The Full Policy

This policy applies to Our website We operate, Our use of emails and text messages for marketing purposes and for any other methods We use for collecting information. It covers what We collect, and why, what We do with this information, what We don’t do with this information, and the rights you have.

What information do We collect and why?

We only collect your personal information that you have voluntarily chosen to provide to Us, and We will only collect personal information that We need, including information that will help Us to improve Our services.

We collect two kinds of information:

Non-personal data such as the web pages that have been accessed and files that have been downloaded. This helps Us understand how many people use Our site, how many people visit on a regular basis, and how popular Our pages are. This information allows Us to monitor and improve Our services.

Personal data such as name, postal address, phone number, email address and IP address, information about and information about your interest in Our services. We may also collect personal data through the technology described in the Use of Cookies section below.

We collect this information in connection with specific activities, such as newsletter requests, document downloads, feedback and other activities. The information is either needed to fulfil your request or to enable Us to provide you with a more personalised service. You don’t have to disclose any of this information to browse Our websites. However, if you do choose to withhold requested information, We may not be able to provide you with certain services or full functionality.

What do We do with the information?

We will use the information you provide to:

  • Fulfil your requests – such as providing information about Our services
  • Record any contact We have with you
  • Prevent or detect any abuses of Our websites and to enable third parties to carry out technical or other functions on Our behalf
  • Help Us to gain a better understanding of Our customers and users to enable Us to improve Our service
  • Communicate with Our customers
  • If you have agreed to it, provide information that We think may be of interest to you

Visitors to Our Website

When someone visits www.kapi.as We use a third-party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make, and do not allow Google find out the identities of those visiting our website.

Website engine

Our website is powered by WordPress. No user-specific data is collected by either Us or any third-party.

Email Communications

We use a third-party provider, SendinBlue (see Sub-Processors below), to deliver a range of email communications, including but not limited to: our monthly e-newsletters, event invitations, product updates, and industry news. We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies including clear gifs to help Us monitor and improve Our e-newsletter.

Third-Party Websites

Our website contains links to third-party websites that We believe may be of interest to Our website visitors and customers. This privacy policy only governs Our website and We are not responsible for the privacy policies that govern third-party websites even where We have provided links to them, nor are We responsible for your experience on such sites. If you use any link on Our website We recommend you read the privacy policy of that website before sharing any personal or financial data.

Social media sites

We operate a number of social media pages (including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram). Although this policy covers how We will use any data collected from those pages it does not cover how the providers of social media websites themselves will use your information. Please ensure you read the applicable privacy policy of the social media website before sharing data and make informed use of the privacy settings and reporting mechanisms to control how your data is used and its visibility.

Email Request for Information

We use links throughout Our website to provide you with opportunities to contact Us via email or web forms for various reasons, including to ask questions, request information about Our products and services and to provide comments and suggestions. You may also be offered the opportunity to have one of Our representatives contact you personally to provide additional information about Our products and services. To do so, We may request additional personal information from you, such as your name and telephone number, to help Us fulfil your specific request.

Surveys

Occasionally We may request information from customers, subscribers and website visitors via electronic surveys. Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary and you have a choice whether or not to participate and disclose information to Us. Survey information will only be used for monitoring or improving Our website, and improving Our products and services.

  • We believe it is necessary to protect or defend Our rights, property or the personal safety of Our people or visitors to Our premises or websites
  • We work with carefully selected partners that carry out work on Our behalf. We may ask Our partners to store your data or send emails. We only choose partners We can trust. We will only pass personal data to them if they have signed a contract with Us that requires them to:
