Klu.ai Platform Agreement
Privacy Policy
About Us
We are Klu (Klu, Inc.) – a leading LLM App Platform business incorporated in the United States. We are headquartered at 548 Market Street San Francisco 94104 USA, and store all data in Europe. We believe in the highest levels of privacy and security, and therefore we only collect data to make our products and services better for customers like you.
If you would like to contact us with a question about how we use your data, the quickest way to do this is by contacting our Data Protection Officer, Stephen M. Walker II, via email at privacy at klu dot ai. This notice provides our privacy policy for all users, for citizens of the EU, and also explains how California residents can exercise their rights under the CCPA to request that we:
- Provide certain personal information that we have collected about them during the past 12 months, along with related information described below.
- Delete certain personal information that we have collected from them.
No matter your location on Earth, as a customer, we provide you the same transparency and data options standards available to customers located in California and Europe.
Why do we collect data?
To facilitate the account creation and logon process we collect your name and email address. We collect this in order to take steps to enter into a contract with you and allow us to provide our services, including to fulfil your orders and requests, and to facilitate payments. This includes monitoring payments and purchases for fraud.
An unfortunate truth of the internet is that there are many bad actors continually probing and attempting to exploit weaknesses in systems. For example, in the first week of service, our fraud detection systems blocked payments from a bad actor attempting to use a stolen credit card when purchasing an Enterprise plan.
When you contact us either by phone, email, this website or via social media, we will usually collect your name, social media handle and contact details, because it's in our legitimate interest to make sure we can properly respond to your query.
We use essential cookies to facilitate the operation of our website and may use the information collected from these cookies to enforce our terms and conditions and policies, protect our rights and interests, or those of all our other users or third parties, including to detect any malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, and prosecute those responsible for that activity and detect and fix errors and security incidents.
When you use our website and consent to our use of non-essential cookies we will collect information about how you use our website including your device type, operating system, browser type, browser settings, IP address, language settings, dates and times of connecting, browsing behaviour and links clicked. We use this information to improve our website and to better understand how people use it. More detail on the information we collect and how we do this is set out in our Cookie Policy below.
When you sign up to receive our news, offers, events or other initiatives regarding our service or other services that may be of interest to you, we will collect your name and email address to provide you with our updates in line with any preferences you have told us about. You can unsubscribe from our updates at any time by responding to any email you receive from us to tell us you wish to unsubscribe or by emailing privacy at klu dot ai.
It is against our terms of service and privacy policy to scrape, or otherwise collect information from, our site through automated means. Unauthorized scraping or data collection activities are strictly prohibited and may result in legal action.
If you are a business recipient we may send you our updates because we believe that you will be interested in our services and it is in our legitimate interests to promote our business to interested parties.
If you are a consumer we may send you our updates either when (i) you are an existing customer as it is in our legitimate interests to promote our other offerings you may be interested in; or (ii) if you are not an existing customer, when you have opted in to receive our updates, in this case we rely on your consent to contact you.
If our business is sold we may process your personal information for this purpose because we have a legitimate interest to ensure our business can be continued by the buyer. If you object to our use of your personal information in this way, the buyer of our business may not be able to provide services to you.
Where is your data stored and how long do we keep it?
We store your data in Europe. All data is encrypted at transit and at rest using industry-leading encryption. When working with third parties we may need to transfer your personal data to other countries. Whenever we transfer your personal information outside of the EU, we ensure it receives additional protection as required by law. To keep this privacy policy as short and easy to understand as possible, we haven't set out the specific circumstances when each of these protection measures are used. You can contact us at privacy at klu dot ai for more detail on this.
We will only retain your personal information for as long as we need it. We consider the nature, sensitivity, and purpose we collected your data for when deciding when it's time to delete it. We will in some cases keep your data for longer periods of time than necessary for the original purpose we collected it for if we need to do this to meet our legal, accounting or regulatory requirements.
We also carefully anonymize your personal data so that it can no longer be associated with you, and because this information is anonymized, we can use it indefinitely without notifying you. We use this anonymized information to improve our business, and we also never sell any anonymous or personal information to other businesses, even to help keep our service as low priced as possible.
