Privacy Policy
- Introduction
Macpherson Property is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy.
Our privacy policy, together with our terms of use, which applies to this website, (which is owned and operated by Macpherson Property), explains how the information that is collected from you is used and the procedures that exist to safeguard your privacy.
When you use this site, and have not advised us to the contrary, you are agreeing that we may use your personal information for the purposes set out in this statement.
However, this site is structured so that, in general you can visit www.macphersonproperty.co.uk without revealing any personal information. The internet is not a secure medium and it is Macpherson Property's policy to protect personal information and prevent access by third parties and we have internal procedures to ensure this. If you do choose to provide us with any personal or identifiable information, you can be assured it will only be used in accordance with our privacy policy.
For the purposes of the Data Protection Act 1998, the data controller is Macpherson Property, Abbotsknowe, Huntly Road, Melrose, Scottish Borders TD6 9SB. - Information we may collect from you
In order to receive certain information and to use certain services on this site you will be asked to provide personal information about yourself such as your name, address and email address. When you provide this information to us you consent to our use of that information in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy. This information will be used to provide you with the services that you have requested, which will include your application for details and the provision of updates on properties that you have requested, as well as providing you with news and information about any new properties, products and services. In addition our employees will usually follow up, either by telephone, email or mail with people who have requested information from this site. If you no longer want to receive such information just let us know by emailing us at enquiries@macphersonproperty.co.uk and we will stop sending it. - IP addresses and cookies
Some websites use 'cookies', which are text only strings of information that the website you are visiting transfers to the cookie file of the browser on your computer. Their purpose is to identify users and to enhance the user's experience by customising web pages. A cookie will usually contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, an expiry date for the cookie, and a value, which is usually a random generated unique number. However, this website does not use cookies.
This site logs your Internet Protocol (IP) address. All computers that are linked to the Internet have an IP address (a sequence of numbers and dots that identifies it so that it can receive internet traffic it requests, such as web pages). An IP address does not in itself provide identifiable personal information. The recording of IP addresses is only carried out by us in order to collate statistical data about our users' browsing actions and patterns. - Where we store your personal data
We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your personal information is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure.
The web and email servers are currently situated in the U.S.A, which means that some data, information and various files are stored on computers/servers outside the EU.
Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our site. Any transmission is at your own risk.
Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
- Storage of Personal Information
We will keep your personal information for as long as we need it to provide our properties, products and/or services to you. We will try to keep personal information which we hold about you up to date, but if you think that we are holding information which is inaccurate or you are otherwise unhappy about our use of your personal information then please send us an email to enquiries@macphersonproperty.co.uk to let us know. - Disclosure of your information
We will not sell, distribute or lease the personal information that we collect from you. We use the personal information which we collect from you to help us provide our properties, products and/or services to you. We will not share or transfer any personal information with any other third party unless we are required to do so by law. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction. - Your rights
You are entitled under the Data Protection Act 1998 to a copy of the personal information that we hold about you if you apply to us in writing. There may be a small administration charge for this request. You also have the right to ask us not to process your personal information for marketing purposes.
