With Whom and How We Share Your Information
This section provides additional information on how we share your personal information with our Affiliates, service providers, and other third parties.
We share personal information with your consent, when you direct us to share it with others, as necessary to complete your transactions, or to provide the services you have requested or authorized. For example, when you provide credit card information to make a donation, we will share that data with payment card processors and other entities as necessary for the processing of your payment and to prevent or detect fraud.
We also share personal information with the following types of other parties:
SERVICE PROVIDERS
We work with a variety of service providers who help us process your personal information such as to facilitate the operation of our Sites; support our marketing, communications, and messaging programs; and deliver messages to you on other platforms.
We require these service providers to agree to take reasonable security measures in the handling and storage of that information. When we share personal information about you with a service provider, we take steps to: (1) transmit it in a secure manner and (2) require the service provider to promise to keep that information confidential and use it only for the purpose of carrying out the activities we have directed them to perform.
We allow some service providers to compile and use certain information related to KPL and/or its supporters’ use of the services for internal purposes, like improving the functionality or security of the services KPL receives from the service provider. In addition, we may also permit service providers to create and use data that has been de-identified for broader business purposes, including sharing aggregated benchmarking data with their business partners and other customers.
- Third-party Advertisers. KPL may display targeted advertisements to you on non-KPL platforms, third-party websites, and social media sites, such as Facebook and Instagram. We target our advertisements to effectively and efficiently reach people who are most likely to be interested in our products and services. In doing so, we may share your personal information with third-party advertisers to serve targeted advertisements to specific individuals (i.e., one-to-one matching), including you, or to display ads to people who are similar to specific individuals (i.e., “look-alikes”) who have engaged with KPL. These practices help us engage in effective operations and enable our teams to communicate more effectively with the public.

MANAGE YOUR PRIVACY ONLINE
The internet, generally speaking, is not a private place. As you visit websites, use search engines, and conduct business on the internet, many different companies and organizations are gathering information about your online behavior by collecting information about your searches, visits, and transactions, and then matching that data with other information about you or leveraging algorithms to predict your behavior.
Like most websites, our Sites collect and process a range of information about their visitors to enable functionality and to deliver requested services. In addition to information we automatically collect for our purposes, our Digital Services include links to social media sites, links to other websites operated by third parties, and embedded media (e.g., YouTube videos) that may collect information about you when you choose to interact with them. When you access this content, you are interacting directly with the third parties, whose data collection and other processing activities are governed by their privacy policies, and not by this Statement. When you view embedded media — hosted on other platforms, but viewable through the buttons we provide — you will remain on our Sites but you will be interacting with these third party’s online environment. In these instances, we make clear that you are viewing external content when you click on buttons.
How to Disable Cookies
If you would like to reduce the web data collected about you while browsing the internet, you can purge and disable cookies in your web browser.
For your awareness, our Sites will still work if you disable cookies in your browser. Please note disabling cookies on your browser may impact the operability of other websites you visit and disabling cookies will not disable other technologies (such as web beacons, clear gifs, and single-pixel gifs), which the KPL uses on our Sites to support our operations and the security of our Sites.
