This Privacy Policy describes how Kaizen, Inc. ("Kaizen", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information in connection with our websites, open-source software, applications, and related services (collectively, the "Services"). By using our Services, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
01 Information We Collect
We aim to collect as little personal information as possible. Depending on how you interact with our Services, we may collect:
Information you provide
- Account & authentication data — such as your name, email address, and profile identifier when you sign in or authorize an application (for example, via OAuth).
- Communications — information you send us when you contact us for support, feedback, or inquiries.
Information collected automatically
- Usage & technical data — such as IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages, and interactions with the Services.
- Log data — diagnostic information generated to keep the Services secure and reliable.
02 How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, operate, maintain, and improve our Services.
- Authenticate users and authorize access to features you request.
- Respond to your questions, requests, and support needs.
- Monitor usage, detect abuse, and protect the security and integrity of our Services.
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.
03 Third-Party Authentication & Services
Our applications may allow you to sign in or connect through third-party identity providers and platforms. When you authorize such a connection, we receive only the information you consent to share, as governed by that provider's own privacy policy and permission scopes. We use this information solely to provide the functionality you requested and do not sell it.
We may rely on trusted third-party service providers (for hosting, analytics, and infrastructure) who process data on our behalf under appropriate confidentiality and security obligations.
04 How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information only in these limited circumstances:
- Service providers — with vendors who help us operate the Services under contractual safeguards.
- Legal requirements — when required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request.
- Protection of rights — to protect the rights, property, and safety of Kaizen, our users, or the public.
- Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, subject to this policy.
05 Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize it.
06 Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
07 Your Rights & Choices
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:
- Access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you.
- Withdraw consent or revoke an application's authorization at any time.
- Object to or restrict certain processing of your information.
- Request a copy of your information in a portable format.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.
08 Children's Privacy
Our Services are not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to remove it.
09 Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Services after any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.
