How your information will be used
1. Introduction
Ad Hoc Property Management Limited is a part of Ad Hoc International BV which includes Ad Hoc Licensee Ltd and Ad Hoc Property Owners Ltd. This Privacy notice explains how we use any personal information we collect about you when you register as a Property Guardian (also known as a Licensee) via our website or on any of our property portals.
2. What information do we collect about you?
3. How will we use the information about you?
Personal information which you supply to us during the application may be used in a number of ways, for example:
The legitimate interests given here are not exhaustive and only includes some of the most common uses. The Company will notify you in writing should any new legitimate interest not already covered by the given example arises. We will never process your data where these interests are overridden by your own interests.
We may pass your personal information to our group of companies, which includes our Dutch parent company, so that they may offer you their products and services, subject to your agreement. Ad Hoc will not share your information for marketing purposes with companies outside the Ad Hoc Group, unless we have your explicit consent or for legitimate business purposes.
In processing your application, we may send your information with and obtain information about you from, credit reference agencies, DBS, UKBA or fraud prevention agencies.
The sort of information we hold includes your application form and references, your License Agreement and any amendments to it such as License Fee Increases; correspondence with or about you, for example letters to you about your deposit contact and emergency contact details; records of any warnings for breaches issued, information collected for monitoring Guardian demographics, email addresses for surveys and marketing purposes for example.
You will, of course, inevitably be referred to in many company documents and records that are produced by our staff in the course of carrying out their duties and the business of the company. You should refer to the Data Protection Policy which is available on our website.
Where necessary, we may keep information relating to your health, which could include medical assessments after an accident in one of our buildings. This information will be used in order to comply with our health and safety and occupational health obligations – to consider how your health affects your suitability to be a Guardian and whether any adjustments to your Unit might be appropriate. We will also need this data to administer and manage statutory Health and Safety Executive (HSE) reporting.
Where we process special categories of information relating to your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious and philosophical beliefs, , biometric data or sexual orientation, we will always obtain your explicit consent to those activities unless this is not required by law or the information is required to protect your health in an emergency. Where we are processing data based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.
Other than as mentioned below, we will only disclose information about you to third parties if we are legally obliged to do so or where we need to comply with our contractual duties to you, for instance we may need to pass on certain information to our insurers, contractors or the police.
We may transfer information about you to other group companies for purposes connected with your agreement or the management of the company’s business.
In limited and necessary circumstances, your information may be transferred outside of the EEA or to an international organisation to comply with our legal or contractual requirements. Where necessary, we would only transfer data outside of the EEA to an organisation of entity that provides the following safeguards;
We do use automated decision making (including profiling) in limited circumstances including shortlisting during our recruitment process. The logic behind this would to be to only identify and shortlist candidates who meet the minimum requirements to become a Guardian such as only accepting applicants who are over the age of 18 at the time of applying into the scheme. The consequences of this logic is that a candidate who may be 18 could be excluded from the shortlist of Guardians to contact if the selection tools or system fails to pick up the age entered correctly or a potential Guardian has made an error on the online application.
Your personal data will be stored for a period required by law for current and former Guardians for tax purposes or the criteria used for determining how long your data will be based on current legislation.
If in the future we intend to process your personal data for a purpose other than that which it was collected we will provide you with information on that purpose and any other relevant information.
4. Marketing
We would like to send you information about products and services of ours and other companies in our group which may be of interest to you. If you have consented to receive marketing, you may opt out at a later date. You have a right at any time to stop us from contacting you for marketing purposes or giving your information to other members of the Ad Hoc group. If you no longer wish to be contacted for marketing purposes, please contact your local Ad Hoc branch.
5. Access to your information and correction
You have the right to request a copy of the information that we hold about you. If you would like a copy of some or all of your personal information, please email or write to our Data Protection officer (see final page for details). We may make a small charge for this service. We want to make sure that your personal information is accurate and up to date. You may ask us to correct or remove information you think is inaccurate.
