A special note about the sensitive information we hold

AB Living pride ourselves on high service standards to each valued customer. To enable us to do this we may need to ask you to provide us with details of a sensitive nature, such as any medical conditions, their treatment and medication. This may extend to other sensitive information such as racial or ethnic origin, religious or similar beliefs, or criminal record. We may gather this data in order to assist you with arranging any health care services you need, or to provide other customer services such as equal opportunities monitoring.

​

When you share this with us, we usually ask for your explicit consent to process it for these purposes; However, occasionally we may do so without consent where required or permitted to do so by applicable law (e.g. to comply with diversity reporting requirements).

​

We will not pass on your details to anyone else without your permission except in exceptional circumstances. Examples of this might include sharing medical data with the doctor or hospital in cases of serious medical conditions, posing a threat to others, and sharing other serious issues.

​

WHAT DO WE DO WITH YOUR INFORMATION?

 

AB Living processes your information for an identified lawful purpose and most purposes have a legitimate basis. The purpose for processing may be for a statutory or contractual requirement: where this is the case, you have a choice as to whether you provide your information but not doing so may mean that we are unable to provide the information you have requested.

​

Examples of reasons for which we process your information include:

• To help ensure safety and security, as well as to prevent and detect crime

• For fraud prevention; research and analysis, enhancing, modifying or improving our services

​

Confidential client-identifiable information is only shared with other organisations where there is a legal basis for it as follows:

• When there is a Court Order or a statutory duty to share client data

• When there is a statutory power to share client data

• When the client has given his/her explicit consent to the sharing

• When the client has implicitly consented to the sharing for direct care purposes

WHO SEES YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

​

The personal information we collect about you will be used by our employees at AB Living so that they can support you and provide the information and services you request.

​

AB Living may share your information with our trusted partners and suppliers, who we instruct to provide related services to you. These organisations include service providers; estate agents; solicitors; marketing agencies and suppliers; and other representatives.

​

Examples of these third parties include:

• Marketing agencies we may use to send our marketing material if you consent to being contacted by post or email about Scalesceugh Hall & Villas

​

HOW DO WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION AND HOW LONG FOR?

​

We take the security of your personal information very seriously. We have implemented appropriate physical, technical and organisational measures to protect the personal information we have under our control, both on and off-line, from improper access, use, alteration, destruction and loss.

​

Here are some of the ways we protect your personal information:

• If you provide personal information to us online that information is encrypted for protection on transmission to us. Encryption is the process through which sensitive information is scrambled before it is transmitted so that it remains private even if it is intercepted. However, unless your internet browser supports this you will not be able to take advantage of this level of security.

• Offline, your personal information is kept securely on our database and in our sales office, or, where relevant, by our partner companies as described above.

• Our website may contain links to other sites. While we try to link only to sites that share our high standards and respect for privacy, we are not responsible for the content or the privacy practices employed by other sites.

​

We only keep your data for as long as is reasonable and necessary, which may be to fulfil statutory obligations. We ensure that any third parties that process information on our behalf adhere to these standards.

A cookie contains a small amount of data and (typically) a unique identifier.
