Brendons is committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. Should we ask you to provide certain information by which you can be identified, when using this website, for example when completing an enquiry form or clicking on an email link, then you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement and will only be used for the purposes for which you consent.

What we collect and what we do with the information we gather

We collect the following information automatically as you browse the website:

  • Your IP address and other data associated with your computer or device;
  • Information on which pages your computer or device visits and how long you spend on a page;
  • Information on which search terms you may have used in a search engine to get to the site or what other route you took to get here.

This information is held in an anonymised form (ie we don’t know who you are, only that you visited and interacted with the site). We use this information in Google Analytics to understand how the site is performing and to try to keep improving it.

We may collect some or all of the following information when you fill in a contact or enquiry form, click an email link or phone one of the numbers on the website (we may collect a maximum of the following):

  • Your name
  • Your email
  • Your phone number
  • Company Name
  • Address
  • The purpose of your enquiry

We use this information to respond to your enquiry. It will only be used for that purpose unless you also give us additional permission to stay in contact to hear about further property information, offers we are running etc. For example, if your enquiry is about rental properties, we may ask your permission to contact you in the coming weeks about properties that may suit your requirements.

If you do consent to stay in contact, we will use your information to send you occasional emails and/or phone calls and you will be free to unsubscribe at any time.

Who will your information be shared with?

Your personal data will not be sold or shared with any third parties.

We will use the information within Brendons for the purpose it was intended – e.g. to respond to your enquiry. The information will be shared with the minimum amount of people necessary – e.g. Residential Sales enquiries go directly to our Residential Account Managers. Trade Rental Enquiries go directly to our Commercial Team.

In the event that it would be useful to pass your personal data to third parties, e.g. if you would benefit from speaking to one of our partners, such as for mortgage, surveying or legal advice, you will be contacted in order to give your positive consent for this purpose.

Your personal data may also be shared if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation or in order to enforce or apply our terms of use on this website and other agreements.

How long will we retain your information

We will retain your personal data for no longer than is necessary and in any event no longer that 12 months from the receipt of an enquiry unless you have indicated that you would like to stay in contact. Following this period all personal data will be deleted.

If you choose to opt-in to receive further communications or property information from us, we will hold onto your data for the purposes of sending you those communications. You are free to choose to opt-out at any time and at that point we will delete your data.

Security

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical and electronic procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

Enquiry information is not stored online. When you fill in a contact form or click an email link, the information is emailed directly to us and is not recorded on the website.

Name, email and property interest details are stored online in a secure system for those customers that choose to join our residential property sales or lettings lists.
