Privacy Policy
What is this Privacy Policy for?
This privacy policy is for this website [commercialpropertyinvestor.co.uk] and governs
the privacy of its users who choose to use it.
Introduction
- This is a notice to inform you of our policy about all information
that we record about you. It sets out the conditions under which we may
process any information that we collect from you, or that you provide to
us. It covers information that could identify you (“personal information”)
and information that could not. In the context of the law and this notice,
“process” means collect, store, transfer, use or otherwise act on
information. - We regret that if there are one or more points below with which you
are not happy, your only recourse is to leave our website immediately. - We take seriously the protection of your privacy and
confidentiality. We understand that all visitors to our website are
entitled to know that their personal data will not be used for any purpose
unintended by them, and will not accidentally fall into the hands of a
third party. - We undertake to preserve the confidentiality of all information you
provide to us, and hope that you reciprocate. - Our policy complies with UK law accordingly implemented, including
that required by the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). - The law requires us to tell you about your rights and our
obligations to you in regards to the processing and control of your
personal data. We do this now, by requesting that you read the information
provided at knowyourprivacyrights.org - Except as set out below, we do not share, or sell, or disclose to a
third party, any information collected through our website.
The bases on which we process information about you
The law requires us to determine under which of six defined bases we process different
categories of your personal information, and to notify you of the basis for
each category.
If a basis on which we process your personal information is no longer relevant, then we shall
immediately stop processing your data.
If the basis changes then if required by law, we shall notify you of the change and of any
new basis under which we have determined that we can continue to process your
information.
1. Information we process because we have a contractual obligation with you
When you create an account on our website, buy a product or service from us, or
otherwise agree to our terms and conditions, a contract is formed between you
and us.
In order to carry out our obligations under that contract we must process the information
you give us. Some of this information may be personal information.
We may use it in order to:
- verify your identity for security purposes
- sell products to you
- provide you with our services
- provide you with suggestions and advice on products, services and
how to obtain the most from using our website
We process this information on the basis there is a contract between us, or that you have
requested we use the information before we enter into a legal contract.
Additionally, we may aggregate this information in a general way and use it to provide class
information, for example to monitor our performance with respect to a
particular service we provide. If we use it for this purpose, you as an
individual will not be personally identifiable.
We shall continue to process this information until the contract between us ends or is
terminated by either party under the terms of the contract.
2. Information we process with your consent
Through certain actions when otherwise there is no contractual relationship between us,
such as when you browse our website or ask us to provide you more information
about our business, including our products and services, you provide your
consent to us to process information that may be personal information.
Wherever possible, we aim to obtain your explicit consent to process this information,
for example, by asking you to agree to our use of cookies.
Sometimes you might give your consent implicitly, such as when you send us a message by
e-mail to which you would reasonably expect us to reply.
Except where you have consented to our use of your information for a specific purpose, we do
not use your information in any way that would identify you personally. We may
aggregate it in a general way and use it to provide class information, for
example to monitor the performance of a particular page on our website.
If you have given us explicit permission to do so, we may from time to time pass your name
and contact information to selected associates whom we consider may provide
services or products you would find useful.
We continue to process your information on this basis until you withdraw your consent or it
can be reasonably assumed that your consent no longer exists.
You may withdraw your consent at any time by instructing us at marketing@kinrossoffice.co.uk. However, if you do so, you may not be able to use our website or our services further.
3. Information we process because we have a legal obligation
We are subject to the law like everyone else. Sometimes, we must process your information in
order to comply with a statutory obligation.
For example, we may be required to give information to legal authorities if they so request
or if they have the proper authorisation.
This may include your personal information.
Specific uses of information you provide to us
4. Information provided on the understanding that it will be shared with a third party
Once your information enters the public domain, we have no control over what any
individual third party may do with it. We accept no responsibility for their
actions at any time.
Provided your request is reasonable and there is no legal basis for us to retain it, then at
our discretion we may agree to your request to delete personal information that
you have posted. You can make a request by contacting us.
5. Complaints regarding content on our website
We attempt to moderate user generated content, but we are not always able to do so as soon as that content is published.
If you complain about any of the content on our website, we shall investigate your
complaint.
If we feel it is justified or if we believe the law requires us to do so, we shall remove the
content while we investigate.
Free speech is a fundamental right, so we have to make a judgment as to whose right will be
obstructed: yours, or that of the person who posted the content that offends
you.
If we think your complaint is vexatious or without any basis, we shall not correspond with
you about it.
6. Information relating to your method of payment
Payment information is never taken by us or transferred to us either through our
website or otherwise. Our employees and contractors never have access to it.
At the point of payment, you are transferred to a secure page on the website of ‘WorldPay’ or
some other reputable payment service provider. That page may be branded to look
like a page on our website, but it is not controlled by us.
9. Sending a message to our support team
When you contact us, whether by telephone, through our website or by e-mail, we collect
the data you have given to us in order to reply with the information you need.
We record your request and our reply in order to increase the efficiency of our business.
We keep personally identifiable information associated with your message, such as your
name and email address so as to be able to track our communications with you to
provide a high quality service.
10. Complaining
When we receive a complaint, we record all the information you have given to us.
We use that information to resolve your complaint.
If your complaint reasonably requires us to contact some other person, we may decide to
give to that other person some of the information contained in your complaint.
We do this as infrequently as possible, but it is a matter for our sole
discretion as to whether we do give information, and if we do, what that
information is.
We may also compile statistics showing information obtained from this source to assess the
level of service we provide, but not in a way that could identify you or any
other person.
11. Affiliate and business partner information
This is information given to us by you in the situation where you have been allowed to act in the
capacity of an affiliate of us or as a business partner.
It allows us to recognise visitors that you have referred to us, and to credit to you
commission due for such referrals. It also includes information that allows us
to transfer commission to you.
The information is not used for any other purpose.
We undertake to preserve the confidentiality of the information and of the terms of our
relationship.
We expect any affiliate or partner to agree to reciprocate this policy.

European Union.
For example, some of the software our website uses may have been developed in the United
States of America or in Australia.
We use the following safeguards with respect to data transferred outside the European
Union:

organisation and abides by the same binding corporate rules regarding data
processing. - the data protection clauses in our contracts with data processors
include transfer clauses written by or approved by a supervisory authority
in the European Union - we comply with a code of conduct approved by a supervisory
authority in the European Union - we are certified under an approved certification mechanism as
