Our Updated PRIVACY POLICY
New GDPR regulation has been designed to enhance data protection for all individuals in relation to personal data and information held within the European Union. Our Privacy Policy contains important information about personal details we collect, what we do with this information, who we may share it with and why, and your choices and rights when it comes to personal information you have given us.
What information do we collect?
A key element of the new regulation is transparency in terms of providing accessible information about how we process personal information. As a service provider we hold and process individuals’ data. The kind of data we hold can refer to the following- please note this list is not exhaustive.
Name, address, date of birth, contact numbers, bank account details, email address, letters, PPS number, emergency contact details, key holder names, tenant details, owners’ leases, car details and other personable identifiable information. Personal data can also be collected when you submit a query, send us your feedback, enter a competition, or complete a survey.
Data Collection via our website

What do we do with information we collect? How do we use collected information?
Any information collected by Lansdowne Partnership is obtained for purposes which are specific, lawful, and clearly stated. Any use of the data by Lansdowne Partnership is compatible with the purposes for which the data was acquired.
