Please do not post or add personal data to your profile that you would not want to be publicly available.

Our Services are dynamic, and we often introduce new features, which may require the collection of new information. If we collect materially different personal data or materially change how we use your data, we will notify you and may also modify this Privacy Policy.

How We Use Your Data

How we use your personal data will depend on which Services you use, how you use those Services and the choices you make in your settings.

How We Share Information

Our Services

Profile:

Your profile is fully visible to all Members and customers of our Services. Subject to your settings, it can also be visible to others on or off of our Services (e.g., Visitors to our Services or users of third- party search engines).

Posts, Likes, Follows, Comments, Messages:

Our Services allow viewing and sharing information including through posts, likes, follows and comments.
When you share an article or a post (e.g., an update, image, video or article) publicly it can be viewed by everyone and re-shared anywhere (subject to your settings). Members, Visitors and others will be able to find and see your publicly-shared content, including your name (and photo if you have provided one).
In a group, posts are visible to others in the group. Your membership in groups is public and part of your profile.
Any information you share through companies’ or other organizations’ pages on our Services will be viewable by it and others who visit those pages.
When you follow a person or organization, you are visible to others and that “page owner” as a follower.
When you like or re-share or comment on another’s content (including ads), others will be able to view these “social actions” and associate it with you (e.g., your name, profile and photo if you provided it).
Subject to your settings, excerpts from your profile will appear on the services of others (e.g., search engine results, mail and calendar applications that show a user a “mini” Kenaana profile of the person they are meeting or messaging. “Old” profile information remains on these services until they update their data cache with changes you made to your profile.

Service Providers

We use others to help us provide our Services (e.g., maintenance, analysis, audit, payments, fraud detection, texting, audie and video chatting, marketing and development). They will have access to your information as reasonably necessary to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for other purposes.

For example:

When you make payments on our platform, your payment information may be processed by third-party payment service providers, including Stripe and others we may work with. These providers handle your data in accordance with their own privacy policies and applicable laws. Payments on our platform are securely processed through Stripe when used. Please refer to Stripe’s Privacy Policy for more information about how they handle your data.

Your Choices & Obligations

Rights to Access and Control Your Personal Data

We provide many choices about the collection, use and sharing of your data, from deleting or correcting data you include in your profile and controlling the visibility of your posts. We offer you settings to control and manage the personal data we have about you.

Delete Data – You can ask us to erase or delete all or some of your personal data (e.g., if it is no longer necessary to provide Services to you).
