Hunters is committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. This privacy
policy explains how we use the information we collect about you, how you can
instruct us if you prefer to limit the use of that information and procedures

personal data within article 5 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation
(Regulation (EU) 2016/679) (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Summary of how we use your data

The Hunters branch that you are dealing with is either a subsidiary of Hunters
Property Limited or a franchisee of Hunters Franchising Limited, which places
obligations on them relating to the means and purposes of the processing of your
data.  Accordingly, Hunters Franchising Limited is considered a joint data
controller with the Franchisee and can request access to the data you provide. 

Hunters and its Franchisees use your personal data to deliver services to you,
to send you information about properties and property related services you may
request of us or that we think will be of interest to you, also to conduct
searches about your identity, your current and past residency addresses, and
your right to live in the UK and credit history to meet applicable laws and to
provide a recommendation to landlord clients, on your suitability as a tenant.

Information about you is shared with partners as described in this policy who
have undertaken to hold your personal data in compliance with applicable laws.

Where Hunters and our Franchisees rely on your consent for direct marketing
purposes, you can withdraw this consent at any time.

What information do we collect about you and why?

We collect information about you when you register with us or use our services.
We also collect information when you voluntarily complete customer surveys and
provide feedback. Website usage information is collected using cookies. Some
branches within the network may record telephone conversations for Training
purposes.

When you contact us, book a valuation, request property details or register an
interest in the services we provide, we need to know your name, postal address,
email address and contact telephone number.

We gather this information to allow us to process your registration and any
valuation or viewing bookings you make for a property. The relevant information
is then used by us, our agents, data processors and sub-contractors to provide
any services requested by you and to communicate with you on any matter relating
to the provision of the service in general. Data processors help us to improve
the services we provide to our customers through solutions which empower us to
deliver exceptional experiences.

We may also use aggregate information and statistics for the purpose of
monitoring website usage in order to help us develop the website and our
services and may provide such aggregate information to third parties. These
statistics will not include information that can be used to identify any
individual.

From time to time we may provide your information to our customer service
department for research and analysis purposes so that we can monitor and improve
the services we provide. We or our agents and sub-contractors may contact you by
post, email or telephone to ask you for your feedback and comments on our
services.

Legitimate Business Interests

Under data protection laws we have a number of lawful basis where we can use (or
'process') your personal information. One of the lawful basis is called
'legitimate business interests'.

Legitimate interests are a flexible basis upon which the law permits the
processing of an individual's personal data. To determine whether we have a
legitimate interest in processing your data, we balance the needs and benefits
to us against the risks and benefits for you of us processing your data. This
balancing is performed as objectively as possible by our Privacy Team. You are
able to object to our processing and we shall consider the extent to which this
affects whether we have a legitimate interest.

When you provide your personal details to us we use your information for our
legitimate business interests to carry out our service provision to enable
property related transactions across the UK. Before doing this we will also
carefully consider and balance any potential impact on you and your rights.

Some typical examples of when we might use this approach are for enhancing,
modifying or improving the services we provide to our customers through
solutions which empower us to deliver exceptional experiences, provide targeted
marketing, maintain the security of our system, provide data analytics, identify
usage trends and determine the effectiveness of our campaigns.

   customer voluntarily discloses health, religious, ethnicity or criminal
   information to support their request for advice and/or services. 
 * Telephone call recording will be turned off, when a customer's credit or
   debit card details are given, in line with Payment Card Industry Data
