Kbils.com takes great care to ensure all data-sharing practices are transparent, lawful, and limited to legitimate purposes that benefit our users. We regularly review our partners and systems to make sure your information is handled with security and respect.
5. Third-Party Links
At Kbils.com, our goal is to provide readers with valuable and trustworthy financial information. To achieve this, our articles and guides sometimes include links to third-party websites, tools, or services that we believe may offer additional insights or resources. These third-party links can include references to banks, financial institutions, credit card providers, comparison tools, or other informational platforms.
While we carefully select and verify the external websites we mention, it is important for users to understand that Kbils.com does not have control over these external websites. Once you click a third-party link and leave our website, the terms of use and privacy practices of that external site will apply to you instead of ours.
5.1 Responsibility and Control
We do not own, manage, or operate any of the third-party websites linked from Kbils.com. Each of those websites maintains its own privacy policy, cookie policy, and data handling practices. Because of this, we cannot be responsible for how they collect, store, or use your personal information.
We strongly encourage all users to read the privacy policy and terms of service of every external site they visit. This ensures you fully understand how your data will be managed before providing any personal details such as names, phone numbers, or financial information.
5.2 Affiliate and Sponsored Links
Some of the third-party links on our website may be affiliate links or sponsored recommendations. This means we might earn a small commission if you click a link or make a purchase through it, at no additional cost to you.
These partnerships help support the operations of Kbils.com and allow us to keep offering free, high-quality financial content. However, we only collaborate with trusted partners that align with our commitment to transparency, accuracy, and user protection.
Our editorial integrity remains completely independent. Sponsored or affiliate relationships never influence the content, tone, or ranking of our recommendations.
5.3 Third-Party Analytics and Advertising Services
Certain third-party services such as Google Analytics, Google AdSense, and similar advertising platforms may collect data automatically when you interact with linked content or ads. These companies may use cookies, tracking pixels, or other tools to measure engagement and personalize ads.
Please note that Kbils.com does not share your personally identifiable information with advertisers or analytics providers. You can manage how Google uses your data for advertising by visiting Google's Privacy and Terms page.
5.4 External Links and Your Safety
While we make every effort to ensure that all external links on our site are safe and relevant, we cannot guarantee that every third-party website will maintain the same level of security or ethical standards as Kbils.com.
We advise users to:
- Avoid sharing sensitive information such as passwords or financial details on unverified websites.
- Always check for "https" in the URL before entering any data.
- Keep their browser and antivirus software updated for additional protection.
5.5 Disclaimer of Liability
By using Kbils.com, you acknowledge that we are not responsible for any damages, losses, or issues that may arise from visiting or interacting with third-party websites linked on our platform. Accessing those external resources is done at your own discretion and risk.
In summary, while Kbils.com strives to link only to reputable and useful third-party sources, users are encouraged to stay informed and cautious when exploring external websites. Your privacy and online safety remain our top priority, and we are committed to full transparency in all of our linking practices.

7.5 Right to Opt Out of Data Sharing or Sale
Kbils.com does not sell personal information to third parties. However, if you reside in a U.S. state that recognizes data "sharing" for advertising purposes as a form of sale, you have the right to opt out of this activity.

7.6 Right to Limit the Use of Sensitive Personal Information
If you live in a jurisdiction that defines "sensitive personal information" (for example, California), you may have the right to limit how that information is used.

