Please read this Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) fully and carefully before using Teachify (the “Site” or “Teachify) and the services, features, content or applications offered by Kaik, Inc.(“we”, “us” or “our”) (together with the Site, the “Services”). This Privacy Policy explains how Kaik collects, uses, and shares information about you when you use the Site, or otherwise interact with us. It also goes over how you can exercise your privacy rights and choices.
This Privacy Policy applies when you access or use the Services offered through the Site, or otherwise interact with us. Your access to our Site and use of the Services is also governed by our Terms of Service. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Privacy Policy can be found in our Terms of Service. If you have any questions, please contact us at: legal@kaik.com.
You may elect whether to provide us with your personal data. However, if you elect not to provide the required information, or if you provide uncomplete or incorrect information, you may not be able to use all or any portion of the Site and/or the Services.
Upon your use of the Site and/or the Services, you will be deemed to have acknowledged that you have read and understood and agree Kaik’s collection, processing, usage and storage of your personal data in accordance with the Privacy Policy.
Data protection laws vary among countries, with some providing more protection than others. Regardless of where your information is processed, we apply common protections described in the Privacy Policy.
When you use or access the Services or otherwise interact with us, we may collect a variety of personal information about you and others, as described below. “Personal information” is any information that enables us to identify you, either directly or indirectly in conjunction with any other information we hold, by reference to an identifier such as name, address, date of birth or government identification number.
Personal information that you provide to us: We may collect information that you provide when using the Site and the Services, such as when you: (1) create an account; (2) subscribe to the Services; (3) participate in events or promotions; (4) send questions or comments via email or live chat; (5) interact with our sales or customer support team; (6) apply for a job with us online; (7) fill out surveys; or (8) otherwise communicate with us through or about the Services. The types of personal information that you provide may include your name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, credit card information, and other contact or identifying information that you choose to provide. We store, process, and maintain files and content that you create and/or upload using the Services, as well as other data related to your account in order to provide the Services to you.
We do not store any credit card information we receive except as necessary to complete and satisfy our rights and obligations with regard to such transaction, billing arrangement, and/or as otherwise authorized by you.
Information about use of the Services: Our servers automatically collect usage information about your use of the Services, including but not limited to the webpages visited, number of log-ins, data displayed or clicked on, actions taken, your language preference, and other login information. We may collect automated error reports in the case of software malfunctions, which may contain some or all the information in your account and content and may be reviewed to help resolve problems with the Services.
We collect information from the device and application you use to access the Services. Device data mainly means your IP address, operating system version, device type, device ID/MAC address, system and performance information, and browser type. If you are on a mobile device, we also collect the UUID for that device.
Our web servers keep log files that record data each time a device accesses those servers. The log files contain data about the nature of each access, including originating IP addresses, internet service providers, the files viewed on our site (e.g., HTML pages, graphics, etc.), operating system versions, device type and timestamps.
If you arrive at Kaik from an external source (such as a link on another website or in an email), we record information about the source that referred you to us.
Information from third parties and integration partners: We may obtain personal information from third parties and combine such information with the information that we collect through the Services and such information may be used for the purposes described in the Privacy Policy. For example, you give permission to those third parties to share your information with us or where you have made that information publicly available online, or you create or log into your account through a third-party social networking site or one of our integration partners, we will have access to certain information from that service such as your name and account information.
Cookie. We may adopt Cookie or other technology that enable us to collect or share data, based on which we improve the Site and/or the Services, or develop new services or functions of the Site. Cookie is the identification code transmitted by us to your computer or device that enables us to identify your computer or device and provide information about the method and time that users visit or use the Site or the Services, the number of visitors, as well as tracks the activities on the Site. The Company may connect the data of Cookie with personal data. You may refuse to use Cookie by choosing appropriate settings on your browser. However, if you refuse to use Cookie, you may not be able to use all functions of the Site and/or the Services.
