    1. Where you are interested in one of our properties, we will receive your name, email address and telephone number. This is either provided to us directly by you when you visit our Website (to register your interest or request a callback) or where we receive it from estate agents (with whom we advertise) when you register or make an enquiry with them, or where you respond to any of our online marketing campaigns outside of our Website.
    2.

  4. HOW WE USE YOUR DATA

    1. We process your personal data when you are interested in buying or renting one of our properties, or you supply related services to us, or you are a member of our staff.

    3. Where you register your interest in any of our properties with us directly, by any means, we will (in most circumstances) automatically refer your details to our appointed estate agents.

We do not require your consent to market to you in these limited circumstances.
    2. Any personal data you provide to estate agents appointed on our behalf in connection with the purchase or letting of any of our properties will be retained by those agents in accordance with their privacy and internal data retention/destruction policies.
    3. Where we enter into any contract with you (such as for the supply of goods and services, or purchase or rental of a property, or any employment contract) we will retain all details we need in connection with that contract for its term and for up to 6 years following its termination (after which time, we will securely delete that information).
    4. Where we retain your contact details for marketing purposes, these will only be retained for so long as you have permitted us to contact you for these purposes.

We will, also, not prompt you to opt back in at any time.

      2. b) to clarify what data we hold about you, how it was obtained, to whom it has been disclosed and for how long it will be stored;
      3. c) to amend any inaccurate data we hold about you;
