Privacy Policy
We
have developed this policy so that you can feel confident
about the privacy and security of the personal information
that you provide to us.
Disclosure of information
ascendant complies with the Data Protection
Act 1998 in the United Kingdom. We take all reasonable care
to prevent any unauthorised access to and use of your personal
data.
Our staff and those working for our agents
and contractors maintain a responsibility to keep your information
confidential and will only use it to offer relevant products
and services related to your enquiry.
Any personal details that we use to provide
or promote our products and services to you (e.g. name,
address, email address, telephone number, or any details
of the services you have purchased or about which you have
enquired) will not be passed to any third party organisation
for marketing purposes without your permission and will
not be used by us for any purpose other than that which
you requested.
The Internet is not a secure medium. However
to protect your data we put in place various security procedures
including use of firewalls, backup measures, we limit access
to data to relevant personnel and password protect all machinery
holding personal data.
Personal information
You don't have to register to access ascendant's
website, however, we want to help you find exactly what
you require as quickly and smoothly as possible. Therefore
the more we know about your preferences the easier it is
for us to help you. For this reason we encourage you to
register with us.
Once registered we are in a better position to recommend
specific properties or services of potential interest to
you. Your details may be combined with other information
in our records in order to:
- Save you having to keep giving us
the same information for different ascendant services.
- Help you to get more out of your visits
to our website by suggesting information about products
and services which may be useful to you.
- Keep other parts of ascendant up to date
with your details in order to offer you products and services
by post or e-mail that may interest you.
When you register you consent to us using
your personal data in the manner described in this Policy.
If you do not register, the personal data
we collect from you will be limited to the specific enquiry
you have made. ascendant will use that data for no other
purpose than to facilitate that transaction.
If any of the information that you provide
to ascendant changes, for example if you change your email
address, name, address or contact numbers, please let us
know the correct details by sending an email to info@ascendant-property.com
