Privacy Notice

Introduction

This document refers to personal data, this is defined as information concerning any living person (a natural person who hereafter will be called the Data Subject) that is not already in the public domain. The Data Protection Act (DPA), Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which is EU wide and far more extensive, seek to protect and enhance the rights of data subjects. These rights cover the safeguarding of personal data, protection against the unlawful processing of personal data and the unrestricted movement of personal data within the EU. It should be noted that GDPR does not apply to information already in the public domain such as Companies House data.
Black Horse Estates confirm the following information in relation to GDPR:
Who we are
Black Horse Estates is an Estate Agent
Personal Data
Black Horse Estates uses the information collected from you to provide property details, make telephone contact and to email you information which the agency believes may be of interest to you or will be useful with regards to your involvement in the buying, selling or letting of property.
In you making initial contact you consent to Black Horse Estates maintaining a marketing dialogue with you until you either opt out (which you can do at any stage) or we decide to desist in promoting our services or updating you via our mailing lists. Black Horse Estates also acts on behalf of some of our clients in the capacity of data processor. Some personal data may be collected about you from the forms you complete, from records of our correspondence and phone calls and details of your visits to our website, including but not limited to personally identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Black Horse Estates may from time to time use such information to identify our visitors and we may also collect statistics about the behaviour of visitors to our website. Our website uses cookies, which is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Black Horse Estates website visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using our website. Any information Black Horse Estates holds about you encompasses all the details we hold about you and any transactional data including any third-party information we have obtained about you from public sources and our own suppliers such as credit referencing agencies. Black Horse Estates will generally only collect the information needed so that it can provide you with our services that you have requested. If your data is passed to a third party such as a utility company, insurance provider or referencing agency you will have to have first given your prior written consent.
Lawful basis for processing any personal data
In the normal operation of our business Black Horse Estates will generally rely on one of the three following bases for processing personal data:
Consent: the individual has given clear consent for Black Horse Estates to process their personal data for a specific purpose. For example requesting to go on a mailing list.
Contract: the processing is necessary in order to fulfil a contract Black Horse Estates has with you, or because you have asked us to take specific steps before entering into a contract. For example an agency or letting agreement with the individual.
Legal obligation: the processing is necessary for Black Horse Estates to comply with the law (not including contractual obligations). For example Anti Money Laundering ID Checks.

Consent
Through agreeing to this privacy notice you are consenting to Black Horse Estates processing your personal data for the purposes outlined. You can withdraw consent at any time by emailing info@blackhorseestates.co.uk or by phoning +44 (0) 020 8558 5533 or writing to us, see last section for full contact details.
Disclosure

We do not broker or pass on information gained from your engagement
with us without your consent. However, we may disclose your Personal Information to meet legal obligations, regulations or valid governmental request. Black Horse Estates may also enforce its terms of business, including investigating potential violations of our terms of business to detect, prevent or mitigate fraud or security or technical issues; or to protect against imminent harm to the rights, property or safety of the firm, our clients and/or the wider community.
Retention Policy
Black Horse Estates will process personal data during the duration of any contract and will continue to store only the personal data needed for the minimum time period required after the contract has expired to meet any legal obligations. After this time period has elapsed any personal data not needed will be deleted.
