Privacy Policy

1. Important information and who we are

The purpose of this Policy

We are Indlu Limited, and we own the Website. In this privacy and cookies policy (“Policy”), Indlu Limited is referred to as “we”, “us” or “our”, as appropriate.

We are committed to ensuring your privacy is protected. This Policy explains when and why we collect personal information about Website visitors, clients and people who contact or interact with us, how we use that personal information, the conditions under which we may disclose it to others and how we keep it secure. The Website is not intended for children and we do not knowingly collect data relating to children.

It is important that you read this Policy together with any other privacy notice or fair processing notice we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing personal data about you so that you are fully aware of how and why we are using your data. This Policy supplements the other notices and is not intended to override them.

Controller

We are the controller and responsible for your personal data. We have appointed a data privacy manager who is responsible for overseeing questions in relation to this Policy. If you have any questions about this Policy, including any requests to exercise your legal rights (as set out in paragraph 8 below), please contact our data privacy manager using the details set out below:

Full name of legal entity: Indlu Limited

Name or title of data privacy manager: Mark Burns (Director)

Email address: data@pureinvestor.co.uk

Postal address: Office 16, Building 12, Tameside House, Tameside Business Park, Windmill Lane, Denton, Manchester, M34 3QS.

Complaints

You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO, so please contact us in the first instance.

Changes to this Policy and your duty to inform us of changes

This Policy was last updated on 22nd May 2018. Any change to this Policy will be on this page and a notice that the Policy has been updated will be clearly shown on the Website and, where we have your email address and a legal basis to contact you using that email address, emailed to you. Continued use of the Website after such modifications will constitute agreement to the updated terms of the modified Policy.

It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us.

Third-party links

The Website may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements. When you leave the Website, we encourage you to read the privacy notice of every website you visit.

2. The data we collected about you

Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).

We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped together follows:

  • Identity Data includes first name and last name.
  • Contact Data includes email address and telephone numbers.
  • Technical Data includes Internet protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform and other technology on the devices you use to access the Website.
  • Profile Data includes enquiries made by you in respect of properties listed on the Website or that we have sent to you, information provided by you for listing on the Website, your interests and your preferences. 
  • Usage Data includes information about how you use the Website.
  • Marketing and Communications Data includes your preferences in receiving marketing from us and our third parties and your communication preferences.

We also collect, use and share Aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data may be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific Website feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this Policy.

We do not collect any Special Categories of Personal Data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data). Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.

If you fail to provide personal data

Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you, or in order to provide you with information or services that you have requested from us, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you, or provide you with information requested (for example, to provide you information about a particular property listed on the Website). In this case, we may have to cancel our contract with you or not provide information to you, but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.

3. How do we collect personal information from you?

You may provide this to us through our Website forms, emails, phone conversations, documents that you provide to us or when you meet us in person, or when you contact us for any other reason by any media, for example when you:

  • Enquire about properties for sale or register with us as a buyer or a seller
  • Contact or interact with us through the Website
  • Provide feedback to us
  • Request marketing and/or other communications to be sent to you

This includes Identity, Contact, Profile, Usage and Marketing and Communications Data.

Automated technologies or interactions

We also obtain personal information relating to you (including about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns) using automated technical means when you visit the Website.  We collect this personal data by using cookies, server logs and other similar technologies. The Website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of the Website. This helps us to optimise your experience of the Website and services and also allows to improve the Website. For detailed information on which purposes we use cookies, please paragraph 5 below.

Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of a product/service, product/service experience or other transactions.

Change of purpose

We will only use your personal data 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 you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us.

If we need to use your personal data 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 data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

This means that use cookies (which may be stored on your computer after you leave the Website) can store information about your visit.

6. Where we store your information

Your information may be transferred, stored and processed securely on servers based within the EU and subject to the EU standards and regulations on data protection. By using the Website, or otherwise submitting your personal information to us, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with data protection laws. We also take all reasonable steps to ensure that any personal information stored by us on site in non-electronic formats is done so securely.

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

7. Disclosures of your personal data

In order to provide an efficient service to our clients and other users of our services, with your consent we may pass your information to third party service providers, including but not limited to:

  • HM Revenue & Customs, regulators and other authorities [acting as processors or joint controllers] based [in the United Kingdom] [who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances.

When we use third party service providers, we disclose only the personal information that is necessary to deliver the service you have requested and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and otherwise use your information in accordance with applicable data protection law.

We may in a few other limited cases need to disclose your information to third parties:

  • In the event that you buy or sell a property, in which case we may disclose some personal information to the prospective seller or buyer of the property and respective advisors.
  • Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy notice.
  • If we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our terms of use and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property or safety of our business, our clients, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

We do not transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

8. Your rights

Under data protection laws, you have the right:

  • Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
  • Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
  • Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
  • Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
  • Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data's accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
  • Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
  • Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us.

No fee usually required

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

What we may need from you

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

Time limit to respond

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

9. How long do we retain your personal information?

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

Details of retention periods for different aspects of your personal data are available in our retention policy which you can request from us by contacting us.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see paragraph 8 above for further information.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

10. Security precautions in place to protect your information

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

The transmission of unencrypted (or inadequately encrypted) data over the Internet is inherently insecure, and for this reason we cannot guarantee the security of data sent between us over the Internet.
