1. Acceptance of this Agreement

 

This Agreement governs your use of the Technology and Services (each as defined below) and is between you and Kyte. “Kyte,” “we,” “us,” and “our” mean Kyte Dynamics, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries and affiliated companies, including, without limitation, the entities listed in the remainder of this paragraph.

You further grant Kyte a license to use your username, first name and last initial, profile photo (if available), and/or other User profile information, including, without limitation, your ratings history, to attribute User Content to you in connection with such Uses, without notification to or approval by you. You agree that this license includes the right for other Users to access and use your User Content in conjunction with participation in the Services and as permitted through the functionality of the Services. In the interest of clarity, the license granted to Kyte herein shall survive termination of the Services or your account. Kyte reserves the right in its sole discretion to remove or disable access to any User Content from the Services, suspend or terminate your account at any time, or pursue any other remedy or relief available under equity or law if you post any User Content that violates this Agreement or any community or content guidelines we may publish or that we consider to be objectionable for any reason.

8. Communications with Kyte

For purposes of clarity, any text message you may receive from us regarding an order is a transactional text message, not a promotional text message.

 

9. Electronic Records

You agree that you will not remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, service mark, or other proprietary rights notices incorporated in or accompanying the Technology or the Services.

 

11. Payment Terms

 

(a) Prices & Charges. You understand that: (i) the prices for items displayed through the Services may differ from the prices offered or published by other businesses or third-party websites and that such prices may not be the lowest prices at which the items are sold and may change at any time without notice; (ii) Kyte has no obligation to itemize its costs, profits, or margins when publishing such prices; and (iii) pricing may change at any time, in the discretion of Kyte. For certain transactions, the subtotals shown at checkout are estimates that may be higher or lower depending on the final in-store totals. In those situations, Kyte reserves the right to temporarily authorize or place a hold on your payment method for an amount that may be greater than the amount shown at checkout and to charge your payment method the final price after checkout. You are liable for all transaction taxes (other than taxes based on Kyte’s income), including sales tax, use tax, goods and services tax, and other transaction taxes if applicable, on the Services provided under this Agreement. If transaction taxes, including sales tax, use tax, goods and services tax, and other transaction taxes, are applicable, Kyte reserves the right to charge you additional amounts on account of such taxes. In the event that the charge to your payment method may incorrectly differ from the total amount, including subtotal, fees, and gratuity, displayed to you at checkout and/or after gratuity is selected, Kyte reserves the right to make an additional charge to your payment method after the initial charge so that the total amount charged is consistent with the total amount displayed to you at checkout and/or after gratuity is selected. All payments will be processed by Kyte and/or its payments processor, using the preferred payment method designated in your account. If your payment details change, you or your card provider may provide us with updated payment details. We may use these new details or details from other payment methods on file in order to help prevent any interruption to your use of the Services. This includes our right to charge any payment method on file if your initial form of preferred payment fails. It is your responsibility to keep your billing information up to date.

 

(b) Strikethrough Pricing. Kyte may use strikethrough pricing for certain items (for example, when presenting a discount or promotional price for items). Kyte does not represent that the strikethrough price was the regular or former price of items for any particular period of time and the time period may vary widely depending on the items. Kyte may also rely on third parties to provide information about the regular or former price of items offered by those third parties, and Kyte’s strikethrough price therefore may represent the price that Kyte or a third party offered the item for sale for some period of time. The strikethrough price may also be an introductory price that was offered for a short period of time.

 

(c) Refunds

(i) Charges paid by you for completed and delivered orders are final and non-refundable. Kyte has no obligation to provide refunds or credits but may grant them gratuitously at Kyte’s sole discretion in each case. You may be required to provide identification information and/or a signature upon pick up and/or receipt of certain orders, as communicated at the time you place your order; if you fail to provide the required identification information or signature for such an order, you agree and acknowledge that we will not honor any claim that your order was not delivered and you may be subject to a non-refundable restocking fee. In order to make a claim for a refund or credit, please follow the procedures set out in the Technology or Services.

 

(d) Promotional Offers and Credits. Kyte, at its sole discretion, may make promotional offers with different features and different pricing to any User. These promotional offers are subject to the terms of this Agreement and may be valid only for certain Users as indicated in the offer. You agree that promotional offers: (i) may only be used by the intended audience, for the intended purpose, and in a lawful manner; (ii) may not be duplicated, sold, or transferred in any manner, or made available to the general public, unless expressly permitted by Kyte; (iii) are subject to the specific terms that Kyte establishes for such promotional offer; (iv) cannot be redeemed for cash or cash equivalent; and (v) are not valid for use after the date indicated in the offer. Kyte reserves the right to withhold or deduct credits or benefits obtained through a promotion, or to charge additional amounts that would have applied to the transaction had the promotion not applied, in the event that Kyte determines or believes on reasonable grounds that the redemption of the promotion or receipt of the credit or benefit was in error, fraudulent, illegal, or in violation of the applicable promotion terms or this Agreement. Kyte reserves the right to modify or cancel an offer at any time. Kyte may also offer gratuitous credits, which can be used for the Services. Any credit issued by Kyte under this Section 11(d) is valid for 6 months from the date of issue except to the extent prohibited under applicable law and may not be redeemed for cash or cash equivalent; however, your credits may expire earlier if your account is deactivated. Upon expiration, credits will be removed from your account. Expired credits are no longer redeemable and cannot be used towards any order.

 

(e) Fees for Services. Kyte may change the fees that Kyte charges you as we deem necessary or appropriate for our business, including but not limited to Delivery Fees, Service Fees, Small Order Fees, and Surge Fees. Kyte may offer different pricing to customers based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to geographic areas or usage. Kyte may also charge you additional fees as required by law. Kyte may charge you a Service Fee for the convenience of ordering through the Kyte platform. None of the Service Fee, Delivery Fee, Small Order Fee, Surge Fee, or any other fee charged to you by Kyte is for any right to access, install, or use any Technology.

 

(f) Referral Program. Under Kyte’s referral program (“Referral Program”), Kyte offers its registered Users in good standing the opportunity to earn gratuitous Kyte credits as promotional rewards by inviting their eligible friends to register as new Kyte Users and place their initial order through the Services by using a unique referral ID link (“Personal Link”). For each eligible referral generated through a User’s Personal Link, the User may receive a gratuitous credit as specified on Kyte’s Referral Program page. You agree that we may change the terms and conditions of the Referral Program or terminate the Referral Program at any time. If you do not agree to these changes, you should immediately cease participating in the Referral Program. Any credit issued by Kyte under this Section 11(f) is valid for 6 months from the date of issue except to the extent prohibited under applicable law and may not be redeemed for cash or cash equivalent; however, your credits may expire earlier if your account is deactivated. Upon expiration, credits will be removed from your account. Expired credits are no longer redeemable and cannot be used towards any order. Credits issued to a User’s Kyte account may only be redeemed through that respective brand’s Services.

 

12. Arbitration Agreement

 

THIS SECTION 12 OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE REFERRED TO AS THE “ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.”

 

Please read this Section 12 carefully. It requires that any and all claims between you and Kyte be resolved by binding arbitration or in small claims court and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, prevents you from pursuing a class action or similar proceeding in any forum. Arbitration is required if your country of residence enforces arbitration agreements. (a) Scope of Arbitration Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before, on, or after the effective date of this Agreement. You agree that any dispute or claim arising out of or relating in any way to the subject matter of the Agreement, to your access or use of the Services as a User of the Services, to any advertising or marketing communications regarding Kyte or the Services, to any products or services sold or distributed through the Services that you received as a User of our Services, or to any aspect of your relationship or transactions with Kyte as a User of our Services (this includes, without limitation, any contract claim, tort claim, statutory claim, or claim for unfair competition), will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law, either you or Kyte may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). Either you or Kyte may also, to the extent permitted by applicable law, apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief on the ground that without such relief the arbitration provided in this paragraph may be rendered ineffectual. You may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify, so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis.

 

CASES MAY BE FILED IN THE FUTURE THAT ATTEMPT TO ASSERT CLASS ACTION CLAIMS, AND BY ACCEPTING THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT YOU ELECT NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN SUCH CASES. IF YOU AGREE TO ARBITRATION WITH KYTE, YOU ARE AGREEING IN ADVANCE THAT YOU WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN OR SEEK TO RECOVER MONETARY OR OTHER RELIEF IN ANY SUCH CLASS, COLLECTIVE, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE LAWSUIT. INSTEAD, BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU MAY BRING YOUR CLAIMS AGAINST KYTE IN AN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. IF SUCCESSFUL ON SUCH CLAIMS, YOU COULD BE AWARDED MONEY OR OTHER RELIEF BY AN ARBITRATOR.

 

(b) Informal Resolution. You and Kyte agree that good-faith informal efforts to resolve disputes often can result in a prompt, low-cost, and mutually beneficial outcome. You and Kyte therefore agree that, before either you or Kyte demands or attempts to commence arbitration against the other, we will personally meet and confer, via telephone or videoconference, in a good-faith effort to resolve informally any claim covered by this mutual Arbitration Agreement. For sake of clarification only, the informal dispute resolution conferences shall be individualized such that a separate conference must be held each time either party intends to commence individual arbitration; multiple individuals initiating claims cannot participate in the same informal telephonic dispute resolution conference, unless mutually agreed to by the parties. If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference, but you shall also fully participate in the conference. The party initiating the claim must give notice to the other party in writing of their intent to initiate an informal dispute resolution conference, which shall occur within 60 days after the other party receives such notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties. To notify Kyte that you intend to initiate an informal dispute resolution conference, email admin@kyte.aero, providing your name, telephone number associated with your Kyte account (if any), the email address associated with your Kyte account, and a description of your claim. In the interval between the party receiving such notice and the informal dispute resolution conference, the parties shall be free to attempt to resolve the initiating party’s claims. Engaging in an informal dispute resolution conference is a requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing arbitration. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the informal dispute resolution process required by this paragraph.

 

(c) Arbitration Rules and Forum

This Arbitration Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) in all respects. If for whatever reason the rules and procedures of the FAA cannot apply, the state law governing arbitration agreements in the state in which you reside shall apply. Before a party may begin an arbitration proceeding, that party must send notice of an intent to initiate arbitration and certify completion of the informal dispute resolution conference pursuant to Section 12(b). If this notice is being sent to Kyte, it must be sent by email to the counsel who represented Kyte in the informal dispute resolution process. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS under its rules and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Once the notice certifying completion of the informal dispute resolution conference has been served, the party seeking to arbitrate must then file their arbitration demands with JAMS. The demand must include (A) the name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address of the party seeking arbitration; (B) a statement of the legal claims being asserted and the factual bases of those claims; (C) a description of the remedy sought and an accurate, good-faith calculation of the amount in controversy, enumerated in United States Dollars (any request for injunctive relief or attorneys’ fees shall not count toward the calculation of the amount in controversy unless such injunctive relief seeks the payment of money); and (D) the signature of the party seeking arbitration. Disputes shall be subject to JAMS most current version of its Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures, available as of June 1, 2021 at https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration. The fees that shall apply to arbitrations administered by JAMS are set forth on its website, available as of July 21, 2023 at https://www.jamsadr.com/arbitration-fees. Any finding that a claim or counterclaim violates the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 shall entitle the other party to recover their attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses associated with defending against the claim or counterclaim. If a party timely serves an offer of judgment under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 or a state or local equivalent, if applicable, and the judgment that the other party finally obtains is not more favorable than the unaccepted offer, then the other party shall pay the costs, including filing fees, incurred after the offer was made.

If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will mutually select an alternative arbitral forum. To the extent there is a dispute over which arbitration provider shall administer the arbitration, only a court (and not an arbitrator or arbitration administrator) can resolve that dispute, and the arbitration shall be stayed until the court resolves that dispute. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, video conference, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location. The parties agree that all of the arbitration proceedings, including any discovery, hearings, and rulings, shall be confidential to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. If at any time the arbitrator or arbitration administrator fails to enforce the terms of this Agreement, either party may seek to enjoin the arbitration proceeding in court, and the arbitration shall automatically be stayed pending the outcome of that proceeding.

If the arbitration award includes any injunction or a monetary award that exceeds $100,000, then either party shall have the right to appeal that award to an arbitration appellate panel. The notice of appeal must be served, in writing, on the opposing party within fourteen (14) days after the award has become final. JAMS shall administer the appeal consistent with the JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedures, available as of February 3, 2023 at https://www.jamsadr.com/appeal/.

 

(d) Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND KYTE WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND RECEIVE A JUDGE OR JURY TRIAL. You and Kyte are instead electing to have all disputes resolved by arbitration, except as specified in Section 12(a) above. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited.

 

(e) Waiver of Class, Consolidated, and Representative Actions; Waiver of Public Injunctive Relief. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY AGREED TO IN SECTION 12(F) OF THIS AGREEMENT AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND KYTE AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO RESOLVE CLAIMS WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 12(F). CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 12(F). In any case in which (1) the dispute is filed as a class, collective, or representative action and (2) a civil court of competent jurisdiction finds all or part of the Waiver of Class, Consolidated, and Representative Actions is unenforceable, the class, collective, or representative action must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, but the portion of the Waiver of Class, Consolidated, and Representative Actions that is enforceable shall be enforced in arbitration. The portion of such dispute proceeding in court shall be stayed pending the conclusion of the arbitration. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any claim that all or part of the waivers set forth in Section 12(e) is unenforceable, unconscionable, void, or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. This provision does not prevent you or Kyte from settling claims on a class, collective, or representative basis.

 

(f) Batch Arbitrations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, to increase efficiency of resolution, in the event 100 or more similar arbitration demands against Kyte, presented by or with the assistance or involvement of the same law firm or organization, are submitted to an arbitration provider selected in accordance with the rules described above within a 30-day period: (A) the parties shall cooperate to group the arbitration demands into randomized batches of no more than 100 demands per batch (plus, to the extent there are fewer than 100 arbitration demands left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining demands); (B) claimants’ counsel shall organize and present the batched demands to the arbitration provider in a format as directed by the arbitration provider; (C) the arbitration provider shall provide for resolution of each batch as a single arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees and one arbitrator assigned per batch; and (D) the arbitration provider shall send one set of disclosures per batch and will set up one Arbitration Management Conference per batch. You agree to cooperate in good faith with Kyte and the arbitration provider to implement such a batch approach to resolution and fees. Disagreements over the applicability of this batch arbitration process will be settled in a single, consolidated arbitration proceeding that includes all affected parties and is resolved by a single arbitrator subject to the requirements of this section. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, batch arbitrations shall take place in Los Angeles, California or, if the parties prefer, by video conference. The parties may also agree to conducting arbitration based on written submissions alone.

 

(i) No Effect on Independent Contractor Agreement. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL SUPERSEDE, AMEND, OR MODIFY THE TERMS OF ANY SEPARATE AGREEMENT(S) BETWEEN YOU AND KYTE RELATING TO YOUR WORK AS AN EMPLOYEE OR INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT GOVERNING YOUR SERVICES AS A CONTRACTOR. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, IF YOU ARE A CONTRACTOR, OPTING OUT OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT SET FORTH IN SECTION 12 HAS NO EFFECT ON YOUR AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES COVERED BY YOUR INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT WITH KYTE.

 

(j) Survival. This Arbitration Agreement will survive any termination of your relationship with Kyte.

 

(k) Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if Kyte makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, it will not apply to any individual claim(s) that you had already provided notice of to Kyte.

 

(l) Entire Agreement; Severability. This Arbitration Agreement is the full and complete agreement relating to the formal resolution of disputes covered by this Arbitration Agreement. In the event any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed unenforceable, the remainder of this Arbitration Agreement will be enforceable.

We make every effort to protect data privacy and confidentiality. We use the personal information you provide us in some areas of this site to provide you with the best customer experience. The amount and type of information you provide depends on how you use this site. Information may be stored and used to enhance your experience.

In all cases, your use of the Kyte web or mobile site(s) and/or mobile app(s) (“Apps”) implies your agreement to the terms of this privacy policy. You also grant Kyte permission to collect information about the pages served to you as an anonymous user for the purpose of calculating aggregate site statistics.

​

A. The data we collect

​

Kyte collects data:

  • provided by users to Kyte, such as during account creation

  • created during use of our services, such as location, app usage, and device data

  • from other sources, such as other users or account owners, business partners, vendors, insurance and financial solution providers, and governmental authorities

 

Kyte collects the following data:

1. Data provided by users. This includes:

  • User profile information: We collect data when users create or update their Kyte accounts, or place orders via guest checkout features. This may include their name, email, phone number, login name and password, address, profile picture, payment or banking information (including related payment verification information), driver’s license and other government issued documents (which may include identification numbers as well as birth date, gender, and photo). Background check information (delivery persons): This includes information submitted during the delivery person application process, such as driver history or criminal record (where permitted by law), license status, known aliases, prior addresses, and right to work. This information may be collected by an authorized vendor on Kyte’s behalf.

  • Identity verification photos: This includes photos of users (such as, selfies) and/or their government issued identifications (such as, driver’s license or passports). Such photos may be used to verify a user’s identity, such as through facial verification technologies. Please see the section titled “How we use personal data” for more information regarding how user photos are used for safety and security purposes, including identity verification.

  • Demographic data: We may collect demographic data about users, such as birth date/age, gender or occupation, when required for certain Kyte services or programs, such as deliveries for vapes, tobacco, and/or alcohol. We may also collect demographic data, such as age group and household composition, through user surveys, and use this information to offer Kyte products and services that are likely to be of interest to you.

