Portier Privacy & GDPR Statement DRAFT

Portier Limited takes your privacy seriously and will only use personal information for legitimate purposes necessary to support and respond to genuine stakeholder interest in our business. We will never sell your data.

Legitimate interests

Portier Limited may process limited personal data under the lawful basis of Legitimate Interests (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR). This means we use information only where it is necessary for our business purposes and where doing so does not override your rights or freedoms.

We rely on legitimate interests to:

  • Communicate with professionals in the property and housing sectors
  • Respond to enquiries and manage ongoing projects
  • Identify and assess development, land, and property opportunities

Maintain business relationships and improve our services

Why this is necessary

Using this information allows us to deliver our consultancy services, respond to requests, and engage with organisations and individuals who reasonably expect contact in a professional context. The information we process is typically limited to professional contact details such as name, role, email address, phone number, company information and publicly available data. By providing us with your data, you warrant to us that you are over 13 years of age.

All Portier Limited employees adhere to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and are aware of their personal responsibilities about the way they process customer data.

Data Handling

When handling personal data, we adhere to the following primary principles:

  • Data is obtained and used for our specific business purpose.
  • Data is kept on file for a reasonable duration of time to accompany relevant records; including the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
  • For tax purposes the law requires us to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Financial, Transaction and Identity Data) for 6 years after they stop being customers.
  • Data is not kept for longer than necessary.
  • Processing is lawful, fair and transparent.
  • Digital data is kept in computer systems which are password protected, safe and secure.

Nobody’s personal data shall be shared with unconnected third parties without their consent. All personal data shall be protected from third party theft, using proven digital and physical security measures. All staff engaged in handling personal data shall be trained in GDPR.

Our website may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share your data. We do not control these third parties and are not responsible for their privacy statements. When you leave our website, we encourage you to read the privacy notice of every website you visit.

Your Rights

We support the right to be forgotten. If you would like your data to be erased from our system or you have any queries regarding your data, please contact us at privacy@portier.co.uk.
