You may have rights to request access to personal information we hold about you, ask for correction of inaccurate information, and raise concerns about how your information has been handled. In some cases, we may need to refuse or limit a request where the law permits or requires us to do so, including where the information is subject to legal privilege or must be retained for compliance purposes.
To protect privacy and confidentiality, we may ask for information to verify your identity before responding to a request. We will review each request and respond within a reasonable period, taking into account the nature of the request and any legal or operational constraints. If we cannot fully comply, we will explain the position where appropriate.
We retain personal information for as long as it is needed for the purpose for which it was collected, for related business administration, or to meet legal, accounting, or professional obligations. When information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete, de-identify, or securely archive it, depending on the circumstances and applicable law.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When changes are material, we will take reasonable steps to make the updated version available and, where appropriate, draw attention to the change through the website or other usual communication channels. The date of the latest revision may be shown on the policy page.
We may collect contact details, enquiry content, property-related information, account or profile details if an account is created, technical identifiers, device and browser information, usage data, and records of communications.
