Privacy Notice
Date of last revision: 15 January 2020
Residently takes your privacy seriously, and is committed to protecting and respecting it.
We want you to understand how we collect and use information about you. We also value your comments about the way we do this.
The privacy notice describes to you:
It also contains information on the correct people to contact in the unlikely event that you have a complaint.
Here are some key details about us:
Our name: Residently Services (UK) Limited (but we will refer to ourselves using the word “we” and related words such as “us” and “our” in this privacy notice)
Place of incorporation: England and Wales (this is where we are registered)
Company number: 10834962
Registered address: 4th Floor, 100 Fenchurch Street, London EC3M 5JD
VAT number: 279 8483 31
Under data protection law, we are considered to be a “controller”. As a controller, we are responsible for, and control the processing of, your personal data. We are registered as a data controller with the Information Commissioner’s Office, which is the UK’s supervisory authority for data protection matters.
In the course of our business – namely acting as a landlord, sourcing tenants and providing property-related management services to both landlords and tenants – we collect the following personal data:
personal details, such as
contact data, such as
biographical and other data from job applications and CVs, such as
payment details, such as
transaction data, such as
technical data, such as
profile data, such as
usage data, such as
marketing data, such as
We do not knowingly collect “special category” personal data. This is a special type of sensitive data to which more stringent processing conditions apply, and comprises data concerning your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, health, sex life or sexual orientation, and genetic data and/or biometric data.
We also do not collect information about criminal convictions or offences save where we are acting as an employer, in which case our internal privacy notice will apply and will be made available to those covered.
We obtain personal data from sources as follows:
Directly from you when you interact with us, for example when you
others, if they provide your details (for example, if you are copied on an e-mail that is sent to us, and your e-mail address identifies you, we will have collected your personal data): if you are providing another person’s details, please ensure you have that person’s explicit consent to do so
from automated technologies such as cookies and tags when you use our website – for more information, please see our Cookie Policy to find out more.
reference sources, for example:
We will use your personal data only when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:
In order to process personal data, we must have a lawful reason (sometimes called a lawful basis). We always ensure that this is the case, and we set out our lawful bases below – but please note that more than one may apply at any given time: for example, if we inform you of changes to our privacy notice, we may process your personal data on the ground of complying with law and on the ground of legitimate interests.
We will use your personal data only for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we fairly consider that we need it for another reason that is compatible with the original purpose.
Please contact us if you would like more information on this, and on situations in which more than one lawful basis applies.
If you are a landlord or tenant (or prospective landlord or tenant), or applying for a job, we will process your personal data for the following purposes, on the legal basis that it is necessary for us to provide our services to you:
We process your personal information for our legitimate business purposes, which include the following:
Whenever we process your personal data for these purposes, we ensure that your interests, rights and freedoms are carefully considered.
We may process your personal data in order to comply with applicable laws (for example, if we are required to co-operate with an investigation pursuant to a court order).
Generally we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data other than in relation to sending third-party direct marketing communications to you via e-mail or text message. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place prior to the withdrawal of consent.
We will always be clear whenever we intend to process on the basis of consent, and we will process lawfully and only for the purpose for which consent was given.
We may provide your personal data to the following recipients for the purposes set out in this notice:
other companies in our group or under common ownership
landlords, superior landlords, or managing agents in relation to a property you have applied to rent or of which you are landlord
business partners from whom you have expressed a willingness to receive or consider receiving a service, in which case we will pass sufficient information to enable you to receive the service or a quote for the service (as relevant). Examples of such partners are:
business partners with whom we have entered into, or are about to enter into, a commercial collaboration under which they provide services to us, in circumstances in which the sharing of your personal data is reasonably required for that collaboration and this requirement is not outweighed by your rights
our service providers, including:
professional advisers, such as lawyers, accountants, auditors and insurers, who require such information to provide services to us or for other lawful purposes
merger or acquisition partners, to the extent that sharing your personal data is necessary
law enforcement agencies, government or public agencies or officials, regulators, and any other person or entity that has the appropriate legal authority where we are legally required or permitted to do so, to respond to claims, or to protect our rights, interests, privacy, property or safety
any other parties, where we have your specific consent to do so.
