4. Do We Use Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies?
In Short: Yes, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect and store your information.
We may use cookies and other tracking tools (such as web beacons and pixels) to gather data when you interact with our Services. These technologies help us improve user experience, analyze usage patterns, and personalize content.
For more details on how we use these technologies and how you can manage or disable cookies, please refer to our Cookie Notice.
5. How Do We Handle Your Social Logins?
In Short: If you sign up or log in using a social media account, we may access certain information from that account.
Our Services allow you to register or log in using your third-party social media accounts (like Facebook or Twitter). If you choose this option, we may receive specific information from your social media provider. This can include your name, email address, friends list, profile picture, and any other data you’ve made public on that platform.
We use this information only for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice or as clearly explained at the time of collection. Please note, we don’t control how your social media provider handles your personal information. To understand how they collect, use, and share your data—and how to adjust your privacy settings—we recommend reviewing their privacy policies.
6. How Long Do We Keep Your Information?
In Short: We retain your information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice, unless legally required to keep it longer.
Your personal information is stored only for as long as we need it to deliver our Services, comply with legal obligations (such as tax or accounting requirements), or fulfill other purposes stated in this Privacy Notice. We will not retain your data for longer than 60 months after your account is closed, unless required by law.
When we no longer have a legitimate business reason to process your personal data, we will either delete it, anonymize it, or, if that’s not immediately possible (for example, due to backup storage), securely store and isolate it until deletion is feasible.
7. How Do We Keep Your Information Safe?
In Short: We use a combination of technical and organizational measures to protect your information, but no system is completely secure.
We implement a variety of security practices designed to safeguard your personal data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. These include both technical protections (like encryption) and organizational policies (like access controls).
However, no method of data transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is entirely secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties (like hackers or cybercriminals) won’t bypass our security measures. You are responsible for accessing our Services through secure connections, and transmitting your information is done at your own risk.
8. Do We Collect Information from Minors?
In Short: No, we do not knowingly collect data from, or market to individuals under 18 years old.
We do not intentionally collect personal information from or target our marketing efforts towards children under 18. By using our Services, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old or that you are the parent or legal guardian of a minor using the Services with your consent.
If we discover that we have collected personal information from someone under 18, we will deactivate the account and promptly delete the data. If you become aware that we may have collected information from a minor, please contact us immediately at brahm.sharma@kodacars.com.
9. What Are Your Privacy Rights?
In Short: You can review, update, or delete your account information at any time.

To do so, please contact us using the details provided in the “How Can You Contact Us About This Notice?” section below.

10. Controls for Do-Not-Track (DNT) Features
Most web browsers, as well as some mobile devices and applications, offer a Do-Not-Track (DNT) feature that you can enable to signal your preference to not have your online browsing activity tracked.
Currently, there is no standardized technology or industry agreement on how to respond to DNT signals. As a result, we do not respond to DNT signals or other automated mechanisms that indicate your preference not to be tracked online.
If a standardized approach to online tracking is adopted in the future that we are required to follow, we will update this Privacy Notice accordingly.
