At Kenlighten, we are committed to safeguarding your privacy. This privacy policy provides information on the processing of personal data by Kenlighten. We want you to feel secure when we are collecting and sharing your data and therefore, we want you to know how we collect, use, share, and keep the information about you and the choices that are available to you as a data subject. As such, this privacy policy is concerned with how we handle the personal data of users of Kenlighten (the Privacy Policy). The Privacy Policy applies to the Kenlighten website, as well as your use of or access to any of our online services.

Your use of our website and services (the Services) and any dispute arising over privacy is subject to this Privacy Policy and any of our applicable terms and conditions for the use of our services.

We reserve the right to, at all times, and with or without any particular notification, make changes to this Privacy Policy. We might need to do so in the case of new developments, activities, online services, or when the applicable laws are amended. We therefore advise you to regularly check this Privacy Policy to make sure you are up to date on any possible adjustments.

1. When does this Privacy Policy apply?

This Privacy Policy is applicable to the processing of personal data of all users of the Kenlighten website and platform, and possibly other individuals. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the processing of data of employees in the context of their employment or assignment relationship at Kenlighten.

When processing personal data of data subjects who are in the EU in connection with our Services, Kenlighten acts as a data controller and as a data processor. When Kenlighten determines the purpose and the manner of processing your personal data, Kenlighten is deemed to be a data controller. We apply a similar approach to protecting your personal data whether we are acting as a data controller or a data processor.

Kenlighten is committed to adequately protecting your personal data in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations, regardless of your location and where we process it. Similarly, we are committed to providing the appropriate protection framework when transferring your data outside of the EEA.

4. Who has access to your personal data?

Kenlighten is committed to securing your personal data and has taken the necessary steps in this regard. Only our employees are authorised to access personal data, yet, only to the extent necessary to properly perform their individual jobs.

With every third party who, on our behalf, processes personal data, we have entered into the required data processing agreements. Kenlighten only shares personal data with third parties if it is necessary to serve its applicable purpose as set out above. In all cases, we will ensure that third parties with access to your personal data have implemented appropriate technical and organizational safeguards to maintain our envisioned level of privacy and security. We furthermore insist that all data protection and privacy laws are adhered to at all times.

If your personal data is transferred to a recipient in a country outside the EEA or where an adequate level of protection of personal data is not provided for, Kenlighten will take measures to ensure that your personal data is adequately protected in those countries as well, such as entering into the EU Standard Contractual Clauses with these third parties.

When a third party processes your personal data, they can only do so following Kenlighten’s instructions. They therefore act as our data processor. We enter into the necessary agreement with the data processor where we include obligations to ensure your personal data is processed solely in order for the data processor to fulfil its duty to provide services to us.

Third parties that process data in order for us to bring about our purposes as set out above are:
  • - Banks/payment processors
  • - IT suppliers
  • - Identity verification suppliers
  • - Content providers on the platform
  • - Companies whose job vacancies you responded to
  • - Companies whose event you responded to

In any other case, your personal data will not be supplied to third parties, except where mandated by law. Kenlighten will not sell any of your data to third parties.

5. Security

Your personal data will be stored securely at all times. We value the protection of your privacy. We treat personal data very carefully, and, possibly together with third parties, we ensure that appropriate organisational and technical protection measures are implemented to safely store personal data. In this manner, we ensure that the personal data is only accessible to those particular individuals who are authorized based on their job function, and therefore is only used for its intended purpose. Additionally, we have implemented measures to guarantee your safe visit to and use of our websites. In doing so, we prevent any abuse of your data. These measures include computer safeguards and secured files and facilities.

Our websites have a certified Secure Socket Layers (SSL) certificate. This is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browsers remain private and integral. Your financial transactions are managed by payment services providers that use secure technology systems.

The platform itself also provides several tools for you to handle your own privacy. For example, you can hide your personal details from certain users on the platform. You may choose to only share your personal details with your direct connections.

Kenlighten has taken the necessary technical and organizational measures to prevent, signal, rapport, and handle any breach in its data protection. In the event that a data breach does occur, however, Kenlighten will, without undue delay, and where feasible, not later than 72 hours after having become aware of it, notify the personal data breach to the relevant Data Protection Authority.

6. Accessing, correcting or removing personal data

You have the right to access, correct, or remove your personal data that we have stored. You also have the right to withdraw your previously given consent to the processing of your personal data, or to object to the processing of your personal data by Kenlighten. Finally, you have the right to have a file sent to you, containing details of which of your personal data we have stored. You can send us a request to receive such a file in writing. Any request is subject to the applicable law, which means that we might need to keep the personal data stored.

We also want to inform and remind you of the ability to issue a formal complaint at the national Data Protection Authority.

If you object to Kenlighten using your personal data, want your personal data to be forgotten, want to withdraw your previously given consent to process your personal data, or you have a different enquiry concerning your personal data, you can at any time send a request to:
