Introduction
HSA Group ("HSA", "we", "us", or "our") is a diversified group of companies operating across food, manufacturing, trading, packaging, and services. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, share, and safeguard personal information when you visit our website, contact us, apply for a role, or otherwise engage with the companies that make up HSA Group.
Please read this policy carefully. By using our website or providing us with your information, you acknowledge the practices described here.
Who this policy covers
This policy applies to personal information we process about visitors to our website, job applicants, business partners and suppliers, customers, and members of the public who contact us.
Individual HSA operating companies and brands may publish their own privacy notices for specific products or services. Where those apply, they supplement — and do not replace — this policy.
Information we collect
We collect personal information in three main ways:
- Information you give us — such as your name, email address, phone number, employer, and the contents of any message, when you complete a form, subscribe to updates, or apply for a job.
- Information collected automatically — such as your IP address, browser type, device details, the pages you view, and how you reached our site, gathered through cookies and similar technologies.
- Information from third parties — such as recruitment agencies, business partners, or publicly available sources, where it is relevant to our dealings with you.
How we use your information
We use personal information to:
- Respond to your enquiries and provide the information or services you request;
- Review and process job applications and manage recruitment;
- Manage relationships with partners, suppliers, and customers;
- Send you news, updates, or communications where you have asked to receive them;
- Operate, maintain, and improve our website and understand how it is used;
- Comply with legal, regulatory, and internal governance obligations; and
- Protect our rights and property and the safety of our people and operations.
Legal basis for processing
Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we rely on one or more of the following: your consent; the performance of a contract with you; compliance with a legal obligation; or our legitimate interests in running and growing our business responsibly. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.
International data transfers
HSA Group operates across multiple countries. Your information may be processed in, or transferred to, locations outside your country of residence. Where this happens, we take steps to ensure it remains protected in line with this policy and applicable law.
Data retention
We keep personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including to meet legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it.
How we protect your information
We maintain technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against loss, misuse, and unauthorised access, disclosure, or alteration. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to safeguard your information and to limit access to those who need it.
Your rights and choices
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, to request its correction or deletion, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
Children's privacy
Our website and services are not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
Third-party links
Our website may link to third-party websites, including those of HSA brands and partners. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those sites, and we encourage you to review the privacy notice of any website you visit.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. The latest version will always appear on this page, with the effective date shown above.
