What is personal information?

Personal information is any information or an opinion about an identified individual or an individual who can be reasonably identified from the information or opinion. Information or an opinion may be personal information regardless of whether it is true or not.

What information does Kincora collect about you?

We collect information from visitors to our website using cookies. We use cookies to log standard technical information such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, page interactions and browser information.

We may also collect personal information from you if you choose to subscribe to our company updates (typically by email), including your name, phone number and email address. We will collect this information directly from you where possible.

We may collect personal information about members of the public who participate in events we are involved with; individual service providers and contractors to Kincora; and other individuals who interact with us on a commercial basis. The personal information we collect will depend on the capacity in which you are dealing with Kincora. Generally, the personal information that we collect about you would include your identity and contact information and information regarding our interactions and transactions with you.  This may also include banking details from time to time.

If you are participating in an event we are managing or delivering, we may take images or audio-visual recordings which identify you.

You can always decline to give Kincora any personal information we request, but that may mean we cannot communicate with you or respond to your queries; and in the case of our events, it may limit your ability to participate. If you have any concerns about personal information we have requested, please let us know.

How and why does Kincora collect and use your personal information?

Kincora collects personal information reasonably necessary to carry out our business. We may also collect information to fulfil administrative functions associated with these services, for example entering into contracts with you and/or third parties and managing client relationships.
