PRIVACY POLICY.

1. WHO WE ARE

Finanze Strategy Ltd is the data controller for the purposes of the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Registered address: 124 City Road, London, EC1V 2NX
ICO registration number: ZB532891
Privacy contact: please use the enquiry form on our Contact page.

2. THE SCOPE OF THIS POLICY

This policy applies to personal data processed in connection with our property strategy, sourcing, opportunity assessment, transaction support, referral and related client services. It also applies to personal data collected through our website, contact forms, email, telephone, meetings, professional introductions and third-party sources.

Where a lender, broker, solicitor, valuer, surveyor, accountant or other professional receives your information, that organisation may act as a separate data controller under its own privacy notice.

3. PERSONAL DATA WE MAY COLLECT

Depending on the service and circumstances, we may collect:

• Names, postal addresses, email addresses and telephone numbers.
• Date of birth, identification documents and verification information required for onboarding, anti-money-laundering or know-your-client checks.
• Information about your company, ownership structure, directors, shareholders, representatives or beneficial owners.
• Financial information relevant to a purchase, transaction or funding requirement, including available capital, source of funds, borrowing requirements and financial capacity.
• Property preferences, investment objectives, experience, risk considerations and strategy requirements.
• Property, transaction, title, lease, valuation, rental, works, planning and exit information.
• Communications, instructions, meeting notes, correspondence and records of your dealings with us.
• Information received from agents, lenders, brokers, solicitors, surveyors, valuers, accountants, introducers and other professional advisers.
• Information from public sources such as Companies House, HM Land Registry and other lawful databases.
• Limited website and technical data, including IP address, browser information, device information, usage data and cookies.

4. SPECIAL-CATEGORY AND SENSITIVE INFORMATION

We do not routinely require special-category personal data. Where health, vulnerability, accessibility or other sensitive information is voluntarily provided because it is relevant to communication or support needs, we will use it only where lawful and necessary and will restrict access appropriately.

Where criminal-offence information or enhanced due-diligence information is required by law or a third party involved in a transaction, it will be handled only where there is an appropriate lawful basis and safeguard.

5. HOW WE COLLECT INFORMATION

We may collect information directly from you through website forms, email, telephone, video call, messaging services, meetings, documents and signed agreements. We may also receive information from an authorised representative, introducer, group company, professional adviser, agent, lender, broker, solicitor, public register or another party involved in the proposed transaction.

When you use our website, limited technical information may be collected automatically through cookies, server logs and similar technologies. Further information is set out in our Cookie Policy.

6. HOW WE USE PERSONAL DATA

We may use personal data to:

• Respond to enquiries and assess whether our services are appropriate.
• Onboard clients and carry out identity, ownership, source-of-funds, AML, KYC and due-diligence checks.
• Understand investor objectives, capital, borrowing capacity, experience, preferred strategy, timing and intended outcome.
• Provide property strategy, sourcing, opportunity assessment and transaction-support services.
• Identify, review and introduce property opportunities.
• Communicate with sellers, agents, lenders, brokers, solicitors, valuers, surveyors and other relevant parties.
• Make introductions to Finanze Property, Finanze Capital or independent professionals where appropriate.
• Administer agreements, fees, invoices, complaints, records and ongoing client relationships.
• Prevent fraud, manage risk, maintain security and protect legal rights.
• Comply with legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, insurance and reporting obligations.
• Improve our services, systems, workflows and client communications.
• Send service updates or marketing where permitted by law.

7. LAWFUL BASES FOR PROCESSING

We process personal data only where a lawful basis applies. Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

• Contract: where processing is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into an agreement or to perform an agreement with you.
• Legal obligation: where processing is required to comply with law, regulation, tax, accounting, fraud-prevention or due-diligence requirements.
• Legitimate interests: where processing is necessary to operate, protect and improve our business and services, manage relationships, maintain records, prevent fraud or establish and defend legal claims, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.
• Consent: where consent is required, including for certain marketing or optional uses of information.

8. IF YOU DO NOT PROVIDE INFORMATION

Where information is required to assess an enquiry, perform a contract, complete due diligence or comply with law, failure to provide it may prevent or delay us from acting. We may need to decline or suspend a service if satisfactory information is not available.

9. WHO WE MAY SHARE INFORMATION WITH

Where necessary and proportionate, we may share personal data with:

• Finanze Group companies involved in strategy, brokerage, lending or operational support.
• Lenders, brokers, financial institutions and funding providers.
• Solicitors, surveyors, valuers, accountants, architects, planning consultants and other professional advisers.
• Estate agents, sellers, buyers, introducers and transaction counterparties.
• Technology, cloud-storage, communication, identity-verification, payment and workflow providers.
• Insurers, auditors, legal advisers and other professional service providers.
• Regulators, law-enforcement bodies, courts, public authorities and other persons where disclosure is required or permitted by law.

We do not sell personal data. Where we use a processor, we require it to process information only for the agreed purpose and to maintain appropriate safeguards.

10. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Some technology or service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where personal data is transferred internationally, we will use a lawful transfer mechanism and appropriate safeguards where required.

11. DATA RETENTION

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to meet legal, regulatory, insurance, tax, accounting, dispute-resolution and record-keeping requirements.

Retention periods vary according to the nature of the relationship and information. When personal data is no longer required, it will be securely deleted, anonymised or otherwise disposed of in accordance with our retention practices.

12. DATA SECURITY

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure. Access is limited to people and service providers with a legitimate need to use the information.

No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. If a personal-data breach occurs, we will assess it and make notifications where required by law.

13. MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

We may provide updates about Finanze Strategy or related services where permitted by law. Where consent is required, we will request it. You may opt out or withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of earlier processing.

14. WEBSITE, FORMS AND COOKIES

You may browse much of our website without directly identifying yourself. If you submit an enquiry, use a connected form or choose to send information by email, the information provided will be used to respond to and assess your request.

Technical data and cookies may be used to maintain website operation, remember preferences, understand usage or support third-party functionality. Our Cookie Policy provides further detail.

15. CHANGES OF OWNERSHIP OR BUSINESS STRUCTURE

If all or part of the business is reorganised, sold or transferred, relevant personal data may be transferred to the new owner or controlling party where lawful and necessary. The information should continue to be used for the purpose for which it was originally collected unless you are informed otherwise.

16. YOUR DATA-PROTECTION RIGHTS

Subject to the law and the circumstances, you may have the right to:

• Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Request erasure of personal data in certain circumstances.

• Object to processing based on legitimate interests or to direct marketing.
• Request transfer of information you provided to us where the right to data portability applies.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
• Complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.

We may need to verify your identity before responding to a rights request. Rights may be subject to lawful exemptions, and we will explain our position where a request cannot be fulfilled in full.

17. COMPLAINTS TO THE ICO

You may complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office through its website or by writing to Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.

We would welcome the opportunity to address your concern first, but this does not affect your right to contact the ICO.

18. CONTACT AND CHANGES
