Personal Information to verify your identity…
We may use your information where it is necessary for us to do so in order to meet our legal obligations or to detect and prevent fraud, money-laundering and other crimes.

  • Enable us to comply with legal obligations.
  • Pursue legitimate interests of our own or those of third parties (provided your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests).

Change of purpose…
We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose.

If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal information without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

 

How long do we keep your personal information…
We will only store your personal information for as long as we need it for the purposes for which it was collected.

Where we provide you with any service we will retain any information you provide to us at least for as long as we continue to provide that service to you.

In the case of a lettings tenancy, we are required to store personal information for seven years after the end date of the tenancy. This information will be securely stored and only used for reference/information purposes if required for investigation or proceedings.

If you apply for a role with us if your application is unsuccessful, we will retain your personal information for a period of 6 months after we have informed you of our decision, so if required, we can show that we have not discriminated against candidates on prohibited grounds. We will retain your personal data on our file for a further period of 12 months after we have informed you of our decision, so we can consider you for future vacancies or opportunities and contact you accordingly by email, phone or text.
