In order to fulfill this mission, Kimpex is counting on a competent, professional and motivated family of employees working in a respectful and dynamic environment.

Scope and application of privacy policy

This policy is designed to meet the requirements of applicable legislation protecting the privacy of individuals.

In particular, this policy highlights the provisions introduced to manage the collection, possession, use, communication and destruction of personal information in the private sector. The rules introduced were designed to establish a balance between rights pertaining to the protection of a person’s privacy, as concerns their personal information, their credit information and the need for Kimpex to gather, use or communicate them in the context of its business activities.

For the application of this policy, we refer to ‘‘personal information’’ as information concerning any natural or legal person which allows us to identify them.

Protection

To ensure that this policy is respected, Kimpex has made every necessary effort to request responsible and professional behaviour with regard to the protection of this personal information, at all times, from its employees, representatives or authorized agents they hire.

At Kimpex, the protection and privacy of personal information it has acquired is controlled at each of the following 5 steps of confidential information management:

Kimpex ensures that the personal information it has obtained is up to date and exact at the time it is used.
