Third Party Websites
KCS Automotive Ltd and its users may link to third party websites on the website. These third-party websites are not screened for privacy or security issues by KCS Automotive Ltd, and you release us from any liability for the conduct of these third-party websites.
Please be aware that this Privacy Policy, and any other policies in place, in addition to any amendments, does not create rights enforceable by third parties or require disclosure of any personal information relating to participants.

Third Party Access to Your Information
Although you are entering into an agreement with KCS Automotive Ltd to disclose your information to us, please be advised that we do use third party individuals and organisations to assist us with this website, including but not limited to contractors, web hosts and maintenance providers.
It is therefore necessary that you grant the third parties we may use in the course of our business the same rights that you afford us under this Privacy Policy. For this reason, you hereby agree that for every authorisation which you grant to us in this Privacy Policy, you also grant to any third party that we may hire, contract, or otherwise retain the services for the purpose of operating, maintaining, repairing, or otherwise improving or preserving our website or its underlying files or systems. You agree not to hold us liable for the actions of any of these third parties, even if we would normally be held vicariously liable for their actions, and that you must take legal action against them directly should they commit any tort or other actionable wrong against you.
Release of Your Information for Legal Purposes and Subject Access Requests
It may become necessary for KCS Automotive Ltd to release your information in response to a request from a UK, EU or other international government agency or a private litigant. You agree that we may disclose your information to a third party where we believe, in good faith, that it is necessary to do so for the purposes of a civil action, criminal investigation, or other legal matter. In the event that we receive a subpoena affecting your privacy, we may elect to notify you to give you an opportunity to file a motion to quash the subpoena, or we may attempt to quash it ourselves, but we are not obligated to do either. You release us from any damages that may arise from or relate to the release of your information to a request from UK law enforcement agencies or private litigants.
Under the EU GDPR (2018) legislation, you are now entitled to make a Subject Access Request for KCS Automotive Ltd to release a copy of all the personal information that we hold about you for no charge. You must submit proof of ID before we can comply with your request, and after identification is provided and verified, we will comply with your request within one month. We do not process individual data or sensitive data. Further, we do not keep records of data processing because we do not process data, and as a small business with less than 250 employees, we are not required to keep records of data processing.
Your Right to Erasure
You have the right to request that your data is erased by KCS Automotive Ltd at any time and without undue delay. Please email info@kcs-automotive.com and state ‘Request to erase data’ in your title or write to the Ritchie Kelk of KCS Automotive Ltd at our postal address. In either case, state all of your details and we will contact you to confirm that all of your data has been deleted. However individuals cannot use the Right to Erasure to avoid any financial liabilities should they be incurred.
