Non-sensitive details (your email address etc.) are transmitted normally over the Internet, and this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. We take every reasonable measure to ensure your data is secure and only accessed by those requiring it to process your reservation.
When you make a reservation and enter payment details, this information is encrypted. This helps ensure your data is not transferred in a readable format or be unlawfully accessed in transit.
As part of the services offered to you, the information which you provide to us may be transferred to countries outside the European Union (“EU”). By way of example, this may happen if any of our servers are from time to time located in a country outside of the EU.
These countries may not have similar data protection laws to the UK. By submitting your personal data, you are agreeing to this transfer, storing or processing. If we transfer your information outside of the EU in this way, we will take steps to ensure that appropriate security measures are taken with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this Policy.
If you use our services while you are outside the EU, your information may be transferred outside the EU in order to provide you with those services.
Any changes to this policy will be posted on this page.
This policy is effective from 23 January 2019.
If you want to make a complaint on how we have handled your personal information, please contact our data control contact at datacontrol@northsideapartments.co.uk
who will investigate the matter and report back to you.
If you are still not satisfied after our response, or believe we are not using your personal information in line with the law, you also have the right to complain to the data-protection regulator in the country where you live or work.
For the UK, this is the Information Commissioners Office, the UK’s independent authority set up to uphold information rights in the public interest, promoting openness by public bodies and data privacy for individuals.
If you wish to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioners Office, you can do so at: https://ico.org.uk
