Confidence Property takes your privacy very seriously. We ask that you read this Privacy Notice carefully as it contains important information about what to expect when we collect personal information about you and how we will use your personal data.
How we use your personal information
This privacy notice is to let you know how we look after your personal information. This applies to visitors to our websites and people who do business with us or register to receive information about us and/or the products and services we provide.
This includes what you tell us about yourself, what we learn by having you as a client, and the choices you give us about what information you want us to send you. This notice explains how we do this and tells you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you. Occasionally we may also receive information about you from other sources (such as credit reference agencies) which we will add to the information which we already hold about you in order to help us provide our services, deal with your inquiries and requests and administer contracts.
Our Privacy Promise
To keep your data safe and private.
Not to sell your data.
To give you ways to manage and review your marketing choices at any time.
Data Protection law changed on 25 May 2018. This notice sets out most of your rights under the new laws. We may update it again when and if more changes come into effect.
If you have any questions, or want more details about how we use your personal information, you can ask us by emailing hello@confidenceproperty.co.uk or you can call us on Tel. No.0161 327 1375
How the law protects you
As well as our Privacy Promise, your privacy is protected by law. This section explains how that works. Data Protection law says that we are allowed to use personal information only if we have a lawful reason to do so. This includes sharing it outside of Confidence Property Ltd.
The law says we must have one or more of these reasons:
To fulfil a contract we have with you, or
When it is our legal duty, or
When it is in our legitimate interest, or
When you consent to it.
A legitimate interest is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your information. But even then, it must not unfairly go against what is right and best for you. If we rely on our legitimate interest, we will tell you what that is.
Here is a list of all the ways that we may use your personal information, and which of the reasons we rely on. This is also where we tell you what our legitimate interests are.

Sending data outside of the EEA
