Privacy Policy

We have developed this privacy policy in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to the privacy of your data and to comply with our obligations under the EU General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR).

Personal Data is information, or any combination of separate pieces of information, that could be used to identify you.

This privacy policy applies to both visitors who are registered on our website or contact Durlings in respect of a property we are marketing, and to clients who retain Durlings.  It is accordingly divided into two sections:

Section 1 : This section sets out, in relation to information we collect from our wesite or by email or telephone, the practices we follow to respect the privacy of all visitors.

Section 2 : Under the GDPR, we are required to update the data protection references in our engagement letters with clients and our standard terms and conditions and, in the case of individual clients, provide certain details about Durlings and collection and use of your personal data.

Section 1

At Durlings we have focused on implementing fair information practices that are designed to protect your privacy.  If you have questions, or you do not feel that your concerns have been addressed in this privacy policy, or you just want to talk with us, feel free to contact us by email at office@durlings.co.uk.

Data Collection

We collect personally identifiable information that is voluntarily provided when you register on our website (User Data).  The User Data that Durlings receives from visitors includes name, email address and telephone numbers, and any other information provided by visitors in email messages or attachments.Typically, User Data is collected in order to assist visitors to:

  • register for certain areas of the website
  • receive newsletters
  • contact us for further information

It is Durlings’ policy to limit the information collected to only the minimum information required to complete a website visitor’s request.

Third Parties

It is Durlings’ policy only to disclose User Data to third parties under the following circumstances:

  • when explicitly requested by the visitor

Third Party Links

Any links to third party websites are provided to users only as a convenience.  The inclusion of the link does not mean Durlings endorses those sites and we strongly recommend visitors review the privacy notices or policies relating to those sites.  Durlings accepts no responsibility for the content of such sites or their privacy policies.

What are your rights as a client?

If at any point you believe the information we process on you is incorrect you can request to see this information and have it corrected or deleted.  You can contact our Data Protection manager if you have a complaint on how we have handled your personal data.

If you are not satisfied with our response or believe we are not processing your personal data legally you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

Unless otherwise agreed with you, we will only collect basic personal data about you, which does not include any sensitive personal data but does include the likes of your name, home or business address, email address and telephone number.

A full list of your rights under GDPR is as follows:

  1. The right to access the personal data we hold on you.
  2. The right to correct and update the personal data we hold on you.
  3. The right to have your personal data erased.
  4. The right to restrict the processing of your personal data.
  5. The right to data portability.
  6. The right to withdraw your consent to the processing of data at any time.
  7. The right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioners Office.

You can contact the Information Commissioner’s Office via email, on 0303 123 1113, or at the Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.

Data Collection

We need to know basic personal data in order to provide you with our services, and to claim our right to be paid for our services under our terms of engagement or our standard terms and conditions.  We will not collect any personal data from you that we do not need.

Use of Data

All the personal data we hold about you will be processed by our staff (who are subject to strict internal procedures) and no third parties will have access to it unless there is a legal obligation for us to provide them with this.  We have set out below the legal bases for Durlings to process your data.

Some of our processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation.  For example, Durlings is a regulated entity and therefore has a duty to act as a data controller and is obliged to report certain matters to its regulators or to law enforcement agencies.

We may also process data if it is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, or to take steps to enter into a contract.

Where your information is used other than in accordance with one of these uses, we will first obtain your consent to that use.

How long do we keep your personal data?

We keep your personal data for a minimum of 6 years, after which time it will be destroyed if it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was obtained.  If you consent to receive marketing information, any data we use for this purpose will be kept until you notify us that you no longer wish to receive such information.

Sharing your personal data

Your personal data will only be shared with third parties, including other data controllers (who are subject to the same data protection rules as us), where it is necessary for the performance of the data controllers’ tasks or where you first give us your prior consent.  We may need to share your data with our agents, suppliers and contractors.  For example, we may ask a supplier to send out newsletters on our behalf, or to maintain our database software, or to provide you with a survey, report or certificate.
