express an interest in obtaining information about us or our products and
Services, when you participate in activities on the Services, or otherwise
when you contact us.

Sensitive Information. When necessary, with your consent or as
otherwise permitted by applicable law, we process the following categories
of sensitive information:

Payment Data. We may collect data necessary to process your payment if
you choose to make purchases, such as your payment instrument number,
and the security code associated with your payment instrument. All

notice link(s) here: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US.
All personal information that you provide to us must be true, complete, and
accurate, and you must notify us of any changes to such personal
information.
Information automatically collected
In Short: Some information — such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address
and/or browser and device characteristics — is collected automatically
when you visit our Services.
We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use, or
navigate the Services. This information does not reveal your specific
identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and
usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device
characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs,
device name, country, location, information about how and when you use
our Services, and other technical information. This information is primarily
needed to maintain the security and operation of our Services, and for our
internal analytics and reporting purposes.
Like many businesses, we also collect information through cookies and
similar technologies.
2. HOW DO WE PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?
In Short: We process your information to provide, improve, and administer
our Services, communicate with you, for security and fraud prevention, and
to comply with law. We may also process your information for other
purposes with your consent.
We process your personal information for a variety of reasons,
depending on how you interact with our Services, including:
To deliver and facilitate delivery of services to the user. We may
process your information to provide you with the requested service.
To respond to user inquiries/offer support to users. We may
process your information to respond to your inquiries and solve any
potential issues you might have with the requested service.
To send administrative information to you. We may process your
information to send you details about our products and services,
changes to our terms and policies, and other similar information.
To enable user-to-user communications. We may process your

3. WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR
PERSONAL INFORMATION?
In Short: We may share information in specific situations described in this
section and/or with the following third parties.
We may need to share your personal information in the following situations:
Business Transfers. We may share or transfer your information in
connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of
company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our
business to another company.
When we use Google Maps Platform APIs. We may share your
information with certain Google Maps Platform APIs (e.g., Google
Maps API, Places API). Google Maps uses GPS, Wi-Fi, and cell
towers to estimate your location. GPS is accurate to about 20
meters, while Wi-Fi and cell towers help improve accuracy when
GPS signals are weak, like indoors. This data helps Google Maps
provide directions, but it is not always perfectly precise.
4. DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING
TECHNOLOGIES?
In Short: We may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect
and store your information.
We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons
and pixels) to gather information when you interact with our Services.
Some online tracking technologies help us maintain the security of our
Services, prevent crashes, fix bugs, save your preferences, and assist with
basic site functions.
We also permit third parties and service providers to use online tracking
technologies on our Services for analytics and advertising, including to help
manage and display advertisements, to tailor advertisements to your
interests, or to send abandoned shopping cart reminders (depending on
your communication preferences). The third parties and service providers
use their technology to provide advertising about products and services
tailored to your interests which may appear either on our Services or on
other websites.
To the extent these online tracking technologies are deemed to be a
"sale"/"sharing" (which includes targeted advertising, as defined under the
applicable laws) under applicable US state laws, you can opt out of these
online tracking technologies by submitting a request as described below
under section "DO UNITED STATES RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC
PRIVACY RIGHTS?"
Specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can
refuse certain cookies is set out in our Cookie Notice.
Google Analytics
We may share your information with Google Analytics to track and analyze
the use of the Services. The Google Analytics Advertising Features that we
may use include: Google Analytics Demographics and Interests Reporting.
To opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics across the Services, visit
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. You can opt out of Google
Analytics Advertising Features through Ads Settings and Ad Settings for
mobile apps. Other opt out means include
http://optout.networkadvertising.org/ and
http://www.networkadvertising.org/mobile-choice. For more information on
the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms
page.
5. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?
In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the
purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice unless otherwise required by law.
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary
for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention
period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other
legal requirements).
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your
personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information,
or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information
has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your
personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion
is possible.
6. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?
In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of
organizational and technical security measures.
We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and
organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any
personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and
efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the
Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100%
secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or
other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and
improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we
will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of
personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You
should only access the Services within a secure environment.
7. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM
MINORS?
In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children
under 18 years of age.
We do not knowingly collect, solicit data from, or market to children under
18 years of age, nor do we knowingly sell such personal information. By
using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are
the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor
dependent’s use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from
users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the
account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from
our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from
children under age 18, please contact us at info@kinzlerimmigration.com.
8. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?
In Short: You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time,
depending on your country, province, or state of residence.
Withdrawing your consent: If we are relying on your consent to process
your personal information, which may be express and/or implied consent
depending on the applicable law, you have the right to withdraw your
consent at any time. You can withdraw your consent at any time by
contacting us by using the contact details provided in the section "HOW
CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?" below.
However, please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of the
processing before its withdrawal nor, when applicable law allows, will it
affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on
lawful processing grounds other than consent.
Cookies and similar technologies: Most Web browsers are set to accept
cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your
browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies. If you choose to remove
cookies or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of
our Services.
If you have questions or comments about your privacy rights, you may
email us at info@kinzlerimmigration.com.
9. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile
applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can
activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your
online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform
technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has
been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser
signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your
choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted
that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a
revised version of this Privacy Notice.
California law requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser
DNT signals. Because there currently is not an industry or legal standard
for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we do not respond to them at this
time.
10. DO UNITED STATES RESIDENTS HAVE
SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS?
In Short: If you are a resident of California, Colorado, Connecticut,
Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Montana,
Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah,
