8. International Data Transfers

Your personal data may be transferred outside the United Kingdom in the following circumstances:

HubSpot (EU1 Region)

Your CRM data is hosted on HubSpot's EU1 infrastructure within the European Union. The EU has been granted an adequacy decision by the UK Government under the UK GDPR, meaning EU data protection standards are considered equivalent to UK standards. No additional safeguards are required for this transfer.

Google Fonts (United States)

When loading web fonts, your IP address is transmitted to Google servers, which may be located in the United States. This transfer is protected by Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as approved by the UK Information Commissioner's Office, and Google's participation in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

Cloudflare (Global CDN)

Cloudflare operates a global content delivery network. When loading the Tailwind CSS framework, your request may be served from the nearest Cloudflare edge server, which could be located outside the UK.

9. Your Rights Under UK GDPR

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Right of Access

You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We will respond within one calendar month of receiving your request.

Right to Rectification

You have the right to request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.

Right to Erasure

You have the right to request deletion of your personal data where there is no compelling reason for its continued processing. This is also known as the "right to be forgotten."

Right to Restriction

You have the right to request that we restrict processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, for example while we verify the accuracy of data you have challenged.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit that data to another controller.

Right to Object

You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interest or direct marketing. If you object, we will stop processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at:

Email: info@propertyflow.uk

Email: info@propertyflow.uk

We will respond to your request within one calendar month. In complex cases, we may extend this by a further two months, but we will notify you of any extension within the first month.

There is no fee to exercise your rights. However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive.

10. Data Security

We take the security of your personal data seriously and implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

  • Encryption in transit: All data transmitted between your browser and our website is encrypted using HTTPS/TLS
  • Secure CRM: HubSpot (our CRM provider) maintains SOC 2 Type II certification, ISO 27001 compliance, and encrypts data at rest and in transit
  • Access controls: Access to personal data is restricted to authorised PropertyFlow staff on a need-to-know basis
  • Regular review: We regularly review our data processing activities and security measures to ensure ongoing compliance

While we take all reasonable precautions, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. If you become aware of any security breach affecting your data, please contact us immediately.

11. Automated Decision-Making

Under Article 22 of the UK GDPR, you have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing that produces legal effects or similarly significant effects on you.

PropertyFlow uses automated systems in the following areas:

  • Cognito Pricing Engine: Our AI-powered pricing tool analyses market data, demand patterns, competitor rates, and seasonal trends to recommend nightly rates for short-term let properties. These recommendations are advisory and are reviewed and approved by PropertyFlow staff before being applied. No pricing decision is made solely by automated means without human oversight.
  • Compliance Tracking: Our compliance dashboard uses automated reminders and deadline tracking for licence renewals, safety certificates, and regulatory requirements. These are informational alerts, not decisions that produce legal effects.

None of these automated processes make decisions that produce legal effects or similarly significant effects on individuals without human involvement. If you have concerns about how automated tools are used in relation to your data, please contact us at info@propertyflow.uk.

12. Complaints

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your personal data, you have the right to complain to the UK's supervisory authority for data protection:

Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)

Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF

Helpline: 0303 123 1113

Website: ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint

We would appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns before you approach the ICO. Please contact us first at info@propertyflow.uk so we can try to resolve the matter directly.

  • Update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page
  • Notify existing contacts via email where the change materially affects how their data is processed
  • Publish the updated policy on this page
