4. CONNECTED-PRODUCT TECHNOLOGY AND DATA PRACTICES
KEGEL manufactures lane maintenance machines (including the Atlas, Flex, and Ikon models) that incorporate connected-product technology through the Smart Link cloud platform, embedded firmware, and the KEGEL Smart Link mobile application. This section describes how we collect, use, store, and share data in connection with these connected products.
Data Collected Automatically (Operational Data).
When a KEGEL lane machine is connected to the internet and registered on the Smart Link platform, it automatically collects and transmits the following Operational Data to KEGEL’s cloud infrastructure: serial numbers, QC (quality control) numbers, battery serial numbers, firmware versions, valve times, run times, error logs, operating status, and IP addresses.
This data is transmitted passively and continuously while the machine is connected to the internet. Collection does not require ongoing affirmative action by the operator beyond initial registration and network connection.
User-Inputted Information.
In addition to automatically collected Operational Data, the following information is entered by users during registration and use of the SmartLink platform and KEGEL lane machines: names entered at registration, usernames identifying machine operators, and technician identifiers.
Location Information.
KEGEL collects location information limited to the state/province and country entered at the time of machine registration. We collect location data from certain machines each time they are powered on. This location data is not continuously monitored or tracked while the machines are in use. No continuous location tracking of machines occurs.
How We Use Connected-Product Data.
KEGEL uses data collected from connected products for the following purposes:
1. Diagnostics and troubleshooting;
2. Technical support
3. Product improvement;
4. Analytics (aggregated usage and performance data);
5. Predictive maintenance;
6. Research and development; and
7. Distributor reporting (as described below)
Distributor Data Sharing.
Distributor data sharing begins immediately at the time of machine registration of a KEGEL lane machine. KEGEL shares certain information with its authorized distributors for the purposes of proactive maintenance outreach, parts replacement support, and warranty service. The information shared with distributors includes:
1. Bowling center name(s);
2. Contact name(s);
3. Phone number(s); and
4. Expired part information
KEGEL’s authorized distributors are contractually prohibited from using this data for marketing non-KEGEL products, sharing it with third parties, or soliciting customers for competing products. Distributors are bound by confidentiality and data-handling obligations under KEGEL’s Distribution Agreement.
Your Right to Opt Out of Distributor Data Sharing.
You have the right to opt out of the sharing of your information with KEGEL’s authorized distributors as described above. To exercise this right, you must contact KEGEL in writing at the address provided in Section 15 (Contact Us).
This opt-out right is provided under KEGEL’s Connected-Product Terms of Use. Please note that opting out of distributor data sharing may affect KEGEL’s ability to provide proactive maintenance and warranty services through your local distributor.
Cloud Hosting and Cross-Border Data Transfers.
KEGEL’s connected-product cloud services are hosted on cloud-based servers located in the following regions: United States, European Union, Republic of Korea (South Korea), and Japan.
The primary data storage location for your connected-product data depends on the geographic region in which your machine is registered. However, data may be replicated across KEGEL’s global server infrastructure for redundancy, performance, and business continuity purposes. As a result, cross-border data transfers occur as part of the normal operation of the KEGEL’s platform. Where required by applicable law, we rely on appropriate legal mechanisms (such as Standard Contractual Clauses, adequacy decisions, or your consent) to authorize these transfers. See Section 11 (Additional Information for Certain Jurisdictions) for more information.
KEGEL Smart Link Mobile Application.
The KEGEL Smart Link mobile application (available on iOS and Android) provides an interface for monitoring and managing KEGEL lane machines. The App collects and transmits the same categories of Operational Data and User-Inputted Information described above. By using the App, you acknowledge and consent to the data practices described in this Privacy Notice.

However, we may disclose certain categories of Personal Information to third parties, such as our affiliates and business partners.

Security of Personal Information.
We use standard physical, technical, and administrative safeguards designed to reduce the risk of loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, or modification of your Personal Information.

If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you suspect that the security of your Personal Information has been compromised), please notify us immediately at privacy@kegel.net.
Data Breach Notification.
In the event of a security incident involving unauthorized access to, disclosure of, or loss of Personal Information that is likely to result in harm or injury, and/or increased risk of identity theft, we will notify affected individuals and relevant supervisory authorities in accordance with applicable law.

Our Services are directed at businesses, bowling center operators, and adult consumers and are not intended for use by children. We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s Internet activity and to instruct their children never to provide Personal Information on any website without parental permission.

