External Websites

This website may include links to external websites. This Privacy Policy is applicable solely to this website, so please make sure to review the privacy policy of the other website provider as well. We accept no responsibility for the functioning, content, or policies of external websites.

Filing Complaints

For further details regarding this policy or to lodge a complaint about our handling of your personal information, please reach out to us at info@kingsleymarketing.co.uk.

Amendments to This Privacy Notice

Legal Basis 

The legal foundation we rely upon for processing your data is Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which permits us to process personal data for the legitimate interests pursued by us or a third party. Occasionally, we may also rely on Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, which allows us to process your personal data with your consent (for example, when we seek your consent for the optional cookies we use). When processing special categories of personal data, we rely on Article 9(f) of the GDPR if the processing is related to a legal claim. Additionally, we may at times rely on other legal bases for processing special category personal data, such as Article 9(b) if you are an employee. 

Data Retention Periods 

We will retain your personal information in compliance with applicable laws, typically in line with the statutory limitation period. Should you contact us without proceeding with a claim, we may keep your personal information for a brief period. This measure ensures we can effectively track and monitor any attempted fraud and assists us in distinguishing between service calls and new enquiries.

Automated Decision-Making Processes

We may utilise the personal information you provide to conduct automated decision-making processes to verify your identity and perform other legally and regulatory required checks (such as a credit history check or sanctions applicability). Should any issues arise from these checks (for instance, if your identity cannot be verified or other checks indicate potential impediments to continuing our legal services to you), a human-led forensic analysis will be undertaken. Any decision not to act on your behalf will not be made solely by automated means.

Transferring Personal Data Internationally

To deliver our services, we may need to transfer your personal data to locations outside the UK, as outlined in this privacy policy. This could involve moving your information from within the European Economic Area (EEA) to outside the EEA, or vice versa. The level of data protection in countries outside the EEA may be lower than within the EEA. When this occurs, we will implement appropriate measures to ensure your personal information remains protected and secure, in compliance with applicable data protection laws. If our third-party service providers process personal data outside the EEA while providing services to us, our written agreements with them will include appropriate safeguards, typically standard contractual clauses.

For further information or any questions about our privacy policy or practices, please contact us.
