Privacy Policy
Introduction
Global Kinect Limited (registered in England and Wales, with its registered office at 13 Hanover Square, London W1S 1HN) is the data controller for this site and is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you interact with our website and services.
Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly, such as contact details when you submit enquiries, use our calculators, or request proposals.
How We Use Your Information
We use your information to respond to enquiries, provide our Employer of Record and payroll services, improve our website, and send relevant communications if you've opted in. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
Lawful Basis for Processing
We rely on Article 6(1)(b) of the UK GDPR — performance of a contract, or steps taken at your request prior to entering into a contract — when you submit demo enquiries, contact-form messages, or proposal requests, and for the ongoing provision of services to existing customers. We rely on Article 6(1)(f) — legitimate interests — when you submit your work email and inputs to one of our calculators, so that we can provide a useful indicative calculation and follow up on serious enquiries. We rely on Article 6(1)(a) — your consent — for any marketing communications you have opted in to receive; you may withdraw this consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
How Long We Keep Your Information
Lead-capture data (gate emails, demo enquiries, proposal requests) is retained for 24 months from your last interaction with us, unless the relationship has converted to an active customer engagement. Customer data is retained for the duration of the contract, plus the statutory minimum required by UK tax and employment law (typically six years after the relationship ends). Calculator inputs are not stored on our infrastructure beyond the lead-capture record described above. Marketing opt-in records are retained until you withdraw consent, or after 36 months of inactivity. Server and hosting access logs are retained per our hosting provider's default policy (typically 30 days).
Third Parties Who Process Your Data on Our Behalf
We use the following processors to deliver this site and the services it offers, each bound by an appropriate data-processing agreement: Netlify, Inc. (hosting and form-submission processing); Sanity.io (blog and resource content management); and Google LLC (embedded calendar widget for booking demos, where displayed). We do not transfer your personal data to any other third party except where required by law.
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
Your Rights
Under applicable data protection laws, you have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. You also have the right to restrict or object to certain processing activities. Contact us to exercise these rights.
