5. Our Lawful Bases for Processing

Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful basis for processing personal information.

Depending on the circumstances, we may rely upon:

For example, processing your contact and property details so that we can arrange and complete an inventory inspection.

We may process information where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests and those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.

This may include managing customer relationships, responding to business enquiries, maintaining appropriate records, protecting our business and improving our services.

Legal Obligation

We may process information where necessary to comply with an obligation imposed on us by law, such as tax, accounting or regulatory requirements.

Consent

Where we rely upon your consent for a particular purpose, you may withdraw that consent at any time.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing that took place before consent was withdrawn.

6. Property Reports and Photographs

As part of our professional property reporting services, we may take photographs and record observations about the visible condition of a property.

Photographs are intended to document the property and its condition.

However, personal belongings or other information relating to an occupant may sometimes be incidentally visible within photographs or property records.

We take reasonable steps to ensure that information collected is relevant to the property reporting service being provided and avoid deliberately collecting unnecessary personal information.

Reports and associated photographs may be provided to the client who instructed the service and other relevant parties where appropriate to the management of the property or tenancy.

Where third-party service providers process personal information on our behalf, we take reasonable steps to use providers that handle information appropriately and securely.

8. International Data Transfers

Some technology, software or cloud-service providers used in operating our business may process or store information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place where required by UK data protection law.

These may include transfers to countries recognised as providing an adequate level of protection or the use of approved contractual safeguards.

9. How Long We Keep Personal Information

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including satisfying legal, accounting, contractual and reporting requirements.

Different types of information may therefore be retained for different periods.

When information is no longer reasonably required, we will securely delete, anonymise or otherwise dispose of it where appropriate.

10. How We Protect Your Information

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against:

  • unauthorised access

  • loss

  • misuse

  • alteration

  • accidental destruction.

Access to personal information is restricted where appropriate to people and service providers who require it for legitimate business purposes.
