How we protect your personal information

Protecting your data and your privacy
We agree to hold your account information, lists and data in strict confidence. We do not now, nor will we ever, rent, sell or in any way share your data with any third party. The only time Kindful will ever share ANY information related to your Kindful account with an outside organization is if (a) the outside organization is processing your payment for the Kindful Service and requires certain information necessary for the transaction, (b) the outside organization is the federal government or other agency empowered to require us to divulge your personal or account information, (c) Kindful is highlighting examples of your templates, campaigns or case studies and have obtained your permission prior to the divulging of such information, or (d) Kindful is reporting on or using our overall customer base and activity, in which case we will only divulge general, aggregate (non-personally identifiable) information.
In creating your Kindful account, you will create a username and a password that controls access to your account and all of the data stored within that account. The Kindful Service stores an encrypted version of your password for added security, but you understand and acknowledge that you are ultimately responsible for maintaining control of that username and password and ensuring its proper use by authorized personnel only.

Things you may not do
The following list outlines many things, in addition to those already mentioned in this Agreement, which you may not do while using the Kindful Service. Doing any one of these things may result in the suspension or termination of your Kindful account, immediately and without warning. By using the Kindful Service, you explicitly agree not to:
- use the Kindful Service to break any local, state, Federal or international laws or regulations, including but not limited to those related to spamming, e-commerce, obscenity, defamation or privacy;

Your data, and our storage thereof
Your Kindful account includes certain data storage – for lists, campaigns and content, and response tracking information. We may choose to set limits on how much information may be stored, and may change those limits at any time. Should we impose any such limits, we will provide you with reasonable advance notice of such limits, and, when possible, offer you the option to either obtain more storage at an additional cost or maintain a lower level of storage without incurring additional costs. Kindful is not responsible for the loss of any data in the event that you fail to request either more storage space or a transfer of existing data to another location and data is lost due to a change in limits or by your exceeding the existing limits.
Kindful’s API
Kindful provides API Calls (“Calls”) to facilitate certain account activities without relying on the Kindful application interface. These Calls are governed by the same policies set forth herein. It is Kindful’s sole discretion to determine permissible use of the API and Calls. Any improper use of the API, as solely determined by Kindful, will be grounds for immediate termination of Customer’s account.
Payment for services
Like most commercial services, Kindful asks that you, the Customer, pay us, the Company, for your use of the Kindful Service in a timely manner. Monthly activity may be invoiced monthly or annually based on your preference and due no more than 15 days from the invoice date. Depending upon your plan you may also be charged transaction fees on the amount of online donations, event registration fees or other revenues that are processed online through the Kindful Service. All fees and prices are in US dollars. By entering credit card and billing information into the Kindful system, you are authorizing us to charge that card for services rendered and according to the pricing specified in your Kindful plan or a separate addendum to this Agreement, should such an addendum exist. All credit card transactions are handled through a secure HTTPS connection with a trusted third-party credit card processor. Lastly, like most commercial services, Kindful reserves the right to suspend your account in the event you fail to pay the appropriate account fees on time, until such time as proper payment is received.
Right to inspect
For the purposes of providing you service and support, and to ensure that the terms of this Agreement are being followed, we reserve the right to inspect and monitor your account and data at any time, without notice, and to limit access to your account at any time should we have reason to believe that you have already, or may at some point in the future, violate any terms set forth in this Agreement.
Termination
Termination requests should be in writing, via email to support@kindful.com or by phone to 888.854.0933. Inactivity does not constitute automatic termination. If you have elected a month-to-month agreement, your request to terminate will take effect at the end of the month in which such request was made. If you have elected a longer agreement term, your request to terminate will take effect at the end of your selected contract term. In either case, the date the termination takes effect will be called the Termination Date. Customer is responsible for payment for any services rendered up through the Termination Date. Kindful will not prorate charges to the Termination Date and the Customer will not receive a credit or refund for any unused services. If Customer has paid in advance for a certain period of time for the Kindful Service or any portion thereof and terminates prior to the completion of that period, that payment is non-refundable.
Kindful may terminate this Agreement at any time by notifying the Customer by email. If we terminate this Agreement without cause, we will prorate any fees you have prepaid.
Should we be forced to terminate your account or you terminate your account, we will work with you to help retrieve contact information and other appropriate data from your account within 30 days of termination of your account. After such 30 days, Kindful makes no guarantees regarding the availability of your data, and Kindful shall not be liable for the availability of your data for more than thirty days following the date of termination by either party.
Disputing Charges
Any dispute to a charge on your bill must be made within 60 days of the date of the bill that initially contained the charge. Disputes can only be made in writing, via email to support@kindful.com or by phone to 888.854.0933.
