This Privacy Policy applies to personally identifiable information KAPSARC collects through the KAPSARC website (the “Website”) and does not apply to information KAPSARC collects in any other manner. Your use of the Website is subject to this Privacy Policy and KAPSARC’s Terms of Use.

These companies and individuals will have access to your personal information as necessary to perform their functions.
KAPSARC may disclose such information if legally required to do so, if requested to do so by a governmental entity or if it believes in good faith that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process; (b) protect the rights or property of KAPSARC; (c) prevent a crime or protect national security; or (d) protect the personal safety of users or the public.
KAPSARC may also share aggregated anonymous information about visitors to the Website with its partners and other third parties so that they may understand the kinds of visitors that visit the KAPSARC site and how those visitors use the site.
In the event that KAPSARC contracts with a third party to provide some part of the information or service that you have requested, KAPSARC may provide your information to such third party, or such third party may collect information from you on KAPSARC’s behalf. KAPSARC uses reliable service providers who undertake to put in place appropriate security measures to ensure a reasonable level of protection. Such third parties will have access to personal information solely for the purposes of performing the services for which they have been engaged. KAPSARC does not guarantee the information security of any third party service providers.
