INTRODUCTION
KANAVA® International, LLC (referred to herein as “KANAVA,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy and security of the personal information we collect, use, share and otherwise process as part of our business. We also believe in transparency, and we are committed to informing you about how we treat identifiable information relating to individuals (“personal information”).
We have established this Privacy Policy to inform you about the privacy practices that we apply to personal information for the activities listed below.
PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY TO UNDERSTAND HOW WE TREAT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION AND WHAT CHOICES AND RIGHTS YOU HAVE IN THIS REGARD. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS POLICY, YOU SHOULD NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SITE OR ENGAGE IN COMMUNICATIONS WITH US CONCERNING OUR SERVICES OR PRODUCTS.
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information we collect when you:
Visit our website, kanavainternational.com (the “Site”);
Receive electronic communications from us, including emails, etc.; and
Request information from us online.
WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
We may collect and process the following personal information from you for the purposes set forth below:
COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES
A “cookie” is a small file created by a web server that can be stored on a user’s device for use either during a particular browsing session (a “session” cookie) or a future browsing session (a “persistent” cookie). This file is set by the site or its service provider, and it is transferred to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser (if you allow). Cookies enable the site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information.
The information collected may include information about your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), domain server, type of computer, type of web browser, URLs of any referring or exited webpages, operating system, and/or date and time stamps. We use cookies as outlined below and to help compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.
First-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting, and they can only be read by that site. Certain features of our Site use session, persistent, and/or flash cookies as outlined in the table below.
“Session” cookies are temporarily stored on your hard drive and only last until they expire at the end of your browsing session or after a set time period. “Permanent” cookies remain stored on a user’s hard drive until they expire or are deleted by a user. Local stored objects (or “flash” cookies) are used to collect and store information about your preferences and navigation to, from, and on a website. Flash cookies are not managed by the same browser settings as browser cookies. To learn how you can manage your Flash cookie settings, visit the Flash player settings page on Adobe's website at:
https://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help09.html.
Third Party Cookies
You also may encounter third-party cookies on the Site, as outlined in the table below. Third Party Cookies are cookies that are stored on your web browser by a party other than us and may gather browsing activity (such as information you have entered or choices you have made) across numerous websites that you visit and across numerous browsing sessions. These cookies also help us to improve how the Site and services function and perform, to customize your interactions with the Site, and to provide more relevant messaging and marketing communications. We are currently using third-party cookies to track and analyze usage as outlined in the table below.
If you wish to delete Third Party Cookies, you should adjust your browser settings as described in the “Rights and Choices about How We Use and Disclose Your Information” section of this Policy.
Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, there are other automatic data collection technologies, such as Internet tags, web beacons (clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs), and navigational data collection (log files, server logs, etc.) that can be used to collect data as users navigate through and interact with the Site:
Web beacons: These are tiny graphics (sometimes called “clear GIFs” or “web pixels”) with unique identifiers that are used to understand browsing activity. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, web beacons are rendered invisible on web pages when you open a page.
Social Widgets: These are buttons or icons provided by third-party social media providers that allow you to interact with social media services when you view a web page or mobile app screen. These social widgets may collect browsing data, which may be received by the third party that provided the widget and are controlled by third parties.
UTM Codes: These are strings that can appear in a URL (the “Uniform Resource Locator,” which is typically the http or https address entered to go to a web page) when a user moves from one web page or website to another, where the string can represent information about browsing, such as which advertisement, page, or publisher sent the user to the receiving website.
The aggregate data collected by these passive technologies typically does not target any personal information, but personal information may be linked to information stored in and obtained through these technologies in order to improve our marketing, analytics, or website functionality.
What Cookies Are In Use and Why Do We Use Them?
As detailed below, we use cookies to enable certain website functions, develop web browsing analytics, store and track your preferences, and enable the delivery of advertising and marketing, when applicable. For example, we may track the number of “hits” or visits to the Site, the most popular times of day and sections visited, and the range of devices and browsers most commonly used to view the Site. We do not sell or distribute any of this information to third parties.
What similar technologies are in use and why do we use them?
As detailed below, we use the following data collection technologies, Internet tags, web beacons (clear gifs., pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs), and navigational data collection (log files, server logs, etc.) in order to improve website functionality and analytics:
Other Third Party Technologies
Some third parties may use automated data collection technologies to collect information about you when you when you browse the Internet. The information they collect about your online browsing activities over time and across different websites and other online services may be associated with your personal information and used to provide you with targeted content. We do not control these third parties’ technologies or how they may be used. If you have any questions about targeted content, you should contact the responsible party directly or consult their privacy policies.
Choices About Cookies
We provide you with choices regarding the personal information you provide to us, and we have created ways to give you control over our use of your information. Most web browsers are set by default to accept cookies. If you do not wish to receive cookies, you may set your browser to refuse all or some types of cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent by website tracking technologies and advertising. Note that, if you decline the use of cookies, you may not have access to the full benefits of the Site.
When you visit the Site, it will prompt you to confirm whether you approve of the use of a cookie. You may adjust your browser settings to opt out of accepting a “persistent” cookie and to only accept “session” cookies, but you will need to log in each time you want to enjoy the full functionality of the Site.
Please be aware that adjusting the Cookie Settings on the Site may not fully delete all of the cookies that have already been created. To delete them, visit your web browser settings after you have changed your Cookie Settings on the Site.

We will retain and use your personal information as long as necessary to comply with our business requirements and legal obligations, to resolve disputes, to protect our assets, to provide our services, and to enforce our agreements.
When we no longer have a purpose to retain your personal information, we will securely destroy your personal information in accordance with applicable law and our policies.

HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION?
We have put security measures in place to protect the personal information that you share with us from being accidentally lost, used, altered, or disclosed or accessed in an unauthorized manner. From time to time, we review our security procedures to consider appropriate new technology and methods.
We use secure software, software services, and hardware that use encryption technologies to receive, store, and transmit personal information we collect about our users. While our security measures seek to protect your personal information in our possession, no security system is perfect, and no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from our Site, including through email communication with us, and you do so at your own risk. We cannot promise that your personal information will remain absolutely secure in all circumstances.
If a security breach causes an unauthorized intrusion into our Site or systems that compromises your data, we will notify you and any applicable regulator when we are required to do so by applicable law.
