Privacy Policy

At KDA, we take your privacy very seriously. We hate spam just as much as you do and will never sell, rent or otherwise distribute or make public any personal information that you may share with us.

The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. It will also outline your rights with respect to the data that we collect.

What is Personal Data?

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (you, the 'data subject') by us (the 'data controller') or any other third party. An identifiable natural person, as defined by the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is "one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, such as by a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person".

What are Cookies?

A cookie is a small piece of data that a website stores on your device when you visit it. A cookie typically contains information about the website itself, a unique identifier that allows the site to recognise your web browser when you return, additional data that serves the purpose of the cookie, and the lifespan of the cookie itself.

Cookies are used to enable certain features (e.g. logging in), to track site usage (e.g. analytics), to store your user settings (e.g. timezone, notification preferences), and to personalise your content (e.g. advertising, language).

The only non-necessary cookies used on this website are those used by Squarespace Analytics, as outlined below under ‘Site Visitation Tracking’. By using the Website with cookies enabled, you agree that we can place these types of cookies on your device.
