Who we share your personal information with

Should you consider purchasing a property from us we may share your information with selected third parties that work on our behalf, to provide you with a product or service that is relevant to your enquiry or your reservation. These companies are required to ensure appropriate security measures are in place and maintain the confidentiality of your information. These third parties can include, but are not limited to mortgage or finance providers, other legal and professional advisors. This information will only be used by us in relation to your enquiry or by third parties for the provision of a related product or service. The information will not be used for any other purpose.

If you enter into a contract to purchase a Gleeson home, we will also share relevant information with conveyancing solicitors, our subcontractors and supply chain, utility providers including Gas, Electric, Water and telecommunications, the National House Building Council (NHBC), online survey providers, estate and management agents and to Local Authorities.

We may share your email address with a third party data processor such as www.mailchimp.com for the purpose of emailer distribution. If at any time you wish to stop receiving these emails you can unsubscribe via the link in the footer of the email or contact us at the address noted at the end of this notice.

We may share your personal data within the Gleeson group of companies.

Finally, under limited circumstances, your personal information may be disclosed to third parties as permitted by, or to comply with, applicable laws and regulations, for instance, when responding to subject access requests, proceedings of a court of law or similar legal process, to protect against fraud, and to otherwise cooperate with law enforcement or regulatory authorities.

The legal basis we rely on to process your personal information

Under Data Protection legislation we are allowed to process your personal information if we meet certain conditions. The reason for processing that we rely on are as follows:

1. In the performance of a contract

Where you transact to buy a Gleeson home, we will use your personal information so that we can fulfil our contractual obligations to you, and any relevant third party.

2. In the performance of our legal obligations Where we are required to do so by law, we will disclose your personal information, for example, where your personal information is requested by a law enforcement agency or where we believe it is necessary to disclose your information to investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud or situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any member of our employment, or subcontractors or supply chain.

3. Where we have a legitimate interest to in doing so

Where we consider that the use of your personal information is necessary to achieve a legitimate interest of Gleeson, and we’ve balanced that against your interests, rights and freedoms, then the law permits us to handle your personal information. Many of the reasons that we collect your personal information will fall under this category.

4. With your consent

Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal information although we will get your consent before sending third party direct marketing communications to you via email or text message., or as otherwise set out in this privacy notice. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting us.

How long we will hold your personal information

Data processed for enquiry purposes will be held for the length of time we are actively selling new homes on the development you have requested information about and other Gleeson developments in the same area or until you ask us to remove it. If you purchase a home from us we may continue to process your personal information for 15 years or such shorter period as the law may provide or we may select. This comes into effect from the actual completion date of your purchase. If your purchase is assisted by a shared equity scheme we will continue to process your personal information up to 12 years after monies owed to Gleeson have been paid and the contract is completed. If your purchase was under a leasehold arrangement we will continue to process your personal information in respect of the leasing arrangement for the earlier of up to 12 years from either notification that you have sold your Gleeson home or when we no longer have any interest in the property.

Storage of your personal Information

We will store digital or hard copy data on our premises or it may be transferred to a secure third party facility for storage. We will keep your information secure by taking appropriate technical and organisational measures.

The information supplied to us via the enquiry forms on our website, or via enquiry forms on third party sites such as Rightmove, Facebook or Instagram is held on our computers and servers hosted by third parties.

Your personal information may be processed both within the European Economic Area ("EEA") and outside the EEA. If we process your personal information at a destination outside the EEA we confirm that we have appropriate contracts in place with any third parties based outside the EEA to ensure your data is processed in accordance with applicable Data Protection legislation.
