6. Sharing of data
We will not sell or rent your data to third parties.
7. Retention period of data
We keep data which forms part of our business record for a minimum of six years. That is because we may need it in some way to support a claim or defence in court. That is also the period within which our tax collecting authorities may demand to know it. Financial records may be kept longer where legally required.
8. Website usage information
We may use software embedded in our website (such as JavaScript/HotJar) to collect data about which pages you view and how you reach them, what you do when you visit a page, the length of time you remain on the page, and how we perform in providing content to you. This is to create a better browsing experiencing for any of our website visitors.
9. Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer’s hard drive through your web browser when you visit any website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide data to the owners of the site. Like all other users of cookies, we may request the return of data from your computer when your browser requests a web page from our server. Cookies enable our web server to identify you to us, and to track your actions and the pages you visit while you use our website. The cookies we use may last for a single visit to our site (they are deleted from your computer when you close your browser) or may remain on your computer until you delete them or until a defined period of time has passed.
Although your browser software enables you to disable cookies, we recommend that you allow the use of cookies in order to take advantage of the features of our website that rely on their use. If you prevent their use, you will not be able to use all the functionality of our website. Here are the ways we may use cookies:
10. Financial data relating only to your credit cards
This data is never collected by us either through our website or otherwise. At the point of payment, you are transferred to a secure page on the website of WorldPay / SagePay / PayPal / MoneyBookers or some other reputable payment service provider as notified by us from time to time. That page may be dressed in our “livery”, but it is not controlled by us. Our staff and contractors never have access to it.
11. Note on padlock symbols and other trust marks
Many companies offer certification and an icon or other small graphic to prove to site visitors that the site is safe. Some certify to a high level of safety. We do not handle data about your credit card so do not subscribe to any such service. However, we suggest you assess this notice to judge that we do take your privacy seriously.
12. Financial data about your direct debit or your credit cards
When you have agreed to set up a direct debit arrangement, the data you have given to us is passed to our own bank for processing according to our instructions. We do keep a copy.
We are registered under the direct debit guarantee scheme. This provides for the customer’s bank to refund disputed payments without question, pending further investigation. Direct debits can only be set up for payments to beneficiaries that are approved “originators” of direct debits. In order to be approved, these beneficiaries are subjected to careful vetting procedures. Once approved, they are required to give indemnity guarantees through their banks.
13. Credit reference
To assist in combatting fraud, we share data with credit reference agencies so far as it relates to clients or customers who instruct their credit card issuer to cancel payment to us without having first provided an acceptable reason to us and given us the opportunity to refund their money.
14. Business and personal data
This includes all data given to us in the course of your business and ours, such as data you give us in your capacity as our client. We undertake to preserve the confidentiality of this data and of the terms of our relationship. It is not used for any other purpose. We expect you to reciprocate this notice.
15. Calling our office
When you call our office, we may collect Calling Line Identification (CLI) data. We use this data to help improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our help line.
16. Sending a message to our support system
When you send a message, we collect the data you have given to us in that message in order to obtain confirmation that you are entitled to receive the information and to provide to you the information you need. We record your request and our reply in order to increase the efficiency of our business / organisation. We may keep personally identifiable data associated with your message, such as your name or email address.
17. Complaining
When we receive a complaint, we record all the data you have given to us. We use that data to resolve your complaint. If your complaint reasonably requires us to contact some other person, we may decide to give to that other person some of the data contained in your complaint. We do this as infrequently as possible, but it is a matter for our sole discretion as to whether we do give data, and, if we do, what that data is.
We may also compile statistics showing data obtained from this source to assess the level of service we provide, but not in a way that could identify you or any other person.
For further information on how you can submit a complaint, please refer to our complaints procedure by following this link: https://www.premierredproperty.com/complaints/
If you feel that Premier Red Property are not adhering to the law surrounding data protection and your rights as a data subject, you have the right to take this up with the Information Commissioners Officer. We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO so please contact us in the first instance.
18. Job application and employment
If you send us information in connection with a job application, we may keep it for up to three years in case we decide to contact you at a later date. If we employ you, we collect data about you and your work from time to time throughout the period of your employment. This data will be used only for purposes directly relevant to your employment. After your employment has ended, we will keep your file for six years before destroying or deleting it.
19. Marketing information
With your prior consent, expressed by selecting an opt-in tick-box on a form submitted to us and thereafter managed by you via our online Marketing Preference tool, we will send you relevant information relating to our associates whom we consider may provide services or products which you would find useful. You may opt out from receiving this information at any time via our online marketing preference tool or by contacting our Data Protection Team by emailing [email protected].
20. Disclosure to Government and their agencies
We are subject to the law like everyone else. We may be required to give data to legal authorities if they so request or if they have the proper authorisation such as a search warrant or court order.
21. Sale of your personal data
Except as specified above, we do not rent, sell or otherwise disclose any of your data to any person outside our business.
22. Data may be “processed” outside the UK
Our websites are hosted in the EEA. We also use outsourced services to data processors in countries outside the EEA from time to time in other aspects of our business. Accordingly, data obtained within the UK may be “processed” outside the UK and data obtained in any other country may be processed within or outside that country. With this, we have put in place safeguards to ensure an adequate level of data protection.
23. Compliance with the law
This privacy notice has been compiled so as to comply with the law of every jurisdiction in which we aim to do business. If you think it fails to satisfy the law of your country, we should like to hear from you, but ultimately it is your choice as to whether you wish to use our website and/or services knowing how we process your data as per this privacy notice.
