4. What processing we do with the personal information collected
The personal information which we obtain from you is used:

We may arrange for photographs to be taken of property exteriors or interiors in connection with repair requirements, but these will only be used for those purposes.
The purpose of our holding this data is solely to facilitate efficient contact with you for the purpose of conducting Property-related business, or providing you with services or information which you have requested. This use is considered lawful under Article 6b under the terms of the General Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPR’) legislation.
5. Disclosure of your information
We may share your personal information with third parties, including other professionals working alongside us in the proper conduct of our survey work, e.g., maintenance contractors, solicitors, accountants, and insurance brokers.
We may also share your personal information with third parties if we find ourselves under a formal duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation.
We may also exchange information with other organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
6. Where personal data is stored
• Information is held in electronic accounts systems on personal computers at our offices plus a laptop and mobile phone device to which only our principal (Mr. Keith Perry) has the passwords. All devices are fire-walled and have Webroot Anti-virus Software.

• You have the right to correct information that we hold.
• You have the right to be forgotten, though it is unlikely to be possible to accept your request if, for example, we have a legal duty to retain and continue to process your information.

• You have the right to lodge a complaint directly with the supervisory authority, i.e., the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk)
9. Data breaches
We will always do our best to ensure that your personal information held by us is never stored or processed in a way that may be compromised or intercepted.

So in the event of our identifying that a data breach has taken place, we shall contact any person who may have been a victim of that breach immediately after discovering it.
