Privacy Notice

At KSDM, we understand that we have a responsibility to protect and respect your privacy and look after your personal data. This Privacy Notice, inclusive of our General Terms of Service, explains what personal data we collect, how we use your personal data, reasons we may need to disclose your personal data to others and how we store your personal data securely.

We must advise that this policy is subject to change, so please check our website on a regular basis for any further changes.

Privacy Notice

The title meta tag is by far the most important on-page ranking factor. It sends Google a strong relevancy signal. It helps the search engine to understand the topic of the page and assess its relevancy relative to the search query. Search engines also use the title tag to display your search listing’s title.Including the main keyword in the title tag will help Google establish the topic of a page and what queries to display it for. When optimizing the title tag, make sure that you include the keyword at the start. According to research Google weighs keywords from left to right, meaning that the search engine gives more value to words on the left of the title.

    On the closure of your account, we may keep your data for up to 7 years after you have cancelled your services with us. We may not be able to delete your data before this time due to our legal and/or accountancy obligations. We assure you that your personal data shall only be used for these purposes stated herein.

    Who has access to your personal data?

    Here is a list of all the ways that we may use your personal data and how we share the information with third parties. For clarity, we have grouped them into the specific products and services that we offer:

  • We process your data for administration, billing, support and the provision of services
  • Your data may be sent to third party suppliers both within and outside of the EEA.

    • Third Parties

    For the avoidance of doubt, we do not and never shall sell your personal data to third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

    We work closely with a number of third parties (including business parties, service providers and fraud protection services) and we may receive information from them about you. These third parties may collect information about you including, but not limited to, your IP address, device-specific information, server logs, device event information, location information, and unique application numbers. We use their features within our website, however, in some instances, they may be acting as data controller and they will have their own privacy policies, which we advise you to read.

    We may pass your personal data to third parties for the provision of services on our behalf (for example processing your payment). However, we will only ever share information about you that is necessary to provide the service and we have specific contracts in place, which ensure your personal data is secure and will not be used for any marketing purposes.

    We may share your information if we are acquired by a third party and therefore your data will be deemed an asset of the business. In these circumstances, we may disclose your personal data to the prospective buyer of our business, subject to both parties entering into appropriate confidentiality undertakings. Similarly, we may share your personal data if we are under a duty to disclose data in order to comply with any legal obligation or to protect the rights, property, or safety of KSDM, our customers, or others. This includes but is not limited to exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection, credit risk reduction and dispute policies. However, we will take steps with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected.

    In preventing the use or processing of your personal data, it may delay or prevent us from fulfilling our contractual obligations to you. It may also mean that we shall be unable to provide our services or process the cancellation of your service.

    You have the right to object to our use of your personal data, or ask us to delete, remove or stop using it if there is no need for us to keep it. This is known as your right to be forgotten. There are legal and accountancy reasons why we will need to keep your data, but please do inform us if you think we are retaining or using your personal data incorrectly.

    Our Privacy Notice shall be made clear to you at the point of collection of your personal data.

    You have the right to ask us not to process your personal data for marketing purposes. If you choose not to receive marketing communications from us about our products and services, you will have the choice not to choose these by ticking the relevant boxes situated on the pages either at sign up or other forms.

    We will not contact you for marketing purposes unless you have given us your prior consent. You can change your marketing preferences at any time by emailing info@kacpersaar.com

From time to time, your information may be transferred to and stored in a country outside the EEA in relation to provision of the services.

By providing your data to us, you agree to this transfer and storage. However, we will ensure that reasonable steps are taken to protect your data in accordance with this privacy notice.
