HOW WE OBTAIN YOUR PERSONAL DATA

Data you give us or our Agents voluntarily by submitting tenancy enquiry or application forms, signing up to a lease, interacting with us or the Managing Agent in person, email or telephone or through applications relating to the property.

Data we receive from third parties. We engage with third parties (including identity verification providers) in relation to the Services and may receive data about you from them.

WHY WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We use personal data we hold about you in different ways, as described below:

• If you are a prospective tenant, but at the time of your enquiry we do not have a property available that meets your needs, we may contact you if such a property becomes available within 12 months of your enquiry. These communications to you are on the basis of our legitimate interest to market potentially suitable properties to you. You can opt out of receiving such communications from us at any time.
• To administer and manage our relationship with you, including the performance of a contract with you (such as your lease or tenancy agreement).
• To communicate with utility companies, suppliers and other contractors to arrange access to the property for repairs and/or maintenance and in order to facilitate background checks or payments due, for example with credit or reference providers or debt collection companies. We do this on our legitimate interest to maintain the property and seek outstanding rental payments and other charges and in the legitimate interest of third parties who supply services to you (e.g. utility companies).
• To provide information, that you request, or which we think may be of interest to you in order to support and enhance our relationship. We will use this data in accordance with any preferences you have selected, either on the basis of consent (where appropriate) or of legitimate interests where you have not objected to receiving such information.
• To fulfil our legal and regulatory obligations, including establishing, exercising or defending legal claims or providing information as required by a court order.
• To protect the safety and security of our Services, staff, systems, property or any person, including to investigate, prevent and minimise the effects of fraud and otherwise to protect our vital interests or the vital interests of the tenant or of others.
• For our legitimate business interests such as to provide you with Services as part of your tenancy such as ongoing works at the property, building access or window cleaning; provide you with access to resources which provide services such as deliveries, bookings, enquiries, social clubs or forums, events, announcements, concierge services and various amenities in relation to your tenancy; communicate with you about any changes to our properties or Services, or new Service offerings; to enhance and improve our overall Service offering

LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA

In order to collect, process and share personal data for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice, we rely on a number of separate and overlapping legal bases, including where:

• necessary to perform a contract we have with you, for example under your tenancy agreement or lease;
• consistent with obtained consent, for example, where you have opted-in to receive our marketing information, we may use your information to send you news and newsletters, special offers, and promotions, or information we think may interest you;
• necessary for the legitimate interests of us or of a third party, provided those interests are not overridden by your interests or rights;
• necessary to comply with our legal obligations;
• necessary to protect the vital interests of tenants or of others.

We may process personal data on more than one lawful ground depending on the specific purpose for which we are using that data. We only use personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we believe that we need to use that personal data for another reason that is compatible with the original purpose or as applicable law permits.

HOW WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We may disclose your personal data to:

• our Agents that you interact with regarding our Services;
• our subsidiaries, related companies and affiliates;
• our third party services providers, suppliers and partners that assist in providing our Services, and other services to you;
• credit or reference providers or debt collection companies;
• our professional advisors, including lawyers, auditors and insurers;
• possible acquirers or investors (and our and their advisors) in the context of facilitating or implementing a business reconfiguration or reorganisation or a transfer or sale of all or part of our assets or business, including, but not limited to a divestiture, acquisition or business reconfiguration. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them;
• any other person or entity with your consent.

We will only provide these third parties with the personal data that is necessary. Where these third parties are processors, they are contractually required to only use the personal data in accordance with our instructions to provide their service to us.

TRANSFER OF YOUR INFORMATION

As we operate internationally, your personal data may also be disclosed and transferred to a person or company that is part of or outside of the IRPF Glencairn Limited Partnership group and located in a country outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) for any of the purposes set out in this notice. Some of these countries may not have the same levels of data protection or similar rules in relation to processing your personal data as are present. We will typically transfer and disclose your data in compliance with the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission. If you would like to get more information about the measures we put in place to protect your information when it is transferred outside of the EEA (including a copy of the Standard Contractual Clauses), please contact us using the details in section 0 below.

PROTECTING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We maintain appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect a tenant’s personal data, such as up-to-date antivirus protection, internal IT security measures, and disclosing personal data both internally and to our trusted third party service providers only on a ‘need-to-know’ basis.

HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We will keep your personal data for as long we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with your tenancy or a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal data, we will either delete or anonymise it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal data has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