Our primary purposes for using your personal information are to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience, for customer support, advertising and marketing communications, research and service development, and to keep the Site and users safe and secure.
Especially, we may use your information for the following purposes:
We only share your personal information with third parties under the circumstances described below. We will not share your information for reasons not described in the Privacy Policy before obtaining your consent. We do not sell or otherwise disclose personal information we collect about you for monetary or other valuable consideration.
We may share your personal information in the following ways:
With Integrated Services: When you choose to integrate third party services with the Site, your personal information may be shared with these third parties. We recommend that you read the terms of use and privacy policies of those third-party services to understand how they collect, use, and share your personal information.
With Your Consent: Kaik may send your personal information to a third party when you give us consent to do so or at your direction. For example, this may occur when we complete a transaction at your request.
With Service Providers: We may share personal information with vendors, consultants, payment processors, and other service providers that provide us with certain services and process personal information on our behalf. These services may include providing customer support, performing business and sales analysis, supporting our website functionality, facilitating payment processing, and supporting contests, surveys, and other features offered on the Site. These service providers are not permitted to use your personal information for any other purpose, and their use of such personal information will be subject to appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
With Business Partners: We sometimes partner with third parties to offer you events, promotions, contests and other programs. To participate in these offers, you may be required to provide your email address and other personal information. We will only share your email address and other personal information with a business partner when you expressly authorize us to do so.
With Advertising and Analytics Partners: We may share usage data with third-party advertisers, advertisement networks, and analytics providers through cookies and other similar technologies. These third parties may collect information sent by your computer, browser, or mobile device in response to a request for content, such as unique identifiers, your IP address, or other information about your computer or device.
With Affiliates: We may share personal information with our parent, affiliates, and other companies under common control and ownership, subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
We may also share your personal information in connection with a substantial corporate transaction, such as a sale of our business, a divestiture, merger, consolidation, or asset sale, in the event of bankruptcy, or in preparation for any of these events. Any other entity which buys us or becomes part of our business will have the right to continue to use your personal information, but only in the manner set out in this Privacy Policy unless you agree otherwise.
Legal Disclosures: We may be required to disclose personal information if directed by a court of law or other governmental entity. Without limiting the foregoing, we reserve the right to disclose such information where we have a good faith basis to believe that such action is necessary to:
(1) comply with applicable laws, regulations, court orders, government and law enforcement agencies’ requests;
(2) protect and defend our or a third party’s rights and property, or the safety of the Site, us, our users, our employees, or others; or
(3) prevent, detect, investigate and take measures against criminal activity, fraud and misuse or unauthorized use of the Site and/or to enforce our Terms of Services or other agreements or policies.
To the extent permitted by law, we will attempt to give you prior notice before disclosing your information in response to such a request.
You may access, update, or delete your personal information, as well as choose what communications you would like to receive from us. Depending on your location, you may have additional rights related to your personal information (see the “Jurisdiction Specific Provisions” section below for more information about location-specific privacy rights). You can also choose not to provide us with certain personal information, but that may result in you being unable to use certain features of the Site because that information may be required for you to register for an account, purchase the Services, participate in our promotional offerings, get customer support, or engage in other activities on the Site.
Accessing, Updating, and Deleting Your Personal Information
You can access and update certain personal information about you by visiting your account settings. You can also submit a data privacy request to receive a copy of personal information that we hold about you, free of charge.
If you believe that any personal information that we are holding about you is incorrect or incomplete, we will work with you to make corrections deemed necessary. Note that we may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.
If you’d like Kaik to delete your account or delete personal information it holds about you, you can submit a deletion request. Note that when we delete your account, personal information that you have shared with others (for example, through comments or an intake form) may still be visible. Kaik will also retain certain personal information about you where reasonably necessary to comply with our legal obligations or for our legitimate business purposes.
