Privacy Policy

At Kernel, we are committed to protecting your privacy. We love the web as much as you, so we’ve used the “do unto others” rule to set up the privacy safeguards that we share below.

We use the information we collect about you on the gokernel.com website and applications to allow you to identify yourself when signing in to Kernel, communicating with Kernel users and for us to communicate with you about Kernel.  Your data is your property, period. However, we reserve the right to use anonymous system data to improve our service for everyone.

We will never share your data or use your contacts without your permission.

Please read on for more details about our privacy policy.

What information does kernel collect on its website and applications? How does kernel use it?

When you sign up for a Kernel account, we ask for your email address and password. We use this information to authenticate you when you visit Kernel. For security reasons we may ask you to verify your email, prove that you’re not a machine, and sign back in after a certain period of time.

While you are using the Kernel service, we store all data that you have saved so that we can maintain your data and keep it distinct from everyone else’s data. We use the data you create and store to make Kernel a better product for you.

How does kernel protect customer information?

When you provide information or log into the Kernel website or applications, we use a secure communication protocol called SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). SSL encrypts all information you input during transport over the Internet and decrypts the information when received by our servers.

All passwords are salted and encrypted. Furthermore, all personally identifiable information is also encrypted.

One way to protect yourself when using Kernel is to check our digital certificates to ensure that you’re using the genuine Kernel service. Digital certificates for Kernel are issued by VeriSign, one of the most established signers of digital certificates.

If you ever suspect spam or fraudulent usage of Kernel, please contact us immediately by emailing security@gokernel.com.

Will kernel disclose the information it collects to outside parties?

Absolutely not. Kernel will not sell, trade, rent or share the individualized and personal information you submit without your express permission – period. Kernel may provide aggregate statistics about our users, traffic patterns, and related site information to reputable third-party vendors, our employees, investors and directors, but these statistics will include no personally identifying information. This means we may talk about what happens with large numbers of users on our system, but we never share data about individual users.

If any part of this privacy policy gives you concern, we invite you to discuss it with us by emailing us or by using our contact form. We will update this policy in the future to make its terms more clear when necessary, and to respond to changes in legal and public thinking about privacy online. Thank you for reading our Privacy Policy.

Best wishes,

the Kernel team
