Logging
Visitors to our website, and users of our web platform, should be aware that access is logged. The bulk of the logging is automatic and used only to verify, improve or detect quality-of-service issues for our visitors and users.
Certain access-related timestamps are logged to provide our application with the basis on which to determine trial periods, invoice periods and occasionally to aid with technical support.
Our platform, by its very nature, requires the input and sharing of some data including names, email addressess, and personal information. We only gather information needed to run the service and use best practices to keep the information safe.
Cookies
Our website, krispii.com, uses cookies to provide certain analytics data for our development and marketing teams.

Our third party providers may also require the use of cookies; none of your personal information, with the exception of the information required by our payment processor, is shared.
Voluntarily Submitted Information
At krispii, we don’t ask for more than we need. As such, the only information required to start and use an account is that required to run it; name, email address, and should you choose to become a paying user, a credit card.

From time to time, we may ask for personal information related to contests, surveys and more; all of this information submission is voluntary.

Security
krispii uses industry standard security measures to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. We encrypt all data in-transport between systems and are increasingly moving to completely encrypted data-at-rest. Although we make good faith efforts to store the information we collect as securely as possible, we cannot guarantee complete security.
