KAI Research, Inc. reserves the right to share aggregated site statistics with partner companies, but does not allow other companies to place cookies on our website unless there is a temporary, overriding customer value (such as merging into www.kai-research.com a site that relies on third-party cookies).

Visitors to our website can register to purchase services. We will request some personal information such as name, address, email, telephone and/or facsimile number and account number.

4. Use of Web Beacons or GIF files

KAI Research, Inc. Web pages may contain electronic images known as Web beacons – sometimes also called single-pixel gifs – that allow us to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. We may include Web beacons in promotional email messages or newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon.

Some of these Web beacons may be placed by third party service providers to help determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns or email communications. These Web beacons may be used by these service providers to place a persistent cookie on your computer. This allows the service provider to recognize your computer each time you visit certain pages or emails and compile anonymous information in relation to those page views. This enables us and our service providers to learn which advertisements and emails bring you to our website and how you use the site. KAI Research, Inc. prohibits Web beacons from being used to collect or access your personal information.
