Our Commitment To Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy, we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make a link to this notice available on our homepage and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested.

The Information We Collect

This notice applies to all information collected or submitted on the KudoTaps.com website and through our products and services. On some pages, you can make requests, place orders, and register to receive materials. The types of personal information collected may include:

Payment Information

When you make a purchase or subscribe to a service, your payment information (credit card number, expiration date, billing address) is collected and securely stored for processing the current transaction and any recurring subscription charges (such as the Smart Review Stand monthly subscription). Payment data is stored using industry-standard encryption and security measures.

By providing your payment information, you consent to us storing and charging the payment method on file for recurring subscription fees and any future authorized transactions. You may request removal of your stored payment information at any time by contacting us, which may result in cancellation of active subscriptions that require a payment method on file.

The Way We Use Information

We use the information you provide about yourself when placing a request only to complete that request, provide our services, process payments, manage subscriptions, and keep you informed on products and services offered by KudoTaps. Specifically, we may use your information to:

• Process and fulfill your orders
• Process recurring subscription payments for Smart Review Stand services
• Provide QR code analytics and NFC tap tracking for your account dashboard
• Facilitate review collection through Smart Review Stands
• Generate and manage your digital business card profiles
• Send you order confirmations, shipping updates, and service notifications
• Communicate important changes to our services, terms, or pricing
• Improve our products and services

We do not share this information with outside parties nor will we ever sell or transfer your personal information to an entity not part of KudoTaps.

We never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.

Third-Party Services & Data Sharing

Our services may interact with third-party platforms, including but not limited to Google, Yelp, Facebook, and TripAdvisor. When you use our Smart Review Stand or QR code services to direct customers to leave reviews on these platforms, you acknowledge that:

• Any information your customers provide on third-party review platforms is governed by those platforms' own privacy policies, not ours.
• KudoTaps does not collect, store, or have access to the content of reviews left on third-party platforms.
• KudoTaps does not collect personal information from your customers who scan QR codes or tap NFC devices, beyond anonymous analytics data (such as scan/tap counts, device type, and general location).
• We may use third-party payment processors to handle payment transactions. These processors have their own privacy policies governing their use of your payment information.

Analytics & Tracking Data

Our QR code and NFC products collect anonymous analytics data to provide you with insights into how your products are being used. This data may include the number of scans/taps, general geographic location, device type, and timestamps. This analytics data does not contain personally identifiable information of the individuals scanning or tapping your products.

Our Commitment To Data Security

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. This includes:

• SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmissions
• Secure storage of payment information using industry-standard encryption
• Regular security audits and monitoring
• Access controls limiting employee access to personal information

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active, as needed to provide you services, or as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. If you wish to cancel your account or request that we delete your personal information, please contact us at tap@kudotaps.com. We will respond to your request within 30 days.

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

• Access: You may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
• Correction: You may request that we correct inaccurate personal information.
• Deletion: You may request that we delete your personal information, subject to certain legal exceptions.
• Opt-Out: You may opt out of receiving marketing communications from us at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at tap@kudotaps.com.

Our Commitment To Children's Privacy

Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, we never collect or maintain information at our website from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will promptly delete that information.

Other Websites

Various websites may be linked to from this site, including third-party review platforms like Google and Yelp. If you link to another site, your privacy depends on the policy of that site. We strongly urge you to check their privacy policy. Not all sites guarantee that they will not share your personally identifiable information with others. KudoTaps is not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party websites or platforms.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
