KMK Consulting Inc
Market Research Privacy Notice


The Purpose of this privacy notice is to explain how KMK Consulting Inc, thereafter referred to as KMK, processes personal data to fulfil its data protection responsibilities when providing its market research services.  KMK has global reach which often necessitates unique policies for certain jurisdictions. This notice is based on KMK’s obligations to the European Union (EU) and UK requirements as stated in their respective versions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as this is deemed to set an appropriate level for the responsible processing of personal data.

KMK works across marketing sciences, forecasting, sales force effectiveness and data management domains in response to customers’ requirements. While this notice focuses on market research, all aspects of these services may process personal data.

Personal Data (PD) as defined by the GDPR will be used in this notice although the term Personal Information (PI) is used in North America and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in particular.

The Role of KMK in data protection terms is that of a data controller where it determines the purpose and use of personal data collected. Once received, personal data collected becomes the responsibility of the KMK Privacy Manager (PM) contactable using kmk.mr.ar@kmkconsultinginc.com.  The Privacy Manager ensures that all processing accords with the latest data protection legislation

The categories of personal data collected by KMK will be basic contact details sufficient to respond to general enquiries, inquire about future engagements, and fulfil the needs of the particular market research being commissioned. The latter may include information about health referred to as both special category data or sensitive information.

The KMK websites use cookies and similar technologies to generate aggregated information including site traffic statistics, page views, impressions, and operating system and browser type. When pages are requested, the KMK servers automatically log IP addresses. In addition, KMK uses NextRoll technology to collect on-line identifiers to measure and analyse traffic and browsing activities across its sites and show relevant advertisements for our products and services via third-party sites.

KMK’s duty of confidentiality means that KMK staff will treat your personal data with due respect and in confidence.  It is only disclosed to those that need to know it. We expect the same duty of confidentiality from all third parties with whom KMK shares personal data and where appropriate, data processing agreements are in place.  

KMK is committed to compliance with the new EU-US Data Privacy Framework that entered into force on 10 July 2023.  Whilst the majority of processing takes place in North America, KMK uses personal data collected from people in the EU and the UK.  The framework is enforced by the US Federal Trade Commission and ensures there is broad equivalency in the handling of personal data by a US based organization as would happen where that processing would take place in the EU.  This is particularly relevant for the exercise of people’s rights as defined by the EU & UK GDPR as well as the handling of complaints.

KMK uses appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard all personal data for all of its global operations.

KMK processes personal data against a lawful basis and such instances are described below:

  • To process any personal data that we collect from you via surveys and/or focus groups, we will seek your consent to do so – but please note you can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting the KMK Privacy Manager

In all cases the processing of personal data by KMK shall be done in accordance with the principles of data protection.

KMK will share and/or disclose personal data, on a ‘need to know’ basis under the following circumstances, with some or all of the following:

  • NextRoll which is a third-party partner (see above) and to read more about the technologies used and their cross-device capabilities, please refer to NextRoll’s privacy notice: https://www.nextroll.com/privacy
  • Another business in conjunction with a sale to that third-party as the personal data collected by KMK forms a portion of its assets
  • Contractors for outsourced services (e.g. recruiters)

 

KMK will not use or share your personal data in ways unrelated to the those described above without first notifying you and offering a choice of permitting your personal data be used or not in ways unrelated to those described above.  You also have the option of updating the information you provided on the contact form and in some circumstances, you may opt out to receiving notification from us.  To do so, please contact the privacy manager using the details above.

 

KMK follows a retention schedule to determine the length of time it holds different types of personal data.  Personal data is only retained for as long as it is required for the purpose unless we are required by law to retain it for longer.

  • Personal data used for market research will routinely be retained for 3 months after we have delivered our report.
