Privacy Notice

Last Updated: February 21, 2025

This Privacy Notice describes how we collect and use your personal information in relation to itk websites, applications, products, services, events, and experiences that reference this Privacy Notice (together, “itk Offerings”).

See the agreement governing your access to your itk account and the itk Data Privacy FAQ for more information about how we handle content and how our customers can control their content through itk Offerings. This Privacy Notice also does not apply to any products, services, websites, or content that are offered by third parties or have their own privacy notice.

How We Use Personal Information

We use your personal information to operate, provide, and improve itk Offerings. Our purposes for using personal information include:

  • Provide itk Offerings: We use your personal information to provide and deliver itk Offerings and process transactions related to itk Offerings, including registrations, subscriptions, purchases, and payments.

  • Recommendations and Personalization: We use your personal information to recommend itk Offerings that might be of interest to you, identify your preferences, and personalize your experience with itk Offerings.
  • Comply with Legal Obligations: In certain cases, we have a legal obligation to collect, use, or retain your personal information. For example, we collect bank account information from itk Marketplace sellers for identity verification.
  • Communicate with You: We use your personal information to communicate with you in relation to itk Offerings via different channels (e.g., by phone, email, chat) and to respond to your requests.
  • Marketing: We use your personal information to market and promote itk Offerings.

Cookies

To enable our systems to recognize your browser or device and to provide, market, and improve itk Offerings, we and approved third parties use cookies and other identifiers. For more information about cookies and how we use them, please read our Cookie Notice.

How We Share Personal Information

Information about our customers is an important part of our business and we are not in the business of selling our customers’ personal information to others. We share personal information only as described below and with itk.asia, Inc. and the affiliates that itk.asia, Inc. controls that are either subject to this Privacy Notice or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Notice.

  • Transactions Involving Third Parties: We make available to you services, software, and content provided by third parties for use on or through itk Offerings. You can tell when a third party is involved in your transactions, and we share information related to those transactions with that third party. For example, you can order services, software, and content from sellers using the itk Marketplace and we provide those sellers information to facilitate your subscription, purchases, or support.
  • Third-Party Service Providers: We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include: delivering itk hardware, sending communications, processing payments, assessing credit and compliance risks, analyzing data, providing marketing and sales assistance (including advertising and event management), conducting customer relationship management, and providing training. These third-party service providers have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes. Further, they must process that information in accordance with this Privacy Notice and as permitted by applicable data protection law.
  • Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy businesses or services. In such transactions, personal information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the individual consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that itk or substantially all of its assets are acquired, your information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
  • Protection of Us and Others: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce or apply our terms and other agreements, or protect the rights, property, or security of itk, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud prevention and detection and credit risk reduction.
  • At Your Option: Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when personal information about you might be shared with third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.
