This Privacy Policy statement is made by Kloud consisting of all the entities listed here (collectively, “Kloud”, “we”, “us” or “our”).

Kloud’s Privacy Commitment

KLOUD® has been worried about customer and user privacy. We ask for only the least amount of information necessary, gathering only what we believe is essential for doing business, or for the specific transaction at hand. We let customers know the information we have on them and allow them to opt out of specific engagements. We always avoid any compromises in customer privacy.

The goal of this policy is to make explicit the information we gather, how we will use it, and how we will not. This policy is unfortunately longer than we would like, but we must unambiguously address all the relevant cases. We will try and keep the language simple and direct as much as possible.

Scope of this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to the KLOUD® website that links to it. It also applies to the products and services provided by KLOUD through the website, our mobile applications, and applications posted by KLOUD® on Kloud’s online marketplace and in other third-party online marketplaces. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any of our websites, products or services that have a separate privacy policy.
