K & N will not voluntarily disclose your personal information to third parties except to those that help K & N market to customers, fulfill customer orders, or provide other services to K & N.  These third parties will be obligated to safeguard your personal information.  Your personal information will not be shared with third parties for use in their marketing of their products and services.

 

 

Compelled Disclosure of Personal Information

There may be times when K & N is compelled to disclose your personal information by law because of, for example, litigation or a request from a governmental or law enforcement agency.  We may also disclose information if we believe that such is reasonably necessary to enforce the terms and conditions of our products and services or to protect other customers.

Collection of Non-Personal Information

We also collect data in a form that cannot be used to uniquely identify or contact a particular individual.  This data is called non-personal information.  We may collect, use, and disclose non-personal information for any purpose.  An example of non-personal information is aggregated data regarding traffic to and views of our website and of particular products.
