Privacy notice
Last updated: February 2026.
We collect very little personal data, and this notice accounts for all of it. It covers this website and any enquiry you make to us by telephone, email or post.
Who is responsible
Clifton Properties (Yorkshire) Limited — company number 02194746, registered in England and Wales, registered office 59 Commercial Street, Batley, WF17 5EP — decides how and why the personal data described here is processed, and is therefore the controller of it. Contact us at [email protected].
What is collected
Only what is needed to deal with you:
- Information you give us when you contact us — typically a name, a way to reply, and the substance of the enquiry.
- The correspondence itself, including notes of calls where we took them.
- Standard access logs kept by our web host: IP address, browser type, pages requested.
No accounts, no payments through this site, and no special category data sought.
What we do with it
| Purpose | Lawful basis |
|---|---|
| Responding to you and continuing the conversation | Legitimate interests — you contacted us and expect a reply |
| Putting a contract in place and performing it | Contract, or pre-contractual steps taken at your request |
| Record-keeping across transactions and correspondence | Legitimate interests — administration of the business, and legal claims |
| Statutory accounting and tax requirements | Legal obligation |
| Optional analytics cookies, should we introduce them | Consent — freely given and freely withdrawn |
Who else sees it
Nobody, beyond the professional advisers and suppliers who process it on our behalf under contract (accountants, solicitors, web host, email provider), and any disclosure the law compels. We do not sell data or share it for other people's marketing.
How long we keep it
Not indefinitely. An enquiry that comes to nothing is deleted within two years. Records of a contract or transaction are retained for twelve years from completion, because that is the limitation period for obligations under a deed. Accounting records are held for a minimum of six years, as required by the Companies Act 2006. Our host cycles its server logs after a short period.
Everything is stored in the UK or the EEA; any transfer beyond that relies on the safeguards permitted by UK law.
Your rights over your data
Access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability all apply here in the circumstances the UK GDPR sets out, as does the right to be informed — which this notice exists to satisfy. Where processing rests on consent, you can withdraw it at any time, with no effect on what was done before.
Write to [email protected]. One month is our limit for replying, and there is no fee for a reasonable request.
Raising a concern
Come to us first if you can; we would rather hear it. Either way you have the right to take it to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint, or on 0303 123 1113.
Revisions
