We act as a Data Controller for the purposes of processing your personal data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable laws.
Lawful Basis for Data Processing
By submitting your data, you give consent to the collection, processing, and sharing of your personal information as described in this Agreement. Additionally, we may process your data under legitimate interest where appropriate, balancing our interests with your rights and freedoms. We conduct a Legitimate Interests Assessment (LIA) to ensure that our interests do not override your rights.
Types of Personal Data Collected
We collect the following types of personal data for the purpose of connecting you with property investment firms:
Personal Identification Information: Name, address, phone number, and email address.
Additional Data: Any other information you provide to us relevant to your property investment needs.
Purpose of Data Collection and Processing
We collect and process your personal data for the following purposes:
To match you with property investment firms who may offer services aligned with your needs.
To fulfill our role as an introducer to third-party property investment firms.
To enable property investment firms to contact you regarding financial products and services.
Your data may be shared with or, where explicit consent has been provided, sold to third-party property investment firms for these purposes. If you do not wish for your data to be sold, you can contact us at any time to opt out of data selling.
Data Sharing and Recipients
We will share your personal data with selected property investment firms and other financial institutions to assist them in providing relevant services to you. Additionally, we may use third-party service providers (such as data storage providers) to assist with processing and securely storing your data. All third parties are required to comply with GDPR and have contractual agreements in place to ensure the protection of your data.
Third-Country Data Transfers
If we transfer your data outside of the UK or the European Economic Area (EEA), we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses or adequacy decisions, to protect your personal data.
Data Retention
We will retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Agreement or as long as legally required. Typically, data is retained for five years from the end of our services with you, unless further retention is necessary. Once we no longer require your data, it will be securely deleted or anonymized.
Your Rights
You have the following rights regarding your personal data under GDPR:
Right to Access: You may request access to the personal data we hold about you.
Right to Rectification: You may request corrections to inaccurate or incomplete data.
Right to Erasure: You may request the deletion of your personal data when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

Right to Data Portability: You may request that your data be provided to you in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
Right to Object: You may object to the processing of your data for direct marketing or other legitimate interests.
Right to Withdraw Consent: You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us.
This does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected].
Automated Decision-Making
We do not use automated decision-making or profiling that significantly affects you in the course of processing your personal data.
Security Measures
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption, access controls, and secure data storage for sensitive data in transit and at rest.

Supervisory Authority Contact
If you believe that we have not adequately addressed your concerns regarding the processing of your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
