Personal data is defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/679) (the “GDPR”) 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 or account codes for example.

KINTZING understand that your privacy is important to you and we are committed to protecting your privacy and meeting all our statutory obligations.

KINTZING will only store your data in the UK and EEA. This means it will be fully protected under the GDPR
