What do we do with your personal information? 

We promise to respect any personal data you share with us, keep it safe and will not do anything that you would not reasonably expect. Below we explain what we do with your data and our legal basis for carrying out these processes:

SHARING YOUR PERSONAL DATA 

The Data Protection Act exists to protect the rights and privacy of an individual’s personal data. KnD3D is committed to this, and it should be noted that spouses, parents and friends have no automatic right of access to your personal data. However, there are occasions when KnD3D is obliged by law to disclose your personal data to external people or agencies. These are sometimes called third party disclosures. KnD3D has internal procedures to check that the disclosure is appropriate and that the third party is legitimate before any release takes place. These third parties are described as follows: 

  • Legal Authorities and Law Enforcement: Where disclosure is necessary for the prevention or detection of crime, KnD3D will release your information where necessary to these authorities. 
  • Service providers:  KnD3D may use services such as mailing houses under contract for relevant operations. 

KnD3D remains the Data Controller at all times. 

Overflow service providers: KnD3D may use overflow services to handle capacity. Build file data only is shared and KnD3D remains the Data Controller at all times. 

 

 

Retention of your personal information 

We will retain your personal information for as long as you maintain a relationship with KnD3D or until you inform us otherwise. When your relationship with us ends, we will ensure your personal data is securely removed. Some data such as any orders made with us, will be retained for record keeping in accordance with accounting best-practice and our legal obligations. 

 

 

How do we store your data and keep it safe? 

KnD3D stores all client data using a selection of AWS (Amazon Web Services) products. Our software is developed in house and is regularly updated to ensure data security measures exceed present standards. For internal communications, such as email, we have strict controls in place when handling client data and staff undergo regular data protection training. All transactions made via our online checkout system are processed securely by Stripe, a PCI-DSS compliant secure payment gateway service. No bank or payment details are retained after the transaction is complete, which is a key requirement for PCI compliance.
