Privacy Policy
At times, Kontain Limited will collect certain personal information about our customers, the visitors to our website and enquirers who may contact us in other ways such as over the phone or by writing to us. This Privacy Policy aims to explain to people whose personal information we may collect and hold, what types of information we collect, and how that information is used.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand our practices regarding personal information and how we will treat it. By providing personal data to us in any way, you consent to us processing your personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
The information we collect and how we collect it
The information we collect and how we collect it
The personal information which we collect from you may include information such as name, address, telephone number and email address. Depending on the capacity you contact us, the information we collect may also include information about your place of work, job title, and position. We will usually collect this information when you visit our website, order a service from us, make a transaction, raise an enquiry with us or if you respond to one of our questionnaires or competitions. We will also collect this information from you if you raise an enquiry about being a business partner or reseller.
If you contact us by telephone, by email, submit an enquiry form, or write to us or raise an enquiry, the content of those communications may also include personal data, and we may keep a copy of that correspondence on our records.
We might, in some cases, collect more detailed information from you, including sensitive personal data. This will include if you respond to a job advertisement or send us a CV to an enquiry about working with us. We might collect information from you about any disabilities you may have for us to make reasonable adjustments if necessary, such as attending an interview with us.
If you provide us with information about any other person, for example, any other individuals within your organisation, you must ensure that you have all the necessary permissions and consents to pass those details to us and use those details in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
In addition to personal data from which we can identify an individual, we sometimes also collect and hold non-personally identifiable information. That type of information is gathered automatically when you visit our website or those websites hosted by us and stored for use in our system. For example, we may log the websites you visit, collect IP addresses and information about your operating system and the type of browser you use for the purposes of network or system administration and to audit the use of our website. This data, however will not be used to identify individual users.
Uses of personal data
Uses of personal data
When we collect personal information from you, it will be held on our records and used for the proper administration of our business, including where relevant, for the purposes of providing our services to you (or the organisation which you represent) and to advise you of matters relevant to service provision, for the performance of our contracts and to deal with any enquiries or complaints which you may raise.
We may also use the information for other business purposes, such as market research activities that we may undertake on occasion.
From time to time, we may also use your personal information to contact you about promotional offers for other products and services that we think may be of interest to you. We may, in some cases, also seek your feedback. However, we will provide you with an option within every communication to opt-out of receiving any further communications of this nature or you can contact us at any time to ensure that you do not receive such promotional information.
Any information we collect from you through correspondence with us, whether via email, over the phone or by written letter, will only be used to address the matters within that correspondence. If this involves referring such correspondence to a third party to ensure customer service, your personal information will only be disclosed to the point necessary to address your query or concerns and we will make clear that the information is to be treated confidentially. From time to time we might also appoint external third parties to help us with our business functions for example, external consultants and sub-contractors. We, therefore may make your data available to those entities if reasonable to do so as part of our usual business practices.
We take reasonable steps to protect the confidentiality of the personal information supplied by you. However, the transmission of information via the internet can never be guaranteed as entirely secure and therefore, any transmission of data is at your own risk.
