For Queens Park Real Estates to be allowed to process your personal data, we must have a legal basis for the processing. The data protection legislation sets out what these bases are. We have described below the different bases that we rely on and provided examples of the processing.
There are some contractual reasons why we have to process your personal data. When you buy a product or services on our website, it creates a contract between us. We need to process the personal data that you provide in order to fulfil our part of the contract. If you do not provide your details we won’t be able to enter into a contract with you.
Sometimes we are required to process the personal data that we hold about you for legal reasons – for example, to comply with AML regulation.
We also rely on being able to process your personal data on the basis that it is in our legitimate interests. When we do this we will always consider your interests and balance any positive or negative impact relating to such processing and your legal rights relating to data protection.

If you do not want us to process any of the personal data we have listed as being processed for legitimate purposes, you have the right to object. For more information see the section below relating to your rights. Please note that if you object we may still continue to process your personal data in certain circumstances.

Our legitimate interests include:
In some cases, we will ask whether you would like us to process your personal data. For example, if you would like us to notify you when a property becomes available. If you provide us with consent, you may withdraw it at any time by contacting us.
We may contact you by telephone shortly after your contact to discuss your inquiry and make sure that it all goes smoothly with your inquiry. We may also offer you other services which relate to the products that you have purchased. If you decide not to purchase a product protection plan on such call we may contact you around the expiry of the manufacturer’s guarantee to see whether this would then be of interests to you.
