Remaining anonymous or using a pseudonym when dealing with us

Access, review, correction and update of your personal information

You may always contact us to request access to or correction of your personal information we may have stored about you including to ensure it is current, complete and accurate. Kennedy may refuse access to some or all of your personal information if required or permitted by law, such as where providing access would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of other individuals or would reveal commercially sensitive information. If we do, we will explain in writing why (unless this would be unreasonable) and how to complain if you are not satisfied with our decision.

You may also ask us to correct any of your personal information you believe is inaccurate, incomplete, out-of-date, misleading or irrelevant. We will take reasonable steps to correct it unless we disagree with your reasons. If we refuse your request, we will explain why in writing (unless this would be unreasonable) and how to complain if you are not satisfied with our decision.

You may either use the contact details below or contact our Consumer Service. We will respond to your request within a reasonable time and usually within 30 days. Please note that prior to accessing and making changes to your account, we must verify your identity properly. It may take up to 10 business days before any changes we make take effect.

Data storage and security

We store your personal information in hard copy and electronically. Electronic information is stored by a third party storage provider.

Access to a number of Kennedy services are protected by access restrictions based on user name and password. It is important that you always choose a password which is hard to guess for others and protect your password against disclosure.

All external transmissions of personal information facilitated by us are protected by encryption. All data storage, at Kennedy and Kennedy operated computer facilities as well as at business partner facilities, will be subject to written contracts which require them to keep the personal information secure and only use or disclose it for the limited purpose for which it was provided.

Generally, processing of personal information will take place in accordance with best practices concerning data security.

The secure handling of personal information is controlled by documented policies and procedures, including data encryption, strict physical and logical access control, security back-up, failover, anti-malware protection, monitoring and vulnerability detection mechanisms.

Once Kennedy no longer requires your personal information for any permitted purpose or is not required by law to keep it, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify that information. These steps may vary depending on the nature of the information, the way it was collected and how it was stored.

Please contact Kennedy immediately if you believe that the personal information we hold about you may have been lost or stolen, or subject to any unauthorised access, modification, interference or disclosure.
