How KCdesi collects, uses, and protects your information

Effective January 1, 2021 · Last updated April 2025

Protecting your private information is our priority. This policy applies to kcdesi.com and governs how we collect and use your data. By using KCdesi, you consent to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

When you register, post, or otherwise interact with KCdesi, we may collect the following personally identifiable information:

  • First and last name
  • Email address
  • Phone number

We may also collect non-identifying demographic data (such as age, gender, or general location) in aggregate form. At the time of this policy, we have not collected this data — but we may do so in the future.

⚠️ If you post personally identifiable information in any public area of the site (comments, classifieds, etc.), that information may be seen and collected by others. Please be mindful of what you share publicly.

How We Use Your Information

KCdesi uses your information solely to operate the site and deliver services you've requested. This includes:

  • Managing your account and submissions
  • Communicating with you about services or events
  • Sending updates or newsletters you've opted into
  • Improving site functionality and experience

We may occasionally inform you of offerings from KCdesi or its affiliates that we believe are relevant to you.

Sharing with Third Parties

KCdesi does not sell, rent, or lease your personal information to third parties.

We may share data with trusted service partners (e.g., email delivery, analytics) strictly to support site operations. These partners are contractually prohibited from using your data for any other purpose.

We may disclose your information without notice only if required by law, to protect KCdesi's rights or property, or to protect the safety of our users or the public.

Automatically Collected Information

Like most websites, KCdesi automatically collects certain technical data when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, referring URLs, and access times. This data is used to operate and improve the site and is never tied to your personal identity.

Cookies

KCdesi uses cookies to remember your preferences and improve your browsing experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser — they cannot execute programs or deliver viruses.

You can configure your browser to decline cookies, though doing so may limit certain site features. Your continued use of KCdesi implies consent to our use of cookies.

External Links

KCdesi contains links to third-party sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site that collects your personal information.

Security

KCdesi uses SSL encryption to protect data transmitted to and from the site. We take reasonable precautions to safeguard your personal information from unauthorized access or disclosure.

However, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed 100% secure. By using KCdesi, you acknowledge the inherent privacy limitations of the internet.

Your Right to Deletion

You may request deletion of your personal information from KCdesi's records at any time. Upon a verifiable request, we will delete your data and direct our service providers to do the same — subject to exceptions required by law, ongoing contracts, fraud prevention, or other legally permitted purposes.

Children Under 13

KCdesi does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are under 13, please ask a parent or guardian before using this site.

Email Communications

KCdesi may occasionally email you with announcements, event updates, or community news. Every email includes an Unsubscribe link — click it at any time to stop receiving marketing communications.

Changes to This Policy

KCdesi reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. Material changes will be communicated via a prominent notice on the site or by email to your registered address. Continued use of KCdesi after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

Event Submission Terms

KCdesi basic event listings are free of charge. All submissions are accepted at the sole discretion of KCdesi.com — submission does not guarantee inclusion, and events may be withdrawn at any time. We list events of broad community interest within the Kansas City metro area that serve or celebrate the Indian community.

We generally do not list:

  • Regularly scheduled or recurring weekly events
  • Yard sales or garage sales
  • Events outside the KC Metro area
  • Recurring events with no meaningful change week to week (e.g., karaoke, dance classes) — unless cultural or broadly community-serving

We generally do list:

  1. Major fundraising events (dinners, banquets, carnivals)
  2. Significant entertainment and arts events
  3. Large community events of scheduling importance
  4. Events our audience has identified as broadly important

These are guidelines, not an exhaustive list. KCdesi reserves the right to edit submissions for grammar, style, and accuracy.