12. THIRD-PARTY PRIVACY PRACTICES
Our Services may contain links to third-party websites or applications. If you click on one of these links, be aware that each one will have its own privacy notice. We do not control these websites or applications and are not responsible for their policies. When you leave our Services, we encourage you to read the privacy notice of every website you visit.
We are not responsible for the privacy and data security practices of other organizations, such as Facebook, Instagram, Apple, Google, Microsoft, X, Shopify, PayPal, or any other app developer, app provider, social media platform provider, operating system provider, wireless service provider, or device manufacturer. Please read their privacy policies and consider customizing your browser or device settings to limit the disclosure of certain information, such as location data.
Any Personal Information that you provide through third-party websites, mobile applications, or social platforms will be subject to the privacy notice of its operator, and not this Privacy Notice.
13. DO NOT TRACK, GPC, AND OPT-OUT SIGNALS
Do Not Track. We do not monitor or follow “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals because there is no standard interpretation or practice for DNT signals. Therefore, we handle all user information consistent with this Privacy Notice.
Global Privacy Control and Opt-Out Preference Signals. In addition to traditional Do Not Track signals, KEGEL recognizes and responds to the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) opt-out preference signal, which is a browser-based signal that communicates your preference to opt out of the “sale” and/or “sharing” of your Personal Information, as those terms are defined under applicable laws. If our Services detect that your browser or device is transmitting a GPC signal, we will process that signal as an opt-out request for that browser or device in accordance with applicable law. You may also manage your opt-out preferences by contacting us at privacy@kegel.net.
Please note: The GPC signal applies only to the specific browser and/or device from which it is transmitted. If you access our Websites from a different browser or device, you will need to enable the GPC signal separately for each. If you clear your cookies, change your browser settings, or uninstall and reinstall your browser, your opt-out preference may need to be re-established. The GPC signal is offered by third parties that we do not control. For more information about how GPC works, please visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org/.
MISCELLANEOUS TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Other Terms and Policies. This Privacy Notice is to be read in conjunction with KEGEL’s Terms of Use, Connected-Product Terms of Use, and any applicable End User License Agreements. Your access to and use of our Websites, App, and Services may also be subject to any separate agreements or terms and conditions you have signed or agreed to with KEGEL (including Distribution Agreements). Please refer to those agreements as needed.

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your Personal Information under applicable data protection and privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), other U.S. state privacy laws, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK GDPR, the Japan Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI), the Korea Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), and other applicable laws. We are committed to honoring these rights for all individuals, regardless of location, to the extent required by applicable law.
Your Rights. Subject to applicable law and certain exceptions, you may have the following rights with respect to your Personal Information:
Right to Know/Access. You may have the right to request information about the Personal Information we have collected about you, including the categories and specific pieces of Personal Information, the sources, the purposes for processing, and the categories of third parties to whom we have disclosed your information.
Right to Correction/Rectification. You may have the right to request that we correct inaccurate Personal Information we hold about you, taking into account the purposes of the processing.
Right to Deletion/Erasure. You may have the right to request that we delete your Personal Information, subject to certain exceptions (such as compliance with legal obligations, completion of transactions, or security purposes).
Right to Data Portability. You may have the right to receive a copy of your Personal Information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit that data to another controller without hindrance.
Right to Restrict/Limit Processing. You may have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your Personal Information in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of your data or object to processing.
Right to Object. You may have the right to object to certain types of processing of your Personal Information, including processing based on legitimate interests or processing for direct marketing purposes.
Right to Opt Out of Sales, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising. You may have the right to opt out of: (a) the “sale” of your Personal Information (as defined under applicable U.S. state privacy laws); (b) the “sharing” of your Personal Information for cross-context behavioral advertising; and (c) profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects. You may exercise these opt-out rights by contacting us at privacy@kegel.net. We also recognize the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as a valid opt-out request.
Right to Withdraw Consent. Where we rely on your consent to process your Personal Information, you may have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
Right to Non-Discrimination. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights. We will not deny you goods or services, charge you different prices, provide a different level or quality of service, or take other retaliatory action for exercising your rights.
Right to Lodge a Complaint. If you believe that our processing of your Personal Information violates applicable law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your jurisdiction. For EEA/UK residents, this is your local data protection authority. For Japan residents, this is the Personal Information Protection Commission (PPC). For Korea residents, this is the Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC).
How to Exercise Your Rights.
To exercise any of your rights described above, you may submit a request to us using any of the following methods:
• Email:privacy@kegel.net (please include “Privacy Request” in the subject line)

Verification. When you submit a request, we will take steps to verify your identity before processing your request. We may ask you to provide information that matches the information we have on file about you. Depending on the sensitivity of the Personal Information and the nature of the request, we may require additional verification measures. We will respond to verified requests within the timeframes required by applicable law.
Authorized Agents. You may designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf. If you use an authorized agent, we may require proof of their authorization (such as a signed written permission or power of attorney) and may also require you to directly verify your identity with us.
Appeal Process. If we decline to take action on your request, you have the right to appeal our decision. To appeal, please contact us at privacy@kegel.net with the subject line “Privacy Appeal” and provide a description of your original request and the basis for your appeal.

