Information We Gather or Receive
AKALO will not sell or disclose your name, email address, or other personal information to third parties without your explicit consent except as specified in this policy. AKALO may require additional information, such as billing and payment information (including billing address, telephone number, and credit card information), a telephone number, and/or a physical address. Credit card information on an account may be stored and used for billing purposes.
AKALO automatically receives and records some information from your browser when you visit the site, such as your IP address, cookies, and data about which pages you visit on the site through the use of log files provided by our third-party tracking-utility partners. This information helps us analyze and understand how the site works for customers and visitors and provide a more personalized experience for members and visitors.
AKALO may receive or collect information (for example, email address) about a person who is not yet a registered AKALO customer in connection with certain AKALO features, including but not limited to: a non-customer subscribing to an AKALO newsletter or a non-customer requesting AKALO location near them. If you create an account using Apple Sign-In, Facebook Login or Sign in with Apple, AKALO may collect customer information such as the name and email address associated with the third-party service.
AKALO uses the information described in this policy to provide and improve our services for billing and payments, identification and authentication purposes, contact members or interested parties, and general research and aggregate reporting. AKALO may also collect certain customer information through surveys, focus groups, video or audio conferences, and other research-related activities in which you choose to participate, including information that may be considered sensitive.
AKALO's Terms of Use require all account owners to be at least 18 years of age (or have the permission and supervision of a responsible parent or legal guardian). Therefore, this policy does not discuss the use of our site or services by minors.
Controlling Your Information
We want you to have control over your own information, so AKALO gives you the choice of providing, editing, or removing certain information.
You may change or correct your AKALO account information at any time, such as your email address, phone number, or credit card information.
For various reasons, AKALO may contact you about our services or your activity. Some of these messages are required transaction-related messages to customers. Other messages are not required, such as our newsletters, and you can control which optional messages you choose to receive by changing your settings in your account.
If you no longer wish to use AKALO's services or receive service-related messages, please email info@akalo.co.
Messages from AKALO
In order to fulfill orders and keep you informed, AKALO will contact you. Typically, messages are delivered by email and SMS, and every account must keep a valid email address and phone number on file to receive messages. In some situations, AKALO may contact you by telephone or physical mail to provide you with information about products and features you may find of interest or to provide you with customer support.
Some messages from AKALO are service-related and required for customers. Examples of service-related messages include, but are not limited to: a confirmation of your order or correspondence with the AKALO support team. These messages are not promotional in nature.
As a customer, AKALO may also send you messages about certain site features or your activity. AKALO may also send you news or updates about changes to our site or services.
With your consent, we may also send you SMS messages about your order or provide other information to you. You may opt out of receiving SMS messages by replying “STOP” to the sender at any time. Please note that our partners, including our shipping partners, may also contact you via SMS messages regarding your order. These messages are separate from any SMS messages AKALO sends.
AKALO offers optional email newsletters. When you register for an account or choose to subscribe, you will receive newsletters from us. Newsletters are available to both customers and non-customers. Customers may subscribe or unsubscribe from optional newsletters by following the instructions contained in the newsletter emails.
What Information We Share
AKALO will never sell or disclose your name, email address, or other personal information to third parties without your explicit consent, except as specified in this policy.
AKALO may release your personal information to a third party to comply with a subpoena or other legal requirement or when we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to comply with the law; prevent imminent physical harm or financial loss; or investigate or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, or violations of AKALO's Terms of Use.
AKALO uses other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf, and we need to share your information with them to provide products and services to you. Examples include but are not limited to fulfilling orders, processing payments, handling billing disputes and collections, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing customer service, and conducting or gathering research-related information.
In some cases, AKALO may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, member information is typically one of the transferred business assets. AKALO will transfer information about you if AKALO is acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, AKALO will notify you by email or by putting a prominent notice on the site before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
When you load a page on AKALO that has a social plug-in from a third-party site or service, such as a Like or Send button, you are also loading content from that third-party site. That site may request cookies directly from your browser. These interactions are subject to the privacy policy of the third-party site.
We can only speak for ourselves; this policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that AKALO does not own or control or individuals that AKALO does not employ or manage. If you provide your information to others on AKALO or throughout the Internet, different rules may apply to the use or disclosure of the information you provide to them. AKALO does not control the privacy policies of third parties, and you are subject to the privacy policies of those third parties where applicable. AKALO is not responsible for the privacy or security practices of other websites on the Internet, even those linked to or from the AKALO site. We encourage you to ask questions before you disclose your personal information to others.
We reserve the right to transfer information (including your personal data) to a third party in the event of a sale, merger, liquidation, receivership, or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of our company, provided that the third party agrees to adhere to the terms of our Privacy Policy and provided that the third party only uses your personal data for the purposes that you provided it to us. You will be notified in the event of any such transfer, and you will be allowed to opt out.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
AKALO uses various technologies to help us better understand how people use our site and services. AKALO may partner with third-party services using various tracking technologies, such as browser cookies or Flash cookies, to provide certain services or features. These technologies allow a partner to recognize your internet browser each time you visit AKALO.co but do not allow access to personally identifiable information from AKALO. AKALO does not have access or control over these third-party technologies, which are not covered by our privacy statement.
