This Privacy Policy governs each website, mobile site, application, and/or other service, regardless of how distributed, transmitted, or published, (each, a “Service”) by HEMI & PARTNERS and any of its subsidiaries and/or affiliates (“we,” “us,” or “our”) that links to this Privacy Policy, which is binding on all those who access, visit and/or use HEMI & PARTNERS services, whether acting as an individual or on behalf of a entity (collectively, “you” or “your”).

This policy is available to help you understand the handling of your information while you’re visiting our website, our applications and as a subscriber of our mailing lists. We also explain our approach to achieving GDPR-compliance, both for HEMI & PARTNERS and for you.
HOW WE COLLECT YOUR INFORMATION
Personal information is information about you that is personally identifiable like your name, address, email address, or phone number, that is not otherwise publicly available. HEMI & PARTNERS collects personal information in a variety of ways, including when you subscribe to HEMI & PARTNERS newsletters and similar email notifications; when you visit the www.hemi-partners.com website or the websites of our subsidiary companies, or when you are registered as a property owner, property manager or agency partner in our system.
When you subscribe to our mailing lists via our website, we ask for and collect information such as, but not limited to; your name and email address. In some cases we may also ask for your address and additional information about you or your business, such as, but not limited to company registration number, staff member details and financial information.
Once you register with HEMI & PARTNERS and sign in to our offer or services, you are no longer anonymous to us.
TRANSPARENCY AND CHOICE
People have different privacy concerns. Our aim is to be as clear as possible about what information we collect so that you can make your own choices about how we use it.
For example:
Wherever it is optional to collect additional information about you, we transparently inform you about what information we need, why we ask for it and we require your consent to process such information. When you change your mind, there is always a convenient way how to let us know.
When visiting the HEMI & PARTNERS website, you may be given the opportunity to choose whether you accept our Cookie settings and therefore decide whether you agree to be on our radar when it comes to ads or behaviour analytics or not.

SECURING YOUR DATA
We follow accepted industry standards to protect personal information you have provided.
We work hard to protect HEMI & PARTNERS and our users from unauthorised access to or unauthorised alteration, disclosure or destruction of information we hold.

We encrypt our services using SSL, in transit and at rest as well.
We review our information collection, storage and processing practices, including physical security measures, to guard against unauthorised access to systems.
We restrict access to personal information to those of HEMI & PARTNERS staff, and third parties who need to know that information in order to process it for us, and who are subject to strict contractual confidentiality obligations and may be disciplined or terminated if they fail to meet these obligations.
However, no method of electronic storage can ever be 100% secure. Therefore we are not in a position to guarantee the absolute security of your information.
HOW WE TRANSFER AND STORE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
In order to protect your information, we take care where possible to work with subcontractors and service providers who we believe maintain an acceptable standard of data security compliance.
We store personal information on secure servers that are managed by us and our service providers.

OUR COMMITMENT
We’re committed to our users enjoying HEMI & PARTNERS to help them understand and prepare for the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). The GDPR is the most comprehensive EU data privacy law in decades and will come into effect on May 25, 2018.
As well as strengthening and unifying user data privacy across the EU, it also puts new or additional obligations upon anyone that handles EU citizens’ personal data, regardless of where they are located.
Below, we’ll explain our approach to achieving GDPR-compliance, both for ourselves and for our Customers.
The GDPR’s updated requirements are significant and our team is working hard to bring HEMI & PARTNERS service offerings and contractual commitments in line so Customers can prepare themselves before May 25, 2018. Measures taken to achieve this include:
Investments into our systems. We have implemented improvements to our infrastructure, to fulfil all the requirements and obligations connected to continuous security monitoring, data breaches and security incident management.
Policies. We have already updated our Privacy Policy, however we will continually work on our internal policies and practices to ensure that we are aligned with the GDPR requirements.
We’ll also continue to monitor the guidance around GDPR compliance from privacy-related regulatory bodies, and will adjust our plans accordingly if it changes.
