We know that you care about your personal data and how it is used, and it’s important to us that you trust that Pomegranite uses your personal data carefully. Our privacy policy will help you understand what personal data we collect, why we collect it and what we do with it.

What is personal information?

Personal information is information which identifies you as an individual, including but not limited to, your name and contact details. Pomegranite does not collect personal information about you, except when you provide it to us.

How do we collect information about you?

We may collect personal data from a variety of sources. This includes:

While we do our best to make sure that the personal information we hold about you is accurate, and will assume that in the absence of evidence to the contrary, the information you provide us with is accurate. We will provide you with access to your personal information so that you may view, update, or correct your information (please see below under heading “Access rights”).
