Cookies

Like many websites, Kezera works with so-called cookies. These are small text files which are stored on your computer and contain information about your settings (e.g. language preferences) so that you do not have to set up your account each time you visit Kezera.

By linking your Kezera user account with a user account like the previously mentioned, you agree to the disclosure and publication of your Kezera content to these services as part of each of their privacy policies and terms of use.
In case of a suspected or a specific infringement, we are authorized to block, disclose or delete your stored data, information and content to comply with laws or legal requirements, to protect the safety of other persons and the public, to counter fraud, to resolve technical or security related problems or to protect our own rights and the property of Kezera and its users.
In the case of a business transfer, we are allowed to sell or otherwise transfer your stored data, information and content. This privacy policy thereby remains unaffected until further notice.
We also point out that data transmission over the internet can always have vulnerabilities. We will do everything we can to avoid them, but we cannot guarantee a permanent, full-length protection of your data (or parts thereof) from access by third parties.
