Knaak Knaak Media & Marketing (“Knaak Knaak”) provides you with this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) to let you know Knaak Knaak’s information collection and usage policies and practices that apply to information collected on this website (the “Site”). By using the Site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy and agree to be bound by the Site’s Terms of Use, available here. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Use, you are not allowed to use the Site, and must discontinue your use of the Site immediately.
Information Collection
When you visit the Site, Knaak Knaak, through its technology provider, www.siteground.com (“SiteGround”), collects information about you and your browsing habits. The information we collect depends on the pages of our website you visit and what you do during your visit.
When you provide information on the Site, SiteGround receives and processes it on our behalf. SiteGround will collect, use, and share your information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy, which means that SiteGround, in connection with its own business, will have all the rights with respect to your information that Knaak Knaak does, but only to the extent necessary for SiteGround and Knaak Knaak to fulfill their respective contractual obligations to one another.
Knaak Knaak may collect information from you automatically when you visit our website, which may include the name of the domain and host from which you access the Internet; the Internet protocol (IP) address of your computer; the type of browser and software operating system you use; web log data, including the date and time you access our website; and the Internet address of the website from which you linked to our site.
Several companies offer tools that allow people to browse the web anonymously. We cannot provide you a personalized experience if you use these tools, because we cannot recognize you and your computer. However, we want to ensure you know of their existence. Because Knaak Knaak does not track your online activities over time and across third party websites in order to provide targeted advertising, Knaak Knaak does not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals.
Knaak Knaak may also use cookies to enhance browsing on our website. “Cookies” are small files or records that are placed on your computer’s hard drive to collect information about your activities on our website. You can choose to have your browser warn you every time a cookie is being sent to you, and you can turn off cookie placement. If you refuse, your overall browsing experience can be affected and may prevent you from fully using the Site. To learn more about cookies, visit www.allaboutcookies.org. Knaak Knaak may also use “message format” and “message open” sensing technologies to enable Knaak Knaak to recognize whether you have enabled your email program to receive HTML emails. If so, this information is associated with your email address so that we can send subsequent messages to you in HTML format. The “message open” sensing technology allows us to recognize whether you have opened our email messages. We can only detect this if you have enabled your email program to receive HTML emails.
For most of the browsing services on the Site, Knaak Knaak does not require your personal information. There are portions of the Site where you will be given the option to provide information about you. The information that you may be asked to provide may include your name, email address, telephone number, and address. Depending on your request and other circumstances, other information may also be collected. It is your discretion and determination whether to provide such information. If you use the Site to inquire about a property or contact a real estate agent, broker, or office, the information you have provided may be shared with a that real estate agent, broker, or brokerage.
Use of the Information
Knaak Knaak uses the information it collects (whether submitted by you or automatically collected) to respond to your requests, to provide you with information that Knaak Knaak thinks may be of interest to you, and to operate its business.

Knaak Knaak has implemented technical measures to protect against the risks of unauthorized access to, erroneous disclosure of, and unlawful interception of Personally Identifiable Information. You should know, however, that Knaak Knaak cannot fully eliminate such risks.
In addition, Knaak Knaak may disclose aggregated data and statistics in order to describe the Site to prospective partners, advertisers, and other third parties, to improve and market its products and services, and for other lawful purposes. Additionally, Knaak Knaak may disclose part or all of a user’s personal information when Knaak Knaak believes, in good faith, that the law requires or compels such disclosure, or when Knaak Knaak has good faith reason to believe that disclosure is necessary to protect Knaak Knaak’s rights or property, the rights of another user, or to prevent harm. Further, Knaak Knaak may disclose information provided by you as part of any merger, sale, acquisition, or other acquisition of some or all of Knaak Knaak or its assets.
Knaak Knaak may choose to buy or sell assets or may transfer the Site, or permit someone else to operate or otherwise take responsibility for the Site or a successor version thereof. Knaak Knaak may share and/or transfer your information in connection with the evaluation of and entry into such transactions. Also, if Knaak Knaak (or its assets) are acquired, or if Knaak Knaak goes out of business, enters bankruptcy, or goes through some other change of control, your personal information could be one of the assets transferred to or acquired by a third party.
Knaak Knaak reserves the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any information that it believes is necessary to comply with the law or a court order or protect the rights, property, or safety of our company, our employees, our users, or others.
