Who operates this website
This Privacy Policy describes how the organization operating the KeyGrid website, Akaar Holdings Limited (“KeyGrid,” “we,” “us”), collects, uses, discloses, retains and protects personal information in connection with this public website and enquiries submitted through it. This policy concerns the public website only and does not replace any privacy, confidentiality or data-processing terms applicable to a later business relationship or transaction.
Information we collect
If you contact us, we collect the information you choose to supply, which may include your name, email address, organization, whether you are contacting us as a business owner or private investment partner, and the contents of your message. Our hosting and technology providers may also process standard technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages requested, dates and times of requests, and diagnostic or security logs. We do not ask for identity documents, banking details, medical information or investor financial statements through this public contact form.
Why we use information
We use contact information to respond to your enquiry; assess whether an introductory discussion is appropriate; arrange meetings or communications you request; maintain an appropriate record of business correspondence; operate, secure and improve the website; investigate misuse; and meet applicable legal obligations. We do not treat submission of an enquiry as consent to an unrelated marketing mailing list.
Consent and optional communications
We collect and use information with consent or another lawful basis where permitted or required under applicable law. By voluntarily sending a website enquiry, you ask us to use the details supplied to respond to that enquiry. If we later offer a newsletter or send promotional commercial electronic messages, we will establish an appropriate consent and unsubscribe process rather than relying on this enquiry form as blanket marketing consent.
Website technology and cookies
In the current static website files, there is no intentionally implemented advertising pixel, behavioural analytics package, newsletter tracker or persistent client-side marketing storage. The website loads web fonts from Google Fonts and may be hosted or process submissions through Netlify, Vercel, Formspree or another configured service; those providers may receive technical connection information. The actual hosting configuration and any cookies or tracking deployed must be verified before publication. If non-essential analytics or advertising technologies are added later, we will update this notice and implement any required choices or consents.
Who receives information
Information may be made available to people authorized to handle KeyGrid enquiries and to service providers supporting website hosting, email, form processing, information technology, security and professional advice, to the extent reasonably necessary for those purposes. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect legal rights, or as part of a legitimate proposed business reorganization subject to applicable privacy obligations. We do not sell website enquiry information to data brokers.
Processing outside Canada
Some technology providers may store or process data outside Canada, including in jurisdictions with different privacy laws. When information is processed elsewhere, it may be accessible to foreign authorities under applicable law. [CONFIRM ACTUAL HOSTING AND FORM-PROCESSING PROVIDERS AND DATA LOCATIONS BEFORE PUBLICATION.]
Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described here, including record-keeping, lawful business operations and legal obligations, and then securely delete or anonymize it when appropriate. [INSERT AN ACTUAL, INTERNALLY IMPLEMENTED ENQUIRY RETENTION SCHEDULE AND BACKUP-DELETION PRACTICE; DO NOT PUBLISH AN UNVERIFIED PERIOD.]
Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical and organizational measures appropriate to the information we handle, including limiting access to those with a business need. No transmission or storage system is completely secure. Do not submit highly sensitive information through the public enquiry form. If a transaction proceeds, secure information-sharing arrangements can be established separately.
Your choices and privacy rights
Subject to applicable law, you may ask what personal information we hold about you, request access or correction, withdraw consent to uses that depend on consent, or raise a concern about our handling of your information. Some records may need to be retained for legal or legitimate business purposes even after a request. We may need to verify identity before responding to a privacy request.
Privacy contact
For privacy enquiries, access or correction requests, or complaints, contact [INSERT WORKING PRIVACY EMAIL]. Please identify “Privacy Request” in the subject line. [INSERT COMPANY MAILING ADDRESS OR OTHER REQUIRED CONTACT DETAILS.] Where applicable, you may also raise concerns with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or the relevant provincial privacy regulator.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our technology, activities or legal obligations change. The revised version will be posted here with a new effective date. If a change materially affects how information is used and consent is required, we will obtain that consent as appropriate.
