Third Party Services
This Privacy Notice does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy information or other practices of any third parties, including any third party operating any website or service to which the Services link. The inclusion of a link on the Services does not imply endorsement of the linked site or service by us or by our affiliates.
Security
We seek to use reasonable organisational, technical and administrative measures to protect Personal Data within KC. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please immediately notify us in accordance with the “Contacting Us” section below.

We will try to comply with your request(s) as soon as reasonably practicable. Please note that if you opt-out of receiving emails from us, we may still send you important administrative and Service or transaction-related messages, which you cannot opt out of.
How individuals can access, change or suppress their Personal Data
If you would like to request to review, correct, update, suppress, restrict or delete Personal Data that you have previously provided to us, or if you would like to request to receive an electronic copy of your Personal Data for purposes of transmitting it to another company (to the extent this right to data portability is provided to you by applicable law), you may contact us. Information about how to contact KC for this purpose is set out in the section headed “Contacting Us” below. We will respond to your request consistent with applicable law.
In your request, please make clear what Personal Data you would like to have changed, whether you would like to have the Personal Data suppressed from our database or otherwise let us know what limitations you would like to put on our use of the Personal Data.

There may also be residual information that will remain within our databases and other records, which will not be removed.

The criteria used to determine our retention periods include: (i) the length of time we have an ongoing relationship with our clients and provide the Services; (ii) whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject; and (iii) whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position (such as in regard to applicable statutes of limitations, litigation or regulatory investigations).
