OUR COMMITMENT TO PRIVACY
Your privacy is important to Accel-KKR and our affiliates (together, ‘our’, ‘us’, ‘we’ or ‘company’). We want you to fully understand what personal information we collect from you and what we do with it. “Personal information” means any information that relates to you from which you can be identified. We believe that you should have full control over your personal information. We do not disclose your personal information to anyone without your prior written consent (subject to the very narrow extent specified below). Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By accessing our site, you agree to this Privacy Policy.
For the purposes of applicable EU laws, Accel-KKR will be a data controller of any personal information collected by us. If you have any questions regarding our use of your personal information, or this Privacy Policy, please submit a request on our Contact Page.
We rely on various legal bases under applicable data protection legislation in order to process your personal information (e.g., name, title, address, telephone number, email, IP address), including our legitimate interests, contractual necessity, and as required by law.

We do not collect any special categories of personal information about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data). Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.
Further information about the legal bases under which we process your personal information is included in the section headed “Why we use your personal information”.
You do not need to take any action as a result of this Privacy Policy, but you do have certain rights as described below in the section headed ”Your Privacy Rights and Choices”.
