Privacy Policy

Introduction

Kinley Consulting holds a strong belief that the growth of the Internet must rest on a foundation of trust and privacy. We also believe the distribution of information that is collected and used in a fair and responsible manner can help to fuel that growth to the benefit of all responsible users. Therefore Kinley Consulting are making this policy available to inform all our web site visitors about our activities and use of their private information.

This policy applies to all Kinley Consulting web sites. In this Policy, “Personal Data” means information which relates to an individual and which identifies that individual, either directly or indirectly (together with other information that is reasonably likely to come into Kinley’s possession), such as your name, e-mail address or telephone number.

At the outset we want to ensure all our visitors that we will never sell or transfer any of their details to a third party, nor will we publish them on our website without written permission.

Collection of Personal Data

Generally, you can visit Kinley websites without providing any Personal Data about yourself. However, for using our Contact pages to get in touch with us or other parts of the site such as applying for a job we will need to collect Personal Data from you. The purposes, for which your Personal Data is collected, are described below, along with a brief description of how your Personal Data may be handled in each case.

• Communicating with you. We will follow up on comments and other requests that you submit to us through our website, such as online queries or information you have chosen to provide. This may include calling you back by telephone or communicating with you via email. We may also send you our Newsletter, that contains an opt out link.
• Recruitment. If you submit a resume or job application online, we will use your Personal Data for recruitment-related purposes, which may include contacting you via email, telephone or post. Except where you request otherwise, Kinley Consulting may keep your Personal Data on file for an appropriate time in order to consider you for other employment opportunities with Kinley Consulting in the future. We normally produce a standardised Kinley version of your CV, but will never send it to any of our clients without your express permission.
• Direct marketing and promotion. Direct marketing and/or promotional efforts by or on behalf of Kinley Consulting may include providing you with specific information that you have requested online or providing more general information about other Kinley Consulting offerings. When we collect Personal Data for direct marketing or promotional purposes, however, we generally offer you appropriate choices regarding the use of your Personal Data, and the ability to opt out at any time.
• Maintaining the website and conducting customer satisfaction surveys. We will use your Personal Data in order to maintain and improve our website. We may also use your Personal Data in order to conduct customer satisfaction surveys. You always retain the right not to participate in customer satisfaction surveys.
• Compiling aggregate statistics regarding the use of its website.

Cookies and Clicktrails

We may collect information through our website by using cookies and clicktrails. All information collected by means of cookies or clicktrails will be anonymised, aggregated and only used to develop and track traffic patterns and the volume of use of our websites.

We make use of Google Analytics for this purpose.

Third-party suppliers

Like many organisations, we may use third-party suppliers to collect, use and otherwise process Personal Data on our behalf. Our practice is to require such third parties to handle Personal Data in accordance with Kinley’s privacy and security policies.

Legal disclosures

Kinley Consulting may disclose your Personal Data in order to enforce our website Terms of Use or in urgent circumstances to protect personal safety, the public or Kinley Consulting’s websites. It is also possible that we may be required by law to disclose your Personal Data pursuant to judicial or other government subpoenas, warrants, or orders, potentially, in any country where we do business.

Sensitive Personal Data

As a general rule, Kinley Consulting does not collect “Sensitive Personal Data” through its website. “Sensitive Personal Data” means Personal Data concerning racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade-union membership, or concerning health or sex life. By volunteering unsolicited sensitive Personal Data to us (e.g., by submitting your resume or a job application online), you expressly consent to your Personal Data being used as described in this Policy.

Accessing, correcting, updating and deleting Personal Data

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this Policy, or would like to request a copy of your Personal Data, have it deleted or updated then please use the Contact page to do so.

Data security and integrity

Kinley Consulting uses various technological and procedural security measures in order to protect the Personal Data we collect, use or transfer from loss, misuse, alteration or destruction. However, you should be aware that, due to the open and unsecured character of the Internet, Kinley Consulting can not be responsible for the security of transmissions of the Personal Data over the Internet.

Also, please be aware that all forms that are filled in on the website at www.kinleyconsulting.com should be transferred locally using email.

Third-party websites

Kinley Consulting websites may provide links to third-party websites. Kinley Consulting does not make any representations or warranties with respect to such third-party websites. You should be aware that the owners and operators of such third-party websites might collect, use or transfer personal data under different terms and conditions than Kinley Consulting. Upon linking to a third-party website, you should inform yourself of the privacy policies of such third party websites. You should also be aware that third-party websites may use cookies.
