Your personal data – what is it?

Personal data relates to a living individual who can be identified from that data. Identification can be by the information alone or in conjunction with any other information in the data controller’s possession or likely to come into such possession. The processing of personal data is governed by the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”).

Who are we?

Your Space Cambridge Ltd, trading as Cambridge Apartments, (Company No: 6799740), is the data controller (contact details below). This means it decides how your personal data is processed and for what purposes.

How do we process your personal data?

Cambridge Apartments complies with its obligations under the “GDPR” by keeping personal data up to date; by storing and destroying it securely; by not collecting or retaining excessive amounts of data; by protecting personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorised access and disclosure and by ensuring that appropriate technical measures are in place to protect personal data.

We use your personal data for the following purposes:–

  • To enable us to provide the service of accommodation;
  • To manage our employees;
  • To maintain our own accounts and records;
  • To inform you of news and special offers at Cambridge Apartments

What is the legal basis for processing your personal data?

Tenants and Enquirers

By giving us your data, you are deemed to have given us permission to use it for the purposes of Legitimate Interests and in the fulfilment of our accommodation service Contract. For example; responding to your enquiry for accommodation; confirming a contract and sending you an invoice; sending you arrival details; responding and updating you on any issues during your stay; and asking about your experience after departure.

In addition, explicit Consent will be sought for the secondary purpose of keeping you informed about events in Cambridge, and news and special offers relating to our services. You do not need to give your consent for this secondary purpose in order to access our primary accommodation service.

Employees

Processing is necessary under Contract and Legal Obligations for carrying out duties under employment, social security or social protection law.

Suppliers

Processing is necessary under Contract and Legal Obligations. i.e. to make payments and provide documentation to government officials.

Marketing

We also hold data relating to those holding positions in companies that we believe might be interested in our service under Legitimate Interests. Processing is justified under Legitimate Interest.

Sharing your personal data

Your personal data will be treated as strictly confidential and will only be shared with members of the Cambridge Apartments team in order to carry out the provision of our service (temporary accommodation). No personal data will be passed to a third party excepting in support of the provision of our service. For example, the provision of the e-concierge tablet in your apartment or for asking you for post stay feedback. However, all third parties are themselves signed up to GDPR and we would be happy to share their details with you on request. Where you exercise any of your rights under GDPR (see Your Rights below) we will communicate all such requests to the third parties and require them to take the appropriate action.

How long do we keep your personal data?

We keep data relating to:-

(a) tenancy enquiries until the departure date of the enquiry,

(b) tenancy confirmations until 3 years after the departure date,

(c) mailing lists until consent is withdrawn or emails terminally fail,

(d) employees until 3 months following termination date, except where required to do so for longer by the government,

(e) local suppliers of goods and services for seven years, or as required by the government, and

(f) employees in key positions in Cambridgeshire companies until we are aware that they no longer hold that position.
