By continuing to use our Website and services, which includes the purchase of our products (“Services”), you agree to our Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) and this Privacy Notice for the collection and processing of your Personal Data.

This Privacy Notice sets out our use of any and all data collected by us in relation to your use of our website, www.karimunro.com  ( “Website”). The Website is operated by Kari Munro London represented by Kari Munro (“KML”, “we”, “us”, “our”, “ourselves”).

For the purposes of processing your Personal Data, we are the Data Controller (as defined under Article 4 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“GDPR”). Personal Data (“Data”) shall have the meaning given to it under Article 4 of the GDPR 2016/679, and which is more particularly defined in this Privacy Notice below. 

This Privacy Notice should be read in conjunction with our Terms. We may amend or update this Notice from time to time and will publish revised versions on this Website. We reserve the right to alter and make changes to this Notice at our sole discretion and we therefore request all users to regularly refer to our Privacy Notice for updates and variations.

Any references to “Personal Data” in this Notice therefore means information about living individuals, which, alone or in conjunction with other information held by us is capable of identifying them. The GDPR 2016/679, the UK GDPR, The Data Protection Act 2018 and any other national implementing legislation relating to data protection in the UK, regulate our use of your Personal Data (collectively “Applicable Data Protection Law”). 

In order to provide our Services or for the purposes of conducting our business we may need the following Data from the individuals we are dealing with (“you”, “yours”, “yourself/yourselves”).

If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your Child has provided us with Personal Data without your consent, please contact us. Unless contacted by a parent or legal guardian, we have no way of knowing that Personal Data was submitted by a Child without parental consent. As a parent/legal guardian you understand that that the onus of controlling your Child’s Personal Data lies on you. If we become aware, after notification by a parent/legal guardian or the Children themselves, that we have collected Personal Data from Children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers. 

Lawful basis for processing your Personal Data

The following is the lawful basis for processing your Personal Data:

Consent

In order to avail of our Services, you consent to us obtaining and processing your Personal Data. While dealing with you we may issue terms and conditions (Terms of Business”) or execute a contract outlining the terms and conditions of our engagement with you. The Terms of Business/contract along with this Notice set out the purposes for which your Personal Data may be obtained and processed by us. By accepting the Terms of Business or by using our Website or by executing a contract with us and by continuing to deal with us you confirm that you have consented to us processing your Personal Data in accordance with our Terms and this Privacy Notice.

Contractual necessity

One of the grounds for obtaining and processing your Personal Data is so that we can perform our Services in line with the scope of work and Terms of Business mutually agreed to by us.

Compliance with legal obligations

We may have to collect Personal Data in order to comply with certain legislative and regulatory requirements relating to client due diligence. Consequently, we may process your Data to carry out identity checks and maintain records of customer due diligence.

We may employ third party service providers for the purposes of carrying out client identity checks. However, we remain the Data Controllers.  

Legitimate interests

In circumstances where you are a client or are an employee at KML we may have to process your Personal Data to promote and pursue legitimate interests of the public and/or our organisation, and/or yours as our client or employee.  

* However, you can object to us processing your Personal Data, on any of these bases at any time and, if you do so, we will stop processing the Personal Data unless we can show compelling legitimate grounds which override your rights and interests such as, without limitation your own health and safety or the health and safety of any other person(s), or the legitimate interest of our organisation and/or the public or we need the Data to establish, exercise or defend legal claims – see “Your rights” below.

Who may use your information?

We are committed to keeping your e-mail address confidential. We do not sell, rent, or lease the subscription lists to third parties. We may disclose your Personal Data to enforce our policies, to comply with our legal obligations (such as if we are required to disclose your Personal Data under a court order, legal requirement and/or regulatory requirement) or in the interests of security, public interest, or law enforcement in any country where we have entities or affiliates. For example, we may respond to a request by a law enforcement agency or regulatory or governmental authority. We may also disclose Data in connection with actual or proposed litigation, or to protect our property, security, people and other rights or interests.

We may share your Personal Data with our employees, independent contractors, consultants, partners and/or third parties who help deliver our Services to you. Examples include hosting our web servers, analysing data, providing marketing and administration assistance, and providing customer service. These companies will have access to your personal information as necessary to perform their functions, but they may not use that Data for any other purpose. Our contracts with all third parties processing our client’s Personal Data shall outline their obligations relating to data protection. 

We may share aggregated anonymised data with third parties in order to monitor our Services and to ensure consistent quality and safety relating to the Services provided to clients.

Social Media

Please remember that when you share information publicly on the Website or on social media platforms, for example a comment on a blog post or within social media groups, it may be indexable by search engines, including Google, which may mean that the information is made public.

When you participate in conversations on social media your Personal Data is visible to members of the concerned social media group and to the public in general. Please note that you participate in social media related activities at your sole discretion, and we shall not be liable for the access and use of your Personal Data by third parties, via social media, including circumstances, where third parties contact you or initiate a conversation with you, on social media or otherwise, as a result of your information made available to them via our social media groups or any activity you participate in through our social media platforms or by connecting with us on social media.

Storing Your Personal Data

We may transfer data that we collect from you to locations outside of the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area for processing and storing. Also, it may be processed by staff operating outside the European Economic Area who work for us or for one of our suppliers. For example, such staff may be engaged in the processing and concluding of your order, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services. By submitting your Personal Data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all reasonable steps to make sure that your data is treated securely and in agreement with this Privacy Notice.

In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) we have confirmed with all of the companies that process data on our behalf or that we use to provide Services or products that where Personal Data is involved they are compliant and retain compliance with the GDPR.

Data that is provided to us is stored on our secure servers. Details relating to any transactions entered into on our Website will be encrypted to ensure its safety.

The transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure and therefore we cannot guarantee the security of Data sent to us electronically and transmission of such Data is therefore entirely at your own risk. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password so that you can access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential.

Our policy is that we retain your Personal Data for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Notice, or as is required by applicable law. All of the Personal Data is disposed of securely to ensure compliance with Applicable Data Protection Law.

Where is your information processed?

Hosting and back-end infrastructure

 

We use third-party hosting services for the purposes of hosting data and files that enable our Website to run and be distributed as well as to enable us to run specific features and functions within our Website. Some of these functions work through geographically distributed servers, thereby making it difficult to identify the exact location where the Personal Data is stored. 

Transfer of Personal Data

We may also use outsourced services in countries outside the UK as well as the EEA (European Economic Area) from time to time in other aspects of our business. Accordingly, data obtained within the UK, or any other country could be processed outside the UK and the EEA.

Where we transfer Personal Data to third parties outside of the UK and the EEA, we will ensure that the recipients are aware of the provisions of the GDPR and Applicable Data Protection Laws and that they provide an adequate level of protection for the rights of persons whose Personal Data has been shared with them. 

In addition, all our inbound and outbound email communications are TSL (Transport Security Layer) encrypted.
