5. OUR LAWFUL BASES

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

Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on:

Contract or steps before entering into a contract
Where information is needed to provide a service, prepare a quotation, arrange an assessment or take steps requested by you before entering into an agreement.

Legitimate interests
Where it is reasonably necessary to operate, manage and improve our business, communicate with prospective or existing clients, protect our interests or provide effective customer service, provided those interests do not override your rights.

Legal obligation
Where we need to retain or use information to comply with legal, tax, accounting or regulatory requirements.

Consent
Where you have specifically agreed to a particular use of your information, such as certain forms of direct marketing. You may withdraw consent at any time.

6. WHO WE MAY SHARE INFORMATION WITH

We do not sell your personal information.

Where necessary, we may share information with trusted service providers and organisations that help us operate our business or provide an agreed service.

These may include:

- Website and technology providers
- Email and communications providers
- Scheduling providers such as Calendly
- Messaging services such as WhatsApp
- Property management systems
- Airbnb, Booking.com and other booking platforms where relevant
- Cleaning, maintenance and other property service providers
- Accountants and professional advisers
- Payment providers
- Government authorities, regulators or law enforcement where legally required

We only share information where there is a legitimate reason to do so and limit the information shared to what is reasonably necessary.

7. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Our website may contain links to third-party services, including Calendly, WhatsApp, Instagram, Airbnb, Booking.com or other websites and platforms.

Those organisations operate under their own privacy policies and are responsible for how they process information on their services.

Following an external link does not mean that we control that third party’s privacy practices.

8. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Some technology providers or platforms we use may process information outside the United Kingdom.

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

9. HOW LONG WE KEEP INFORMATION

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

As a general guide:

- Unsuccessful or inactive enquiries will normally be retained for no longer than 24 months after our last meaningful contact, unless there is a reason to retain them for longer.
- Client, contractual, financial and transaction records may be retained for up to six years after the relevant relationship or transaction ends where this is necessary for tax, accounting, legal or dispute-resolution purposes.
- Other operational information will be reviewed and deleted or anonymised when it is no longer reasonably required.

Some information may need to be retained for longer where required by law or where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

10. HOW WE PROTECT INFORMATION

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

Access to personal information is limited to people and service providers who reasonably need it to perform their role.

11. YOUR DATA PROTECTION RIGHTS

Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to:

- Ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you
- Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information
- Ask us to delete your personal information
- Ask us to restrict how your information is used
- Object to certain uses of your information
- Request transfer of certain information to another organisation
- Withdraw consent where we rely on consent

Not every right applies in every circumstance.

13. COOKIES AND WEBSITE ANALYTICS

We use Framer’s built-in website analytics, which is designed to operate without cookies or persistent identifiers that identify individual visitors.

If we introduce non-essential cookies, advertising technology or other tracking tools in future, we will update our approach and obtain consent where required.
