Where We Store Your Personal Data

The data we collect is stored on information technology systems owned and run by or on behalf of The Crown Estate or on systems run by those businesses processing it on our behalf. All information you provide to us is stored on secure servers. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure and although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted over the Internet to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use all necessary procedures and security measures to try to prevent unauthorised access, loss, disclosure or amendment.

We use information about you in the following ways:

• To provide you with information on products, services offers and events provided by us or our retail tenants that you request or which we feel may interest you where you have consented to be contacted for such purposes;
• To notify you about changes to our service;
• To carry out obligations arising from contracts, leases or agreements entered into between you and The Crown Estate;
• To perform surveys and analysis with the aim of improving the services we provide;
• To ensure that your visit to our site is safe and secure.
• To manage your tenancy or employment.

We may give your personal data to third parties where:

• It is necessary for them to provide you with services on our behalf;
• They provide profiling of our customer base so we can understand our customers better;
• We sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective buyer or seller of such business or assets insofar as they relate to them;
• We are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation or in order to enforce agreements or contracts or to protect our rights, our property, or the safety of our customers or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud prevention and credit risk reduction.

We will not share your personal data with a third party for the purposes of direct marketing.
