We may also keep hold of some of your information if it becomes necessary or required to meet legal obligations and requirements.

Data Security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed (safeguard its integrity and confidentiality). We also regularly review and, where practicable, improve upon these security measures. 

In addition, we limit access to your personal data to staff and other professional third parties who strictly need to know this information. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

Your Legal Rights

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data such as: 

  • Request access to your personal data

This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it. You may send an email to info@kellimni.com requesting information as the personal data which we process. 

  • Request correction (rectification) of your personal data

This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected and/or updated, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.  It is in your interest to keep us informed of any changes or updates to your personal data which may occur during the course of your relationship with us, since this may otherwise impair our ability to assist you.

  • Request erasure of your personal data

This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where: (a) there is no good reason for us continuing to process it; (b) you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below); (c) we may have processed your information unlawfully; or (d) we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law.

Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons at the time of your request. These may include instances where the retention of your personal data is necessary to: (a) comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject; or (b) establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.

  • Object to processing of your personal data

This may happen where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your personal information that override your rights and freedoms.

  • Request restriction of processing your personal data

This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your personal data, but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

  • Request transfer of your personal data

We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

  • Right to withdraw consent

Withdraw your consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data (which will generally not be the case). This will not however affect the lawfulness of any processing which we carried out before you withdrew your consent. Any processing activities that are not based on your specific consent will remain unaffected.

  • What we may need from you

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

  • Time limit to respond

We try to respond to all legitimate requests as soon as possible from the date of receiving your request. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

Kindly note that none of these data subject rights are absolute, and must generally be weighed against our own legal obligations and legitimate interests. If a decision is taken to override your data subject request, you will be informed of this by our data protection team along with the reasons for our decision.

Amendments

We reserve the right to make changes to this Notice in the future, which will be duly notified to you. If you have any questions regarding this Policy, or if you would like to send us your comments, please contact us using the details above.
