Introduction

We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website visitors.

This notice applies where we are acting as a data controller with respect to the personal data of our website visitors and service users; in other words, where we determine the purposes and means of the processing of that personal data.

We use cookies on our website. Insofar as those cookies are not strictly necessary for the provision of our website and services, we will ask you to consent to our use of cookies when you first visit our website.

Please note that this website contains links to other websites. Unless specifically stated otherwise, the collection and use of your personal information at other sites is not governed by this Notice.
In this notice, “Kerv”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Kerv Group Limited.

The type of personal information we collect

How we get the personal information

Most of the personal information we process is provided to us directly by you, for example when you sign up to the newsletter to receive information about Kerv.

We also receive and store certain types of personal information automatically whenever you interact with us online. For example, we use cookies and tracking technologies when your web browser.

Examples of the types of personal data we collect include: IP address, device ID, location data, computer and connection information such as browser type and version, time zone setting, browser plug-in types and versions and operating system.

Alternatively you can contact us at hello@kervgroup.com. Please specify whether you would like us to stop all forms of marketing or just a particular type (eg email).

Sharing Your Information

We may disclose your personal data insofar as reasonably necessary for the purposes, and on the legal bases, set out in this notice.

This may include:

We may disclose your personal data where such disclosure is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject, or in order to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another natural person. We may also disclose your personal data where such disclosure is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, whether in court proceedings or in an administrative or out-of-court procedure.

International Transfers

We will not share or transfer your personal data outside of the United Kingdom (“UK”) or European Economic Area (“EEA”) unless we have adequate safeguards in place.

Your personal information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different to the laws of the UK or the EEA.

We will take appropriate safeguards to require that your personal information will remain protected in accordance with this privacy notice when we share your personal information outside of the UK and EEA. These safeguards include transferring your Personal Information to third parties who are located in a country which the European Commission has determined has data protection laws that are at least as protective as those in the EEA, and transferring your personal information to third parties who have entered into Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent (according to EU Commission Decision (EU) 2021/914 or any future replacement) with us, in order to contractually ensure that your Personal Information is subject to a level of data protection which applies in Europe. For more information about these safeguards, please contact us at hello@kervgroup.com.

What legal bases do we rely on?

We generally rely on legitimate interests for processing your personal data (as long as our legitimate interests are not overridden by your data protection interests or other fundamental rights and freedoms). Our legitimate interests include sending you information about Kerv (when you sign up to the newsletter), responding to your queries, analysing the use of our websiteand using the personal data collected to better understand the needs of our customers.

We may, however, rely on any of the other following legal bases if appropriate:

How we store your personal information and how long it is kept

Your information is securely stored in an encrypted form to protect against unauthorised access or processing.

We retain your personal data where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so, and we only retain your personal data so long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was originally collected. For example, where you make a submit a query to us online, we will keep the personal data for a period which enables us to handle or respond to any complaints or concerns regarding our response or your query. 

We will actively review the personal data we hold and delete it securely, or in some cases anonymise it, when there is no longer a legal, business or consumer need for it to be retained. If this is not possible (for example, because your personal data has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
