Non-Personally Identifiable Information. Non-personally
identifiable information is information that, by itself, cannot be
tracked to a specific individual. We may collect non-personally
identifiable information while you are visiting the Site. While
providing services and features, We may collect web surfing data such

different types of technologies to collect this information,
including cookies and single-pixel GIFs.

how you use the Site and to show you information we think you would

services or features, we may ask you to provide personal information.
For example, if you choose to register at the Site, you may be asked
to provide your name, email address, telephone number, company,

Use of the Information We Collect
Use of Non-Personally

information collected to improve the quality of Kali's services; for
example, by diagnosing service or technology problems, by assessing

that are generating more web traffic, by presenting you with
information that we think you would be interested in seeing, or by
allowing you to log in or access your profile information
automatically. We may also use the information to count and recognize
returning users.
We may use non-personally identifiable
information collected to determine user demographics, interests, and
behavior and may market Kali products by sharing non-personally

also may provide your non-personally identifiable information to
contractors so that they can perform services for us.
Use of
Personally Identifiable Information. User Submissions, profile
information, including without limitation your username, email
address, and location may be viewable by others. We do not
intentionally directly provide personally identifiable information to
partners, except if you provide personally identifiable information
as part of an inquiry about products or services provided by one of
the partners. In that case, we will provide that information to that
partner so that they may attempt to provide you with information
regarding the products or services about which you inquired. We may
use the personally identifiable information provided by users at for
internal purposes, such as marketing, administration, or sending you
email messages. We may share personally identifiable information with
third parties who provide Kali with administrative services and with
reseller partners.

requesting information or when signing up for user communities,
newsletters, or other services, we may send you email messages to
communicate with you or to provide you information that we think you
would like to see.
If Kali shares any of the information
collected from you with a third party, the third party's use of that
information will then be governed by the third party's privacy
policy.
If you provide personally identifiable information
for your profile or other User Submissions, other users of the Site
will have access to this information.
