8. HOW LONG WE KEEP PERSONAL INFORMATION FOR

The duration for which we retain your personal information will differ depending on the type of information and the reason why we collected it from you. However, in some cases personal information may be retained on a long term basis: for example, personal information that we need to retain for legal purposes will normally be retained in accordance with usual commercial practice and regulatory requirements. Generally, where there is no legal requirement we retain all physical and electronic records for a period of approximately 20 years until after you have completed your purchase of a property from us due to this being the limitation period for claims about latent defects. The exceptions to this general rule are:

• Legal property information and legal files will be retained for approximately 12 years after completion because this is the limitation period for claims related to property title claims;
• Information regarding fixtures and fittings will retained for approximately 6 years after completion because this is the limitation period for claims related to breach of contract
• CCTV images will generally be retained for approximately 30 days and then overwritten, unless required to be retained for any reason (please see our separate privacy notice for more details)
• Audio recordings will generally be retained for approximately 30 days and then overwritten or deleted, unless required for any reason (please see our separate privacy notice for more details)
• If for any reason your property transaction with us does not complete, then we would retain your records for approximately 6 years (instead of 20 years) because this is the limitation period for claims related to breach of contract.

It is important to ensure that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and up-to-date, and you should let us know if anything changes, for example if you move home or change your phone number or email address. You may be able to update some of the personal information we hold about you through our customer portal. Alternatively, you can contact us by using the details set out in the "Contacting us" section below.

Your rights in relation to your personal information

You have the following rights in relation to your personal information: (i) the right to be informed about how your personal information is being used; (ii) the right to access the personal information we hold about you; (iii) the right to request the correction of inaccurate personal information we hold about you; (iv) the right to request the erasure of your personal information in certain limited circumstances; (v) the right to restrict processing of your personal information where certain requirements are met; (vi) the right to object to the processing of your personal information; (vii) the right to request that we transfer elements of your data either to you or another service provider; and (viii) the right to object to certain automated decision making processes using your personal information.

You should note that some of these rights, for example the right to require us to transfer your data to another service provider or the right to object to automated decision making, may not apply as they have specific requirements and exemptions which apply to them and they may not apply to personal information recorded and stored in our CCTV system. For example we do not use automated decision making in relation to your personal data in our CCTV system. However some have no conditions attached, so your right to withdraw consent or object to processing for direct marketing are absolute rights.

There is no legal, contractual or other requirement or obligation for you to provide our CCTV system with your personal information.

More information about your legal rights can be found on the Information Commissioner’s website at https://ico.org.uk/for-the-pub....

To exercise any of the above rights, or if you have any questions relating to your rights, please contact us by using the details set out in the "Contacting us" section below

If you are unhappy with the way we are using your personal information you can also complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office or your local data protection regulator in the European Union if you are based outside the UK or bring a claim in the courts. However we are here to help and would encourage you to contact us to resolve your complaint first.
