privacy policy
Karve International Ltd (“Karve”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting any personal data you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and your rights under UK data protection law. By visiting www.karveinternational.com (“Our Site”), you can be confident that we only collect and use data responsibly and transparently.
1. DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATIONS
Karve International Ltd (“we”, “us”, “our”) is a company registered in England and Wales (Company No. 13679834) with its registered address at 37 Commercial Road, Poole, England, BH14 0HU. We are the controller of personal data collected through our website, www.karveinternational.com (“Our Site”).
2. WHAT DOES THIS POLICY COVER?
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and protect personal data you provide when using Our Site or subscribing to our newsletter. It also outlines your rights under UK data protection law. It does not apply to external websites linked from Our Site — those are subject to their own privacy notices.
3. WHAT IS PERSONAL DATA?
Personal data is defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/679) (the “GDPR”) and the Data Protection Act 2018 (collectively, “the Data Protection Legislation”) as ‘any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier’. Personal data is, in simpler terms, any information about you that enables you to be identified. Personal data covers obvious information such as your name and contact details, but it also covers less obvious information such as identification numbers, electronic location data, and other online identifiers.
4. WHAT ARE YOUR RIGHTS?
Under the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, you have rights to:
- Be informed how your data is used.
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction or deletion of inaccurate data.
- Object to or restrict certain types of processing.
- Withdraw consent at any time (where consent is the lawful basis).
- Lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if you believe your data has been mishandled.
You can exercise these rights at any time by contacting info@karveinternational.com.
6. WHAT DATA DO WE COLLECT & HOW?
NEWSLETTER SUBSCRIBERS
When you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your full name, job title, organisation, and email address.
We use this information solely to send you newsletters and professional updates related to our services, insights or events that may be relevant to your work. We do not share this data with third parties, use it for advertising, or engage in data profiling. Our lawful basis for processing this data is your consent, which you may withdraw at any time (see section 8). Newsletter data is retained for as long as you remain subscribed. If you unsubscribe, your data is promptly deleted unless required for record-keeping.
CONTACT FORM SUBMISSIONS
If you contact us through Our Site, we use the information you provide (e.g. name, email, organisation, message) only to respond to your enquiry.
This information is handled confidentially and not used for marketing unless you have separately subscribed to our newsletter.
Because such correspondence is initiated voluntarily and used solely for communication, it typically falls outside full GDPR scope — but we still treat it responsibly and securely. Enquiry data is retained only as long as needed to manage and respond to your query.
WEBSITE ANALYTICS
We use cookieless, anonymous web analytics to understand how Our Site is used.
These analytics tools do not use cookies, store personal identifiers, or create user profiles.
No personal data is collected, and we cannot identify individual visitors through analytics data.
Analytics data is aggregated and anonymised — it does not identify you personally.
We do not sell, rent, or exchange personal data with any third parties.
We use only trusted service providers to host Our Site and manage email communications, and they act solely under our instruction.
7. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the data we hold against unauthorised access, alteration or loss. While no online system is completely secure, we apply appropriate controls and review them periodically.
We may change this Privacy Notice from time to time. This may be necessary, for example, if the law changes, or if we change our business in a way that affects personal data protection. Any changes will be immediately posted on Our Site and you will be deemed to have accepted the terms of the Privacy Policy on your first use of Our Site following the alterations.