  • We may also infer demographic data from other data collected from users. For example, we may infer a user’s gender based on their first name to enable safety features or to display personalized ads for third party products or services. See the section titled “How we use personal data” below for more information.

  • User content: We collect the data submitted by users when they contact Kyte customer support or provide ratings or feedback. This may include photographs, or audio or video recordings submitted by users in connection with a customer support request. This also includes metadata relating to the method you use to communicate with Kyte.
     

2. Data created during use of our services. This includes:

  • Location data (delivery person): We collect precise or approximate location data from delivery persons’ mobile devices when the Kyte Apps are running in the foreground (app open and on-screen) or background (app open but not on-screen).

  • Location data (order recipients). We collect precise or approximate location information from order recipients’ mobile devices if they enable us to do so via their device settings.

    Kyte collects such data from the time an order is requested until it is finished, and any time the Apps are running in the foreground (app open and on-screen).
    Order recipients may use the Kyte Apps without enabling collection of location data from their mobile devices. However, this may affect certain features in the Kyte apps. For example, a customer who has not enabled precise location data will have to manually enter their delivery address.
     

  • Transaction information: We collect transaction information related to the use of our services, including the type of services requested or provided; order details (such as date and time, requested drop off addresses, and items ordered); and payment transaction information (such as amount charged and payment method). We also associate a user’s name with that of anyone who uses their promotion code.

  • Usage data: We collect data about how users interact with our services. This includes access dates and times, app features or pages viewed, browser type, and app crashes and other system activity.

  • Device data: We collect data about the devices used to access our services, including the hardware models, device IP address or other unique device identifiers, operating systems and versions, software, preferred languages, advertising identifiers, device motion data, and mobile network data.

  • Communications data: We collect data regarding phone, text or in-app communications between users that are enabled through the Kyte Apps. This includes date and time, as well as the content of text or in-app messages. We may also collect the content of phone calls solely where users are notified in advance that the call may be recorded.

  • Users participating in our referral programs. For example, when a user refers another person, we receive the referred person’s data from that user.

  • Kyte business partners through which users create or access their Kyte account, such as payment providers or social media services.

  • Kyte business partners in connection with debit or credit cards issued by a financial institution in partnership with Kyte to the extent disclosed in the terms and conditions for the card.

​

D. Data sharing and disclosure

​

We do not sell or rent your personal information to any third parties under any circumstances. We share personal customer information and/or purchase history only with our agents, representatives, service providers and contractors for limited purposes, including but not limited to: fulfilling customer orders; offering certain products and services in connection with this Site; communicating to customers; providing customer service; enhancing and improving customers’ shopping experience; administering or facilitating surveys, contests or sweepstakes; offering targeted marketing communications to users that opted-in to receive such communications; enabling access to our partners’ websites; providing a personalized shopping experience; preventing fraud; and completing payment method processing.

​

Aside from the purposes described above, we do not share your personal information with any other third parties unless we have your express permission or under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that the disclosure is required to prevent harm or injury (such as product recalls, fraud, claims or other liability), or to comply with legal processes and orders (subpoenas, warrants, and etc.). This includes sharing data with law enforcement officials, public health officials, other government authorities or other third parties as necessary to enforce our Terms of Service, user agreements, or other policies; to protect Kyte’s rights or property or the rights, safety, or property of others; or in the event of a claim or dispute relating to the use of our services. In the event of a dispute relating to use of another person’s credit card, we may be required by law to share your data, including order information, with the owner of that credit card.

We may share aggregated demographic and statistical information with our partners, but this is not linked to any personal information that can identify you or any individual person.

​

In addition to the information you provide to us, we obtain the following information from third parties: data collection and reporting services regarding our customers’ activities on the Site; tracking and measuring performance of our marketing efforts and your response to our marketing efforts; and the delivery of relevant marketing messages. These third parties may use cookies and Web beacons (1 x 1 pixels), and may receive anonymous information about your browsing and buying activity on the Site.

E. Data retention and deletion

 

Kyte retains user data for as long as necessary for the purposes described above, including to provide its services and comply with legal obligations. The period for which we retain user data is determined by the type of data, the category of user to whom the data relates, and the purposes for which we collected the data.

The length for which Kyte retains user data may further be determined by legal and regulatory requirements, purposes of safety, security, and fraud prevention, or by issues relating to the user’s account such as an outstanding credit or an unresolved claim or dispute.

