Privacy Policy

The Kop Experience ("KOPX," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our website (the "Site"), how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to this Policy.

This Site is informational only and does not offer or sell any security. See our Terms of Use for details.

When you register interest, join our waitlist, or contact us, we may collect:

Your name
Your email address
Your phone number (if you provide it)

Cookie and similar tracking data (see Section 6)

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information, and we ask that you do not send it to us. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

Add you to our interest list or waitlist and send you updates about KOPX

Understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it
Send you news, announcements, and — where legally permitted in the future — information about opportunities to get involved

We will only send you marketing communications where permitted by law, and every marketing email includes an option to unsubscribe.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it only in these limited circumstances:

Service providers. Companies that help us operate the Site and communicate with you — for example, website hosting, form and email providers, and analytics tools — who are permitted to use your information only to provide services to us.
Professional advisors. Our legal, accounting, and compliance advisors, where reasonably necessary.
Legal and safety reasons. When required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of KOPX, our users, or others.
Business transfers. In connection with a merger, financing, acquisition, or reorganization of the venture, in which case any successor will be bound by this Policy.

If, in the future, we conduct a regulated funding offering, any information you provide in that process will be handled under the separate terms and privacy disclosures of that offering and its registered intermediaries.

4. How We Protect Your Information

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You provide information to us at your own risk.

5. How Long We Keep Your Information

We keep your information for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy — including keeping you informed about the project — unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. You may ask us to delete your information at any time (see Section 8).

6. Cookies and Analytics

The Site may use cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences, understand site usage, and improve your experience. We may use third-party analytics providers that set their own cookies.

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect how parts of the Site function. If required in your location, we will request your consent to non-essential cookies through a cookie banner.

7. Third-Party Links and Services

The Site may link to third-party websites and services that we do not control. This Policy does not apply to those third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any site you visit.

8. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal information, including the right to:

Access the information we hold about you
Correct inaccurate information
Request deletion of your information
Object to or restrict certain processing
Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
Unsubscribe from marketing at any time

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 11. We will respond as required by applicable law. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

For California residents: you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, including the right to know, delete, and opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. We do not sell your personal information.

For residents of the EU, UK, and similar jurisdictions: where applicable data protection law applies, we process your information on the legal bases of your consent, our legitimate interests in operating and promoting the project, and compliance with legal obligations.
