Privacy policy

of our online store

KamadoSpace is committed to responsible information handling practices. You can visit any of the pages on our site without giving us any information about yourself, but sometimes we need information (our contact page) to reach you regarding questions, comments, or information that you request. This privacy statement explains data collection and use in those situations. By visiting our website, you consent to the information practices described in this policy.

I. Confidentiality

We will treat all your personal information as private and confidential (even when you are no longer a customer). Nothing about your accounts nor your name and address will be disclosed to anyone, other than in four exceptional cases permitted by law. These are:

  • Where we are legally compelled to do so;
  • Where there is a duty to the public to disclose;
  • Where disclosure is required to protect our interest;
    (This will not be used as a reason for disclosing information about you or your accounts, including your name and address, to anyone else for marketing purposes.)
  • Where disclosure is made at your request or with your consent.
    (This can be either as a result of an application for a product or by signing an explicit declaration as part of the application. Consent does not need to be in writing if the service is provided over the telephone.)
  • From time to time we will employ agents and sub-contractors to process information on our behalf. The same duty of confidentiality and security will apply to our agents and sub-contractors and all processing will only be carried out under our instruction and will be supported by written contract.

II. Using Your Personal Information

  • Providing the service for which you have applied
  • Your details will be used in providing the service you applied for and for the ongoing administration of the service we provide.

III. Keeping you Informed

There may be times when we feel that a service or product offered by us or a selected third party may benefit you. We may use information we obtain from your account transactions, in this decision-making process. To make you aware of the service or product we may contact you by mail, telephone, fax, e-mail or other reasonable method to give you further details, so that you can make an informed choice. You are, of course, under no obligation to apply for any of the services or products offered. If you prefer not to receive any of this information, please write to us at info@kamadospace.co.uk.
