Khoros is committed to protecting the privacy and rights of its customers as well as respecting the rules and laws of the jurisdiction in which it operates. As such, Khoros requires that all law enforcement requests for customer data be accompanied by valid legal process from a law enforcement authority with jurisdiction. Khoros will only provide customer data in response to a law enforcement request when we reasonably believe that we are legally required to do so, and in accordance with our privacy policy, terms of use, and our individual customer agreements. To protect the privacy and rights of our customers, Khoros reviews all law enforcement requests to ensure they comply with the law.

It is Khoros’s policy to notify our customers of all requests for their information and provide them with an opportunity to object to the disclosure when we respond unless we are explicitly prohibited from doing so by law.
