By using this website, you acknowledge the practices described below. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, we recommend that you discontinue use of the site.
Kalven collects information in two primary ways: information you provide directly, and information gathered automatically through standard web technologies.
Directly provided information may include your name, email address, and any message content submitted through the contact form on this website. We collect only what is necessary to respond to your enquiry and do not request sensitive personal data through any standard form field.
Automatically collected information includes standard server log data such as IP address, browser type, referring URL, pages viewed, and timestamps. This information is collected in aggregate and is not used to identify individual visitors unless required to investigate a security concern.
We also use cookies and similar tracking technologies. For a full description of how cookies are used on this site, please refer to our Cookie Policy.
Information collected by Kalven is used for the following purposes:
Kalven does not sell, rent, or transfer personal data to third parties for commercial purposes. Aggregated, non-identifiable analytics data may be shared with editorial partners for the purpose of improving content quality.
Contact form submissions are retained for a period of 24 months following the date of receipt, after which they are securely deleted. Server log data is retained for up to 12 months for security and analytical purposes.
Kalven employs standard technical measures to protect stored data from unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure. These measures include encrypted data transmission (HTTPS), restricted access protocols, and regular review of data handling procedures.
No data transmission over the internet can be fully secured. While Kalven applies reasonable security practices, absolute security of any data exchange cannot be assured.
You have the right to request access to personal information Kalven holds about you, to request corrections to inaccurate data, and to request deletion of your data where it is no longer required for the stated purpose of collection.
