Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Kofonu Xojemu ("we," "us," or "our"), operating at 709 S Stone Ave, Chicago, IL, collects, uses, and handles information in connection with your use of the website located at kofonu-xojemu.info (the "Site"). This policy is written to comply with applicable United States privacy law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), and applicable Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines. If you are a resident of California, additional rights described below apply to you.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in two primary ways. First, information you provide directly: when you use our contact form, you may submit your email address, your name (which is optional), and the content of your message. We do not require a phone number, mailing address, or payment information through the contact form. Second, information collected automatically: when you visit the Site, our web hosting and analytics infrastructure may automatically record certain technical information, including your IP address, the type of browser and operating system you use, the pages you visit on the Site, the date and time of your visit, and the referring URL if you arrived from another site. This technical data is collected through server logs and, if you consent, through cookies and similar tracking technologies as described in our Cookie Policy.

We do not collect sensitive personal information such as social security numbers, financial account numbers, health data, biometric data, or precise geolocation. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from individuals under the age of 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, we will delete that information promptly in accordance with COPPA.

2. How We Use Information

Information you submit through the contact form is used solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not use contact form submissions for marketing purposes, and we do not add contact form submitters to any mailing list without a separate, explicit opt-in. Technical information collected automatically is used to understand how the Site is used, to diagnose technical problems, to improve the Site's content and functionality, and to comply with legal obligations. If you have consented to analytics cookies, this technical data may be processed by third-party analytics providers as described in our Cookie Policy.

3. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may share information with service providers who assist us in operating the Site, including web hosting providers and email infrastructure providers. These service providers are contractually required to handle your information only as directed by us and in accordance with applicable law. We may also disclose information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental authority, or if we have a good-faith belief that disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Kofonu Xojemu, our users, or others.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies on the Site. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your browser. We use both strictly necessary cookies, which are required for the Site to function, and optional cookies for analytics and functionality purposes. You can manage your cookie preferences through the consent tool presented when you first visit the Site. For a full description of the cookies we use and how to control them, please see our Cookie Policy.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. Contact form submissions are retained for a reasonable period to allow us to respond to your inquiry and to maintain a record of correspondence. If you would like us to delete your information, please contact us using the details below.

6. Your Rights Under California Law

If you are a California resident, the CCPA and CPRA grant you specific rights with respect to your personal information. You have the right to know what personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources from which it was collected, the business purpose for collecting it, and the categories of third parties with whom it has been shared. You have the right to request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions. You have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. As noted above, we do not sell personal information. You have the right to non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected] or by phone at +1 708-354-9047. We will respond to verifiable requests within 45 days as required by law.

7. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we hold against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet and no method of electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or stored on the Site.

8. Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites. This Privacy Policy applies only to the Site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party sites, and we encourage you to review the privacy policies of any site you visit.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Changes take effect when posted. Continued use of the Site following the posting of changes constitutes your acknowledgment of those changes.
