How We Share Your Information
Kc Light Bar® does not sell your personal information without your consent. However, we may share your details in the following limited circumstances:
Service Providers
We share information with third party companies who provide services on our behalf, such as order fulfillment, email delivery, marketing, analytics, payment processing, and fraud prevention. These companies are only provided the details required to perform their designated functions and are expressly prohibited from using data for any other purpose.
Business Transfers
If we are involved in a reorganization, merger, acquisition, or sale of some or all of our assets, user information may be transferred as part of the transaction. In this event, we will notify you before any personal information is transferred and becomes subject to a new privacy policy.
Law Enforcement, Safety, and Legal Obligations
On rare occasions, we may disclose your information if we determine it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation, legal request, or governmental inquiry, to enforce our policies, or to protect the safety and security of our users or the public. However, we will attempt to notify you unless providing notice is prohibited by law or would jeopardize an investigation.
Your Data Rights and Choices
Depending on your location, you may have certain rights with respect to the management of your personal data:
- Access or Update Data: You may request to review or update inaccuracies in the personal data we retain.
- Delete Data: You can ask to have your personal data erased in some circumstances.

Data Retention
We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to provide you our services, fulfill legal obligations, or establish/defend legal claims. Our retention policies aim to balance compliance requirements, legal needs, and user expectations.
When we no longer have a legitimate need to process your information, we will securely delete or anonymize it according to our data management policies. Please contact us if you would like more specifics on retention timelines.
Use of Services by Minors
Our websites and apps are intended for general audiences, and we do not direct any of our content specifically at children under the age of 16. If we become aware that a child under 16 has provided us with personal data without parental consent, we will take commercially reasonable steps to delete such information. If you become aware that your child has improperly provided us with information, please contact our Data Protection Team.
Links to Other Websites
Our Services may contain links to or integrations with other websites, products, or services that are not owned or controlled by Kc Light Bar®. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. Please consult the privacy policies posted on each site to understand their policies on data collection, use, and disclosure.
Security of Your Information
We are committed to protecting your data and apply organizational, physical, and technical safeguards to protect your personal information against unauthorized access and improper use. However, no security measures can wholly eliminate risks, so we cannot guarantee full security of our systems 100% of the time.
International Data Transfers
We are headquartered in the United States and operate globally. Personal data you submit may be transferred to or stored on servers located outside your country of residence to provide our services and meet your requests, subject to standard contractual clauses approved by applicable data protection authorities. All transfers of your data will be made in compliance with applicable data protection laws.
Changes to This Policy
