Your privacy is important to us

We, Kennedy Associates, wish to respect your privacy and protect your personal data that may be collected as a result of interacting with you through Kennedy Associates websites, applications, and digital assets (collectively, our “Sites”) and through our externally facing business activities, such as service offerings, events, surveys, and communications.

Depending on your relationship with Kennedy Associates, different parts of our privacy policy may apply to you. For example, you may be a client, an employee, a preferred contractor, a contracted Associate or Executive Advisor, or you may interact with our social media.

If you are a preferred contractor, you must also comply with our contract, including non-disclosure agreements.

If you are an employee of a Kennedy Associates client, we may receive your personal data from your employer. Our use of that data is governed by our agreement with your employer.

How do we collect your personal data?

We may collect personal data directly from you and from third parties in the course of routine business activities, such as:

• When you interact with our Sites or manage your cookie preferences;

• When you create or log into a user profile;

• When you subscribe to our newsletters or alerts;

• When you register for or participate in our conferences or events;

• When you participate in surveys or discussions;

• When you contact us for information or responses.

We may also receive publicly available data from third parties such as business websites, public social media, and reputable data vendors. Our intent is that such data is lawfully collected and shared.

Sensitive data may be collected with your consent, especially for event accommodations or research.

We use this only for legitimate purposes and use deidentified versions for any analysis.

Customers, partners and suppliers to Kennedy Associates may request a copy of our privacy policy that contains more information on how we collect, use and hold any data. If you are not a customer, partner or supplier we will determine at our discretion whether you have a legitimate reason for making contact with us (to prevent spam and phishing).