For example, we retain data:

  • for the life of users’ accounts if such data is necessary to provide our services. E.g., user profile information and credentials.

  • for 7 years if necessary to comply with tax requirements. E.g., delivery persons’ trip or delivery location information.

  • for defined periods as necessary for purposes of safety or fraud prevention. E.g., we retain incomplete driver applications for 1 year, and rejected driver applications for 7 years.

  • after requests for account deletion if necessary for purposes of safety, security, fraud prevention or compliance with legal requirements, or because of issues relating to the user’s account (such as an outstanding credit or an unresolved claim or dispute).

Users may request deletion of their accounts at any time. Kyte may retain user data after a deletion request due to legal or regulatory requirements or for reasons stated in this policy.

Users may request deletion of their account at any time by contacting us at privacy@kyte.aero.

Following an account deletion request, Kyte will delete the user’s account and data, unless they must be retained due to legal or regulatory requirements, for purposes of safety, security, and fraud prevention, or because of an issue relating to the user’s account such as an outstanding credit or an unresolved claim or dispute. Because we are subject to legal and regulatory requirements relating to delivery persons, this generally means that we retain their account and data for the applicable statutory retention period after a deletion request. For order recipients, their data is generally deleted within 90 days of a deletion request, except where retention is necessary for the above reasons.

 

F. Security

​

We understand the importance of information security and take reasonable measures to protect the security and confidentiality of your information in line with industry standards. We use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), an industry-standard encryption method. We do NOT keep your credit card information on file. While we realize this is potentially less convenient for future ordering, we feel that the safest way to protect your credit card information is not to store it, but request it each time you purchase.

Please note that email is not encrypted and not considered a secure way to transmit your credit card information. We will never ask you for your credit card information by email.

​

G. Children

​

We do not solicit or knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and discover that your child has been using our systems, please inform us using the contact information below and we will remove it from our systems. We have no knowledge that we sell the data of minors under 16 years of age.

​

H. California Data Rights

​

  • Right to Access. You have the right to request a copy of your personal information maintained by us.

  • Right to Deletion. You have the right to request that we delete any personal information about you in our possession.

  • Right to Information. You have the right to request information about what categories of personal information we have about you, what we use them for, who they have been shared with.

We will comply with your request to access a copy of your personal information unless:

  • You have already received a copy of your personal information at least twice in the last twelve months;

  • Disclosing your personal information would interfere with our performance of a greater legal obligation.

  • ​

Please note however that we may be barred by law from disclosing certain sensitive information in response to your request.

​

We will comply with your request to delete your personal information unless we must maintain it to:

  • Complete a transaction with you, provide goods/services to you that you requested, and/or perform a contract between you and us;

  • Detect security incidents or enable the technical repair of our systems;

  • Comply with our legal obligations;

  • Protect us against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity and/or assist in the prosecution of a crime or civil case;

​

The process for requesting these rights is as follows:

  • File a Request. You can submit a request using the following email address: privacy@kyte.aero

  • After you submit a request, we will promptly take steps to determine whether we can verify that you are who you say you are and, if you are seeking deletion, that your request is genuine. Our process for doing so is as follows:

  • We will ask you to provide various pieces of information as follows:

    • If you are requesting the Right to Information, we will ask you to provide at least two pieces of information about yourself. If it matches our records, we will verify and proceed with your request.

    • If you are requesting the Right to Access, we will ask you to provide at least three pieces of information about yourself. If it matches our records, we will verify and proceed with your request.

    • If you are requesting the Right to Deletion, we will ask you to provide at least two pieces of information about yourself. If it matches our records, we will verify and proceed with your request. We may also ask you via email to verify your request to delete a second time.

  • We will fulfill your request, either disclosing and delivering a copy of your personal information or information about our privacy practices, both free of charge; or deleting your personal information, within 45 days of receiving your verifiable request. If necessary, we will extend the time period to provide the required information once by an additional 45 days, and will provide you with notice of the extension within the first 45-day period. The disclosure shall cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of the verifiable request.

 

Authorized Agent. You have the right to designate an authorized agent to submit an access or deletion request on your behalf. Agents can submit requests as if they were the person they are representing, using the above methods. If you use an authorized agent to submit such a request, we will require that you:

  • Provide the authorized agent written permission to act on your behalf; and

  • Verify your own identity with us via step 2 of the above procedure before we can honor the request.

​

No Discrimination. We will not discriminate against a California resident because the California resident exercised any of the rights described above.
