2. How do we use your Information?

Data Protection law says we must have a reason to use your data. This could be to fulfil a contract we have with you, when we have a legal duty to do so, where it is in our ‘legitimate interest’ or where you give us your consent.

When we have a commercial reason to use your information, this is called a ‘legitimate interest’. If we are going to rely on it as the reason for using your data we must tell you.

Generally, Vivere Living may appoint suppliers, sub-contractors or agents in order to provide you with the service that you have requested and The Company may pass your information on to group companies or to any of Vivere Living approved suppliers, sub-contractors or agents for this purpose. Examples of this service include following up on enquiries or provide further information on Vivere Living products (including by phone, email, SMS, post or fax) and agents engaged to show you around Vivere Living properties. These third parties have access to your personal information in order to perform the functions but may not use it for any other purpose. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We may share your information with group companies. If you ask us to, we will also use your details to send you information about products and services which may be of interest to you. More specifically Vivere Living will use your personal information as follows:

We may store this information supplied by you in order to respond to your request or otherwise reply to the subject of the enquiry or email only.

10. Joint Initiatives

Occasionally we may run a joint initiative with a third party. In those circumstances we may transfer personal data to the named third parties.

11. Sending data outside the European Economic Area (the ‘EEA’)

We will only send your data outside of the EEA to comply with a legal duty or work with our suppliers in providing products and services to you. If we do transfer your personal information outside the EEA to our suppliers, we will make sure that it is protected to the same extent as in the EEA. We will use one of these safeguards:

Transfer it to a non-EEA country with privacy laws that give the same protection as the EEA and have been deemed to provide an adequate level of .protection for personal data by the European Commission.

Put in place a contract the form of which has been approved by the European Commission with the recipient that means they must protect it to the same standards as the EEA.

Transfer it to organisations that are part of Privacy Shield. This is a framework that sets privacy standards for data sent between the US and EU countries. It makes sure those standards are similar to what is used within the EEA.
