Tabernacle Ventures Ltd is a UK-based property investment and professional accommodation business operating initially in Cheltenham and the surrounding areas.

For the purposes of applicable UK data protection legislation, Tabernacle Ventures Ltd acts as the data controller for the personal information it collects through this website, unless we explain otherwise.

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect your name, email address, telephone number, enquiry details and information you choose to provide about a property or potential business relationship.

Property-related enquiries may include a property's general location, number of bedrooms, condition, availability and proposed rental or investment arrangements.

We may also receive correspondence and records of conversations with you, together with limited technical information generated when you use our website, such as IP address, browser information and website activity, where applicable.

Please do not send identity documents, payment-card details, bank credentials or other sensitive information through the general contact form unless we have provided an appropriate and secure process for doing so.

We may use personal information to respond to enquiries, discuss potential property opportunities, assess proposed business relationships, arrange meetings and communicate about potential agreements.

We may also use relevant information to administer contractual relationships, maintain business records, protect our systems, prevent misuse, establish or defend legal claims, and meet applicable legal or regulatory obligations.

We do not need your personal information for every purpose simply because you contact us. We aim to collect only information that is reasonably necessary for the relevant activity.

UK data protection law requires us to identify a lawful basis for each purpose for which we process personal information. Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on the following bases:

• Legitimate interests: responding to relevant business enquiries, assessing property opportunities, maintaining business correspondence and protecting our business, where our interests do not override your rights and freedoms.
• Steps before a contract or performance of a contract: handling information necessary to consider a proposed agreement or carry out an agreement with you.
• Legal obligation: processing information where we need to comply with an applicable legal requirement.
• Consent: where we specifically ask for consent and rely on it for a particular purpose, such as certain optional cookies or marketing communications.

The lawful basis depends on the specific processing activity. We will not treat consent as the basis for every activity, nor use it as a substitute for identifying the correct lawful basis.

We may share relevant information with service providers that support our website, IT systems, business communications, hosting, security or administration, where appropriate and subject to suitable safeguards.

Where necessary, information may also be shared with professional advisers, insurers, relevant authorities or other parties involved in a proposed or existing property transaction, where there is a lawful reason to do so.

We do not sell personal information to third parties. We do not share enquiry information for unrelated third-party marketing without an appropriate lawful basis.

Some of our technology or service providers may process personal information outside the United Kingdom. Where a restricted international transfer occurs, we will ensure that an appropriate transfer mechanism and any required safeguards are in place under applicable data protection law.

You may contact us using the details below if you would like further information about relevant international transfers and safeguards.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, taking account of the nature of the information, our relationship with you, applicable legal requirements and the need to establish or defend legal claims.

For example, an enquiry that does not lead to an agreement may be retained for a defined period to manage follow-up correspondence and maintain appropriate business records. Information relating to an agreement may need to be retained for longer where legal, accounting or contractual obligations apply.

We will establish and follow appropriate retention periods for each category of information and securely delete or anonymise information when it is no longer required.

We aim to use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, alteration or disclosure. These measures may include access controls, appropriate system security and limiting access to people who need the information for legitimate business purposes.

No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. If a personal data breach occurs, we will assess it and take any steps required by applicable law.

Depending on the circumstances and the lawful basis we rely on, you may have the right to:

• Request access to your personal information.
• Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Request erasure of your information where the legal conditions are met.
• Request restriction of processing in certain circumstances.
• Object to processing based on legitimate interests, including the right to object to direct marketing.
• Request a copy of certain information in a portable format where the right to data portability applies.
• Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before consent was withdrawn.

These rights are subject to applicable legal conditions and exceptions. To exercise a right, please contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

Our website may use essential technologies needed for its operation and, if implemented, analytics, preference or other optional cookies.

Where consent is required for non-essential cookies or similar technologies, we will request consent before placing or using them and provide an appropriate way to manage your choices. Essential technologies will be used only as permitted by applicable law.

The specific cookies, providers, purposes and retention periods will depend on the technologies actually deployed on this website. Please consult our cookie information or consent controls, where available, for current details.

Our website may link to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of websites that we do not operate. Please review their privacy information before providing personal information to them.

We do not intend to make decisions about website enquiries solely through automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects on individuals. If this changes, we will update this policy and provide any information required by applicable law.

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our business, website, service providers or applicable legal requirements. The revised version will be published on this page with an updated review date.

If you have questions about this policy or would like to exercise your data protection rights, contact:

You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you believe your personal information has been handled improperly.

Information about making a complaint is available from the Information Commissioner's Office.

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