GENERAL PRIVACY NOTICE

 

Synergy Property Services Ltd considers your personal information to be very important. A description of what personal data we process and for what purposes is set out in this Privacy Notice.  We will always take into account your interests and rights.  This Privacy Notice sets out your rights and our obligations to you.

 

Who are we?

This Privacy Notice is provided to you by Synergy Property Services Ltd (Synergy) which is the data controller for your data.

 

Your personal data – what is it?

“Personal data” is any information about a living individual which allows them to be identified from that data (for example a name, photographs, videos, email address, or address).  Identification can be directly using the data itself or by combining it with other information which helps to identify a living individual.  The processing of personal data is governed by legislation relating to personal data which applies in the United Kingdom including the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR) and other legislation relating to personal data and rights such as the Human Rights Act.

What is the legal basis for processing your personal data?

Synergy is a business providing a range of property services to private individuals, public authorities and corporate businesses. Most personal data is processed for delivery of a service (contract) or compliance with a legal obligation (e.g. EPBD, accounts or taxation).

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

For all other purposes we will first obtain your consent to that use.

 

Sharing your personal data

This section provides information about the third parties with whom Synergy may share your personal data.  These third parties have an obligation to put in place appropriate security measures and will be responsible to you directly for the manner in which they process and protect your personal data. It is likely that we will need to share your data with some or all of the following (but only where necessary):

 

Other data controllers we work with:

We may need to share personal data we hold with other organisations so that they can carry out their responsibilities. If we and the other data controllers are processing your data jointly for the same purposes, then the Synergy and the other data controllers may be “joint data controllers” which mean we are all collectively responsible to you for your data. Where another data controller is processing your data for their own independent purposes then each of us will be independently responsible to you and if you have any questions, wish to exercise any of your rights (see below) or wish to raise a complaint, you should do so directly to the relevant data controller.

 

How long do we keep your personal data?

In general, we will endeavour to keep data only for as long as we need it.  This means that we will delete it when it is no longer needed. We keep records only as long as we are legally required to do so. For example:

 

Your rights and your personal data

Transfer of Data Abroad

Synergy does not transfer any data to countries or territories outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”).

Our website however is accessible from overseas so on occasion some personal data (for example in a newsletter) may be accessed from overseas. We will not publish personal data on the website without prior written consent of the individual concerned.

 

Further processing

If we wish to use your personal data for a new purpose, different to that for which it was originally obtained, then we will explain to you this new use, setting out the relevant purposes and processing conditions.  Where and whenever necessary, we will seek your prior consent to the new processing.
