What information do we collect about you and why?
We collect information about you when you register with us or use our services. We also collect information when you voluntarily complete customer surveys and provide feedback. Website usage information is collected using cookies.
When you contact us, book a valuation, request property details, or register an interest in the services we provide, we need to know your name, postal address, email address, and contact telephone number.
We gather this information to allow us to process your registration and any valuation or viewing bookings you make for a property. The relevant information is then used by us, our agents, data processors, and sub-contractors to provide any services requested by you and to communicate with you on any matter relating to the provision of the service in general. Data processors help us to improve the services we provide to our customers through solutions that empower us to deliver exceptional experiences.

We or our agents and sub-contractors may contact you by post, email or telephone to ask you for your feedback and comments on our services.
Legitimate Business Interests
Under data protection laws we have a number of lawful bases where we can use (or 'process') your personal information. One of the lawful basis is called 'legitimate business interests.
Legitimate interests are a flexible basis upon which the law permits the processing of an individual's personal data. To determine whether we have a legitimate interest in processing your data, we balance the needs and benefits to us against the risks and benefits for you of us processing your data. This balancing is performed as objectively as possible by our Privacy Team. You are able to object to our processing and we shall consider the extent to which this affects whether we have a legitimate interest.
When you provide your personal details to us we use your information for our legitimate business interests to carry out our service providers to enable property-related transactions across the UK. Before doing this we will also carefully consider and balance any potential impact on you and your rights.
Some typical examples of when we might use this approach are for enhancing, modifying or improving the services we provide to our customers through solutions that empower us to deliver exceptional experiences, provide targeted marketing, maintain the security of our system, provide data analytics, identify usage trends and determine the effectiveness of our campaigns.
