Privacy Policy
This privacy policy sets out how kandipatterns.com uses and protects any information that you give us when you use this website.
kandipatterns.com is committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. Should we ask you to provide certain information by which you can be identified when using this website, then you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement. kandipatterns.com may change this policy from time to time by updating this page. You should check this page from time to time to ensure that you are happy with any changes. This policy is effective from 6/13/2010.
What we collect
You are only asked to provide your name and e-mail address if you wish to access the "Adults only" patterns, which feature mature content. This is so that only registered members can access the content, and so that random visitors do not happen across it and associate sex and drugs with kandi. We will never sell your name or e-mail address, or give it to anyone. We may occasionally contact you if we have some news to share with you, but you can choose to opt-out of such e-mails at any time. Your IP address is stored to make sure that you are not abusing the services on this site, e.g. repeatedly asking for the same pattern pretending to be different people. We also keep track of your IP so that we can ban you from the site if you act in a manner that is not in accordance with our terms and conditions. We also reserve the right to read your messages at any time to determine if you are acting in a way that is not in accordance with our terms.