7.7 Right to Data Portability

These data transfers are necessary for:
- Hosting and maintaining our website infrastructure.
- Performing analytics to improve website performance and content quality.
- Managing communications and customer support requests.
- Delivering newsletters, updates, and other subscribed content.
Even though your information may be processed in a different country, we ensure that all handling, storage, and access follow strict data protection standards and contractual safeguards.
10.2 Legal Basis for International Transfers
By using our website, submitting your information, or engaging with any of our services, you acknowledge and agree that your data may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where privacy laws may not provide the same level of protection as those in your home country.
However, Kbils.com takes every reasonable step to ensure that your personal data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We implement contractual, technical, and organizational measures designed to safeguard your data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
For users in regions governed by comprehensive privacy laws-such as the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Canada-we comply with recognized data transfer frameworks and ensure that any third-party processors handling data on our behalf maintain legally compliant protection measures.
10.3 Our Approach to Data Security and Compliance
We use reputable, security-certified cloud and hosting providers that comply with international privacy and data security standards. These include encryption of data in transit, access restrictions, and continuous monitoring for vulnerabilities.
Before working with any external partner or service provider, we conduct due diligence to verify their compliance with data protection regulations and require them to sign agreements that safeguard all transferred information.
10.4 Your Acknowledgment and Consent
By continuing to use Kbils.com, you consent to the collection, storage, and processing of your personal data in the United States or other countries where our partners operate. You understand that these jurisdictions may have data protection rules that differ from those in your country of residence.
If you do not agree to such transfers, please refrain from using our website or providing personal information. You may also contact us at support@kbils.com to request more information about how your data is managed across international systems.
10.5 Ongoing Updates and International Compliance Efforts
As privacy laws evolve globally, Kbils.com remains committed to aligning our data transfer and processing practices with the latest standards and frameworks.
If any major changes occur in how or where your data is transferred internationally, we will update this section of our Privacy Policy and revise the "Last Updated" date to reflect the change.
We encourage you to review our Privacy Policy regularly to stay informed about how we protect and manage your information globally.
At Kbils.com, your trust is our priority. Whether you access our website from within the United States or anywhere around the world, we are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of privacy, transparency, and data protection at every level of operation.
11. Data Retention
At Kbils.com, we value transparency and responsibility when it comes to how long we keep your personal information. We retain your data only for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, to comply with applicable legal obligations, and to maintain the integrity and functionality of our website.
Our goal is to ensure that your information is never stored longer than required, and that it is handled securely throughout its lifecycle-from collection to deletion.
11.1 How Long We Keep Your Information
The length of time we retain your data depends on several factors, including the nature of the information, the reason it was collected, and any legal or contractual requirements that apply.
We may retain your information for the following purposes:
- User Communication and Support: Contact details, messages, or inquiry records are retained as long as needed to address your questions or provide customer support.
- Subscription Management: If you sign up for newsletters or updates, your email information is kept until you unsubscribe or request deletion.
- Legal and Regulatory Requirements: Certain records, such as transaction logs, system backups, or compliance documents, may need to be retained for a specific period under applicable U.S. laws and regulations.
- Website Analytics and Performance: Non-personal analytical data is typically retained for a limited period to monitor trends and improve website functionality.
When the retention period ends, or when the purpose for which your information was collected no longer applies, we either securely delete, anonymize, or aggregate the data to ensure it cannot be traced back to you.
11.2 Criteria Used to Determine Retention Periods
We use the following criteria to decide how long to retain different categories of data:
- The nature and sensitivity of the personal information.
- The potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure.
- The purposes for which the data was collected and whether those purposes have been fulfilled.
- The legal obligations that require us to retain certain information.
- The user's consent or request for data deletion.
For example, data submitted through our contact forms might be kept for a few months after communication ends, while information related to regulatory compliance may be stored for a longer duration as required by law.
11.3 Secure Deletion and Anonymization
When we determine that personal information is no longer needed, we take steps to ensure it is disposed of securely. This process may include:
- Permanent deletion from all databases and servers.
- Anonymization, where data is stripped of all personally identifiable elements so it can be used for statistical or analytical purposes without identifying you.
- Restricted access, where information is archived but no longer accessible for general use.
These procedures help ensure that your information cannot be recovered, misused, or accessed without authorization once the retention period expires.
11.4 Exceptions and Legal Retention Requirements
In some cases, we may be required to retain data for longer periods due to:
- Tax, accounting, or legal compliance obligations.
- Dispute resolution or fraud prevention purposes.
- Security investigations or to enforce our Terms of Use.
During such instances, your information is stored securely and is accessed only for the purpose required by law or contract.
11.5 Your Right to Request Deletion
You have the right to request that we delete your personal data at any time, subject to certain legal or operational exceptions. To make such a request, contact us at support@kbils.com.
Once we verify your identity, we will evaluate your request and either delete your data or explain why certain information must be retained for compliance or legitimate business purposes.
11.6 Commitment to Responsible Data Management
Kbils.com is committed to continuously improving our data management practices to ensure transparency, accountability, and respect for user privacy. We review our retention policies regularly to stay aligned with evolving laws and industry standards.
We understand that your data belongs to you, and our responsibility is to protect it while using it only for legitimate, disclosed purposes.
At Kbils.com, we believe in retaining your data only for as long as necessary-and not a moment longer. Our approach ensures that your personal information remains secure, private, and handled with the utmost care throughout its entire lifecycle.