To form a contract with you, we will need some or all of the personal data described above so that we can perform that contract or the steps that lead up to it: this is set out above in this notice. If we do not receive the data, it will not be possible to perform that contract.
If you sign up to our mailing list, you will have to provide certain personal data. Of course, you may decide to stop receiving our mailings at any time.
We carefully consider the personal data that we store, and we will not keep your information in a form that identifies you for longer than is necessary for the purposes set out in this notice or as required by applicable law. In some instances, we are required to hold data for minimum periods: for example, UK tax law currently specifies a six-year period for retention of some of your personal data.
We may store your contact details, and carry out marketing profiling activities, for direct marketing purposes. If you have given your consent, or if we are otherwise permitted to do so, we may contact you about our services that may be of interest to you. You will be given the opportunity to opt out each time you are contacted.
Although we are based in England, we may transfer your personal information to a location (for example, to a secure server) outside the European Economic Area, if we consider it necessary or desirable for the purposes set out in this notice.
In such cases, to safeguard your privacy rights, transfers will be made to recipients to which a European Commission “adequacy decision” applies (this is a decision from the European Commission confirming that adequate safeguards are in place in that location for the protection of personal data), or will be carried out under standard contractual clauses that have been approved by the European Commission as providing appropriate safeguards for international personal data transfers, or by the adoption of EU-US Privacy Shield.
For more information, please contact us as detailed in "Do you want to contact us?" below.
We have security measures in place designed to prevent data loss, to preserve data integrity, and to regulate access to the data. Only our authorised employees, authorised contractors and third parties processing data on our behalf have access to your personal data.
All our employees and contractors who have access to your personal data are required to adhere to our Privacy Policy and we have in place contractual safeguards with our third-party data processors to ensure that your personal data is processed only as instructed by us.
Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.
We take all reasonable steps to keep your data safe and secure and to ensure the data is accessed only by those who have a legitimate interest to do so. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to us. Any transmission over the internet is at your own risk. Once we have received your personal data, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
Please contact as detailed in "Do you want to contact us?" below if you would like more information about this.
We draw your attention to your following rights under data protection law:
right to be informed about the collection and use of your personal data
right of access to your personal data, and the right to request a copy of the information that we hold about you and supplementary details about that information – you will be asked to provide proof of your identify and residential address, and we may ask you to provide further details to assist us in the provision of such information
right to have inaccurate personal data that we process about you rectified – we want to ensure that the personal information that we process and retain about you is accurate, so please do remember to tell us about any changes, for example if you have moved house or changed your contact details. It is your responsibility to ensure you submit true, accurate, and complete information to us – and please also update us if this information changes
right of erasure – in certain circumstances you have the right to require us to block, erase or destroy personal data that we process about you
right to object to, or restrict:
the right of portability of your data in certain circumstances.
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.
Please contact us as detailed in "Do you want to contact us?" below if you would like to know more about, or to exercise, these rights.
These rights are subject to certain limitations that exist in law. Further information about your information rights is available on the ICO’s website: https://ico.org.uk/.
Our website uses cookies. For more information on which cookies we use and how we use them, please see our cookies notice.
We may change this notice from time to time. You should check this notice on our website occasionally, in order to ensure you are aware of the most recent version.
We hope that you will be satisfied with the way in which we approach and use your personal data.
Should you find it necessary, you have a right to raise a concern with our supervisory authority, the Information Commissioner’s Office: https://ico.org.uk/.
However, we do hope that if you have a complaint about the way we handle your personal data, you will contact us in the first instance using the contact details as detailed in "Do you want to contact us?" below, so that we have an opportunity to resolve it.
