Privacy Policy

Our Privacy Policy sets out in detail how we deal with any information provided by you.

Information gathering

We gather most of our information via customers visiting our website. We also gather information during telephone conversations, email contact and via property portals such as Rightmove and Spareroom.

There are two types of information we collect. The first is anonymous information. This cannot be tracked back to a specific individual and typically could be statistics of how many visitors log on to and move around our website on a daily basis but would not show names, email addresses or indeed gender of the person visiting the site. At Slater & Brandley we aggregate questions or queries for internal reporting, targeted advertising and to improve the overall service we provide to our visitors. We also collect visitor’s domain names, any referral data (such as the last URL visited before clicking through to the Slater & Brandley website) and browser and platform information.

In our day-to-day operation we may collect:

  • Full Names
  • Telephone numbers
  • Email addresses
  • Correspondence / Other contact addresses
  • Date of birth
  • National insurance numbers
  • Place of work information
  • Bank details (for payments to landlords).

We may use this information to provide you with ongoing market updates and special offers on the services that we undertake.

Information provided during ongoing contact may be used for the following purposes:

  • To provide you with marketing updates based on your legitimate interest in the services we offer.
  • To commence with and process an application for a property using a third party referencing platform, Goodlord. Goodlord will subsequently contact your previous employer(s), previous landlord, credit reference agencies and other relevant parties in order to ascertain your suitability as a prospective tenant.