International Data Transfers. KEGEL is headquartered in the United States. Your Personal Information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in countries other than your country of residence, including the United States, the European Union, Japan, and the Republic of Korea. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country.
When we transfer Personal Information outside the EEA, UK, Switzerland, Japan, or Korea to countries that have not been deemed to provide an adequate level of data protection, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as: (a) European Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses (and the UK Addendum/IDTA, as applicable); (b) your consent, where permitted; (c) the performance of a contract with you; or (d) other lawful transfer mechanisms under applicable law. As noted in Section 4, KEGEL’s connected-product data may be stored on cloud servers in multiple regions with data replication across KEGEL’s global infrastructure.
Legal Basis for Processing (EEA, UK, Switzerland, Japan, and Korea).
Where required by applicable law, we process your Personal Information only when we have a valid legal basis to do so. Our legal bases include: (a) Consent - where you have given us clear consent to process your Personal Information for a specific purpose; (b) Contract - where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract; (c) Legal Obligation - where processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject; (d) Vital Interests - where processing is necessary to protect your vital interests or those of another person; and (e) Legitimate Interests - where processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or those of a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms.

KEGEL COOKIE NOTICE
Last Updated: September 3, 2026
This Cookie Notice explains how KEGEL LLC (“KEGEL,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our websites, mobile applications, and connected-product platforms (collectively, the “Services”). This Cookie Notice should be read together with our Privacy Notice.
1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners. We also use similar technologies such as pixels, web beacons, and local storage, which function in a similar manner.
Cookies can be “first-party cookies” (set by us) or “third-party cookies” (set by a third party, such as an analytics or advertising provider). Cookies can also be “session cookies” (which are deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent cookies” (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
2. CATEGORIES OF COOKIES WE USE
Strictly Necessary Cookies. These cookies are essential for the operation of our Services. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. You cannot opt out of these cookies because the Services cannot function properly without them. Examples include cookies that enable you to log into secure areas, use a shopping cart, or access your account settings.
Performance and Analytics Cookies. These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Services, such as which pages are visited most often and whether users receive error messages. These cookies do not collect information that identifies individual visitors. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and used to improve how our Services work. We use various analytics providers, which may include Google Analytics, Squarespace, Shopify, Lucky Orange, and other third-party analytics tools. For a current list of analytics providers, please review our cookie consent management platform.
Functional Cookies. These cookies allow our Services to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or region) and provide enhanced, personalized features. They may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
Targeting and Advertising Cookies. These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies remember that you have visited a website, and this information may be shared with other organizations, such as advertisers. Our advertising partners may include Meta (Facebook), YouTube (Google), Squarespace, and other third-party advertising networks. For a current list of advertising partners, please review our cookie consent management platform.
Social Media Cookies. These cookies are set by social media services (such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and X) that we have added to our Services to enable you to share our content with your networks. These third parties may use cookies to track your online activity and may combine it with other information to deliver targeted advertising.
3. COOKIE TABLE
The specific cookies and tracking technologies used on our Services are managed through our consent management platform (Cookiebot/Usercentrics). A detailed and dynamically updated list of cookies by name, provider, purpose, category, and duration is available through the cookie consent banner on each website and at kegel.net/privacy. This cookie table is automatically synchronized with our consent management platform to ensure accuracy and is reviewed periodically.
Automatic Cookie and Script Management. KEGEL uses a consent management platform (CMP) to automatically manage the deployment of cookies and scripts on our websites. When you interact with our cookie consent banner, the CMP automatically enables or disables cookies and scripts based on your preferences. This automated approach ensures that your consent choices are accurately reflected across all tracking technologies used on our Services. The CMP maintains a real-time inventory of all cookies and scripts, which is reflected in the cookie disclosures available through the consent banner and at kegel.net/privacy.
4. HOW TO MANAGE COOKIES

Cookie Consent Banner and Privacy Preference Center. When you first visit our Services, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner (powered by Cookiebot/Usercentrics) that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your cookie preferences at any time through our cookie consent management tool, accessible via the cookie settings link in the footer of our websites or by visiting kegel.net/privacy.
Browser Settings. Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these settings in the “Options” or “Preferences” menu of your browser. The following links may help you understand your options:

5. LEGAL BASIS FOR COOKIES (EEA, UK, AND SWITZERLAND)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the legal basis for our use of cookies depends on the type of cookie:

6. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
Some of our third-party cookie providers are located outside the EEA, UK, or Switzerland.
