Advisory:- If you click on a link found on our websites or on any other website, you should always look at the location bar within your browser to determine whether you have been linked to a different website. This Policy, and our responsibility, is limited to our own information collection practices. We are not responsible for, and cannot always ensure, the information collection practices or privacy policies of other websites maintained by third parties or our service providers where you submit your personal information directly to such websites. In addition, we cannot ensure the content of the websites maintained by these third parties or our service providers, even if accessible using a link from our websites. We urge you to read the privacy and security policies of any external websites before providing any personal information while accessing those websites.
Security
Because the security of your personal information is important to us, Secured Socket Layer (“SSL”) software is used on our booking platform ‘Elina’ to encrypt the personal information that you provide to us. If your browser is SSL enabled (which most are), your transmission of personal information to this platform online will be encrypted. You can verify whether your personal information is transmitted using SSL encryption by confirming the symbol of a closed lock or solid key on the bottom bar of your browser window. You can also verify that your personal information will be encrypted using SSL encryption by making sure that the prefix for the web address listed for that page has changed from “http” to “https”. If you do not see the appropriate symbol and the “https” prefix, you should not assume that the personal information that you are being asked to provide will be encrypted prior to transmission.
The personal information we collect from you online is stored by us and/or our service providers on databases protected through a combination of physical and electronic access controls, firewall technology and other reasonable security measures. Nevertheless, such security measures cannot prevent all loss, misuse or alteration of personal information and we are not responsible for any damages or liabilities relating to any such incidents fully permitted by law.
Where required under law, we will notify you of any such loss, misuse or alteration of personal information that may affect you so that you can take the appropriate actions for the due protection of your rights.
Legal basis for processing
What is the legal basis of our data processing?
Under data protection legislation we are only permitted to use your personal information if we have a legal basis for doing so. We rely on the following legal bases to use your information;
Where we need information to perform the contract we have with you or to provide a service for you;
Where we are complying with a legal obligation;
Where processing is required to carry out activities which are in Find London Apartments’ legitimate interests (or those of a third party) to do so and provided that your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests, including:
Processing that is needed for us to promote our business, brands and products and measure the reach and effectiveness of our campaigns. This could include sending marketing information from time to time after you have engaged us to provide services or received services from us which may be similar and of interest to you or where you have expressly indicated that you would like to receive such information. You will always have a transparent right to opt out of receiving this information at any time.

Where we store your Personal Data

Data is unlikely to be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers, but where this is identified as having to take place for the fulfilment of your booking, provision of support services, we will always make sure that your data is secure and subject to the same protection as if it was being processed in the European Economic Area. We would always advise you where this took place.
By submitting your personal data, you agree to allow us to manage this transfer, storing or processing. We will of course take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.
All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. When the connection is encrypted, look for the “https://”; in the address bar of your browser. At the bottom right corner of the screen, you should also see a symbol that confirms that the connection is encrypted. If you use Internet Explorer icon, the icon is a small padlock. Other browsers may display different symbols to signify encryption.

Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
