- If the information we collect personally identifies you, or you are reasonably identifiable from it, the information will be considered personal information.
- What personal information do we collect and how is it collected?
- We will collect your personal information in a fair and lawful manner. Where it is practical to do so, we will collect your personal information directly from you, and only to the extent that we reasonably require the personal information for one or more of our business functions or activities, to provide you with a KGH product or service or employee (where appropriate).

- personal information you give us via our mobile food trailer or when you place an order by telephone or via an online ordering system (e.g. @Table Ordering or orders through the Website or the App) (“Online Ordering System”), when purchasing a gift card or when you logon to wi-fi provided at one of our mobile food trailer. This information may include your full name, postal and physical addresses, email address, telephone numbers, age, date of birth, menu preferences, previous order information, loyalty membership details, credit card details, financial information, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address and your demographic and other data for market research, advertising and promotional purposes;
