unlawful form of processing of the personal information in our possession regardless of the format in which it is held. The methods of protection and safeguards used by Kickbooster include, but are not limited to:
In any organization, failure to protect personal information can increase the risk of a privacy breach which can lead to things such as financial loss, reputational harm, fraud, or identity theft. While Kickbooster cannot guarantee that a privacy breach will not occur, Kickbooster will make every effort to prevent such occurrences by implementing the above security safeguards.
Kickbooster also ensures that its employees, independent contractors, agents, partners, and service providers with access to personal information are made aware of the importance of maintaining the confidentiality of personal information.
Kickbooster takes care in disposing of or destroying personal information to prevent unauthorized parties from gaining access to the information.
While Kickbooster is committed to safeguarding your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any personal information we collect either directly or automatically from you, and you do so at your own risk.
Kickbooster can not guarantee that such personal information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our security safeguards. To the degree that personal information is of a sensitive nature, in the event of a breach, there may be a risk of significant harm to you which includes bodily harm, humiliation, damage to reputation or relationships, loss of employment, business or professional opportunities, financial loss, identity theft, negative effects on the credit record and damage to or loss of property.
Kickbooster also cannot guarantee that information sent or received over the Internet is secure and does not make any representation or warranty concerning the security of personal information communicated to or from Kickbooster via the Internet or regarding the interception by third parties.
Your personal information may be stored and processed in any country where we engage third-party service providers (e.g., Canada, United States). While such information is outside of your country of residence, it is subject to the law of the country in which it is held and may be subject to disclosure to the governments, courts, or law enforcement or regulatory agencies of such other country, pursuant to the laws of such country. For example, personal information stored in the United States is subject to the US PATRIOT ACT.
Regardless of where your personal information may be stored and processed, Kickbooster practices will at all times continue to be governed by this Privacy Policy. In addition, Kickbooster has measures in place to ensure that when your personal information is transferred to a third party for processing, whether within or outside Canada, it is subject to appropriate safeguards in accordance with applicable data protection laws. These measures typically include contractual safeguards stipulating the confidentiality of the information and the purposes for which it is to be used.
Where and when appropriate, we will transmit amended personal information to third parties having access to the personal information in question.
Kickbooster will only keep personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the relevant purposes set out in the Policy Privacy and in order to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations. To determine the appropriate retention period for your information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your information, the purposes for which we process your information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
We may collect, use and disclose non-personal information, including aggregated data resulting from the combination and/or aggregation or certain raw data collected from you with other data in a way that no longer personally identifies you. We make no attempt to link this non-personal information with the identity of individuals. We may permanently archive non-personal information for future use in any manner whatsoever.
Kickbooster is committed to keeping your personal information as complete, up-to-date, and accurate as is necessary for the purposes for which it is to be used. Kickbooster will promptly correct or complete any personal information found to be inaccurate or incomplete.

We make no attempt to link this non-personal information with the identity of individuals using the Service. Non-personal information may be permanently archived for future use in any manner whatsoever by Kickbooster.
Our legal basis for collecting and using personal information described in this Privacy Policy will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.
Below are the types of lawful basis that, depending on the circumstances, we may rely on to process your personal information:
Change of Purpose
We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.
Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent where this is required or permitted by law.
Your Personal Information Rights
Under certain circumstances and in accordance with EU/EEA applicable data protection laws, you have the following rights:
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us as provided in Section 19. These rights are not absolute and they do not always apply in all cases.
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request in order to help us respond efficiently to your request.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the above rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
If you have any complaints regarding our privacy practices as data controller, you have the right to make a complaint at any time to your local Supervisory Authority. We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach your Supervisory Authority so please contact us as provided under Section 19.
A list of data processors engaged by Kickbooster who may receive personal information is available here. New data processors will be added to this list 30 days prior to being integrated into our Services. If you are subject to the GDPR and have objections to a data processor addition, please contact us as provided in Section 19. Objections to data processors may impact the Services which we can provide to you.
When personal information is transferred from the European Economic Area to a country that has not been deemed adequate by the European Commission, Kickbooster relies on appropriate safeguards, such as European Commission approved Standard Contractual Clauses to transfer the personal information.
This section provides additional details about California users and the rights afforded to them under the California Consumer Privacy Act or (“CCPA”). If you need to access this notice in an alternative format, please contact us as provided in Section 19.
Under the CCPA, “personal information” is defined as anything that identifies, relates to, describes or is capable of being associated with or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular California consumer of household. For more details about the personal information we have collected over the last 12 months, including the categories of sources, please see Section 2. We collect this information for the business and commercial purposes described in Section 3. We share this information with the categories of third parties described in there. Kickbooster does not sell (as such term is defined in the CCPA) the personal information we collect (and will not sell it without providing a right to opt out). Please note that we may use third-party cookies for our advertising purposes as further described in Section 13 above.
The CCPA requires opt-in consent to information use for minors under the age of 16 and verified parental consent for children under the age of 13. As stated in Section 6, We do not knowingly collect or process the information of children.
Subject to certain limitations, the CCPA provides California users the right to request, free of charge, to know more details about the categories or specific pieces of personal information we collect (including how we use and disclose this information), to delete their personal information, to opt out of any “sales” that may be occurring, and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
California users may make a request pursuant to their rights under the CCPA by contacting us as provided in Section 19. We will verify your request using the information associated with your account, including email address. Government identification may be required. Users can also designate an authorized agent to exercise these rights on their behalf.