Data Privacy Requests and Verification
You can request to access, update, or delete your personal information by emailing us at hi@useteachify.com from the email address associated with your account. If you would like to make a request under the privacy laws of your jurisdiction, please let us know where you reside and which rights you’d like to exercise. For more information about exercising your jurisdiction-specific privacy rights, please see section ‘Jurisdiction Specific Provisions’ below.
To protect your privacy, we need to verify your identity before we process your data privacy request. As part of this process, you may contact us via the email address associated with your account. Depending on the nature of the request, we may also need to obtain additional information necessary for us to verify your identity. You may designate an authorized agent to make a data privacy request on your behalf. To do so, we will need to receive written permission by you or a valid power of attorney, and we may also verify the validity of the request directly with you.
Controlling Promotional Communications
You can opt out of receiving some or all of our promotional communications through the unsubscribe link in the email or by emailing hi@useteachify.com.
If you opt out of promotional communications, we may still send you transactional communications, such as service announcements, administrative and legal notices, and information about your account, without offering you the opportunity to opt out of these communications. If you no longer wish to use the Site or receive any communications from us (except for those that are legally required), please contact hi@useteachify.com to have us delete your account.
Please note that opting out of promotional email communications only affects future communications from us. If we have already provided your information to a third party (such as a credit card processing partner) before you changed your preferences or updated your information, you may have to change your preferences directly with that third party.
Do Not Track Signals
Your browser may give you the option to send a “Do Not Track” instruction to websites you visit. However, since there is no accepted standard for how a website should respond to this instruction, we do not currently recognize or respond to these signals.
We will adopt appropriate technologies and measures, such as firewall, data encryption, building access control or data access restrictions and other physical control over such personal data, to protect your personal data in accordance with the law to prevent the loss, misuse, unauthorized use, accessing, disclosure or change, or damage or destruction of such personal data. However, no method of data transmission or storage system is absolutely secure, and we cannot guarantee that your personal information will not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed in the event of a breach of any of our security measures.
You are solely responsible for the custody of your user account, password and any other information about your account with the Site and you should avoid any unauthorized accessing of your account by any third party. In the event of any unauthorized use of your personal data or any safety concern in respect of your personal data, please promptly report it to us by sending us an email at legal@kaik.com.
Unless requested by governmental authority or by law, or unless sharing the personal data with a third party in accordance with the Privacy Policy, we shall keep your personal data confidential.
We will procure that any third party that obtains, processes and uses your personal data pursuant to the Privacy Policy will assume certain confidentiality and protection obligations in respect of your personal data that are the same as those requested by the Privacy Policy. However, if you suffer any damage or loss attributable to the act or omission of such third party, except for, to the commercially reasonable extent, assisting you in claiming your right against such third party, the Company shall not be liable for any such damage and loss.
We save personal information we collect for as long as it is necessary for the purposes for which the personal information is collected and processed. Generally, we will keep your personal information until your account is deleted, or as needed to provide you with our services. We will also retain certain personal information to comply with our legal obligations or for our legitimate business purposes.

You acknowledge and understand that we are not involved in any collection of personal data conducted by Third-Party Applications they are not controlled by us. Third-Party Application shall set up its own privacy policy that governs such Third-Party Application’s handling of your personal data. We shall never be liable for such handling of your personal data.
If any third party thereafter takes over the Site and/or the Services, or if we merge with or are acquired by a third party, we will transfer your personal data to such third party in accordance with the requests for protection of personal data set forth in the Privacy Policy.
The Privacy Policy does not create rights enforceable by third parties or require disclosure of any personal information relating to users of the Site.
We may, from time to time, amend the Privacy Policy. You are obliged to check and review the latest version of the Privacy Policy at all times. If required by law, the Company will provide you with a notice stating the changes to the Privacy Policy, and such notice may be made, orally or in writing, by phone call, message, email, facsimile, electronic document, announcement on website or any other method that is sufficient to make you aware of such changes, including but not limited to providing, through the above methods, a link for accessing a web page that discloses such changes to the Privacy Policy.
