Privacy policy. 

We collect information about you when you fill in our online enquiry form, or correspond with us by e-mail, phone or post. We may also collect information when you voluntarily complete customer surveys, provide feedback and participate in competitions. Website usage information is collected using cookies. Telephone calls to and from We Buy Any Home may be recorded for training and monitoring purposes. The information we typically collect is personal information such as your full name, mailing address, e-mail address, and telephone number. We will also collect details of the property you wish to sell.

We collect information about you to process the sale of your property, manage your account and to contact you about services and offers we think may be of interest to you.

We use your information collected from the website to personalise your repeat visits to our website.

We may share your personal information with trusted service providers, with whom we have a contractual relationship to perform, or assist us in performing, any of the functions required for the sale of your property, ensuring that they have all necessary data protection policies and procedures in place. This includes, but is not limited to SOLD.CO.UK (the trading name of SOLD Property Services Ltd, registered company number 09650244, registered address 30 City Road, London, United Kingdom, EC1Y 2AB) and Premium Property Buyers (the trading name of EMC Finance Ltd, registered company number 07155484, registered address 10 Queen Street Place, London, United Kingdom, EC4R 1AG) so that we may offer you additional services for the sale of your property in the instance that WeBuyAnyHome is not able to progress with the sale.

We may release information to regulatory or law enforcement agencies, if we are required or permitted to do so. Where sensitive personal data is included in the information you send to us, we limit our use and disclosure of such sensitive data other than where permitted by law.

We will only retain your information for as long as is necessary for the purpose or purposes for which we have collected it. The criteria that we use to determine retention periods will be determined by the nature of the data and the purposes for which it is kept. For example, if we receive your information through a competition entry, we will retain your data for as long as is necessary to administer the competition.

We will not directly market to you for longer than three years, unless you consent to receive direct marketing by opting in again before the expiry of that three-year period. In certain circumstances, once we have deleted or anonymised your data, we may need to retain parts of it (for example, your e-mail address), in order to comply with our obligations under GDPR or other legislation, or for fraud detection purposes.

We rely on two of the legal reasons in the data protection regulation to allow us to collect and use your personal information – “consent” and “legitimate interest”.

Consent

We may ask for your consent to contact you now or in the future about our products and services. We will ask you for your name and contact details and give you the opportunity to review this Privacy Policy. You may also be asked for your consent by one of our trusted marketing partners on our behalf.

You do not have to give your consent and you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

Legitimate interest

Sometimes we may use your personal information because we believe you expect us to contact you with information about our products and services or provide you better service, such as:

• When you provide your contact details in response to our advertising and indicate you are requesting information about our products and services.
• When you call us, if we are unavailable and you give your contact details to our messaging service.
• When you give us your personal information to get a quote for our products and services.
• When we need to contact you to clarify information we may have given you.

At any time you can ask us not to contact you.

If you give us your consent or we believe that you expect us to contact you, we may use your personal information to provide you with information about our products and services. We may contact you by telephone, SMS, post or email.

In order to improve our services we sometimes conduct analysis on the information we collect to look for trends in the behaviour of our customers. This allows us to understand what our customers want and need.

You have the right to request a copy of the information that we hold about you. If you would like a copy of some or all of your personal information, please email us at mydata@webuyanyhome.com or write to us at the following address:
