Privacy & Your Right to Know

When we say ‘we’ or ‘us’ in this document we’re generally referring to those companies which are landlords or service providers to our customers and form part of the Abri Group of Companies, of which Abri Group Limited is the parent company, namely:

• Abri Group Ltd
• The Swaythling Housing Society Ltd
• Radian Developments Ltd
• Yarlington Homes Ltd

These organisations are data controllers and in this Privacy Notice are collectively known as Abri.

Please note that Octavia Housing is now part of the Abri Group but for the time being still has a separate privacy notice, to which its customers should refer, until we publish an integrated document.

We collect and process a range of data about you. Depending on the relationship we have with you, this may include:

• Name,

• Current, previous and forwarding addresses and the types of tenancy you have previously had
• Telephone numbers and email addresses,
• Next of Kin details (for use in emergencies)
• The number and age of people in your household
• Your contact details (email, mobile phone number and landline number)
• Employment details and state benefit entitlements
• Information about your employment status and income levels
• CV, employment and training history and information regarding your digital skills

• Information concerning your obligations to us as our tenant or lessee, including rent payments and arrears, or service charges, and compliance with your tenancy contract or lease agreement
• Information concerning your care needs, welfare and ability to live independently at home
• Particular needs or conditions that our staff should be aware of when visiting your home
• Other agencies involved with your household
• Details of safeguarding risks to children or vulnerable adults (for more information please contact us and ask for a copy of our Anti-Social Behaviour Policy)
• Financial details – bank or building society account details to enable Direct Debit payments; credit ratings
• Information and proof regarding household income, expenditure and debts
• Proof of local connection
• Rent statement from previous landlord (when applying to rent an Abri home)
• Responses to surveys (whether fact based or concerning your opinions)
• Photos (either for use in identifying you as our tenant or occupier; or with your consent for promotional purposes)
• Copies of ID documents
• Whether you are related to an Abri employee
• Your immigration status and whether you have a right to reside in the United Kingdom
• Your previous tenancy history including whether you have been evicted for anti-social behaviour (ASB) or had complaints made about you for ASB
• What household items you have that will enable you to furnish and use your new home comfortably and to meet your basic needs
• Whether you drive a commercial vehicle
• Whether you have pets
• Information about your use of the property let to you, that allows us to determine whether you may be in breach of your tenancy agreement with us
• Information about your ability to use digital communications channels

We also process special categories of information (sometimes called ‘sensitive information’) that enable us to provide services and accommodation that will meet your needs, protect your interests and those of others who live in Abri homes and nearby communities, and also to comply with our legal obligations under Equalities Legislation. These special categories may include:

• Physical or mental health and disability details, any special adaptation needs you may have as a result of these, and your role as a carer for others in the household.
• Whether you are pregnant
• Criminal offences, alleged criminal offences, and unspent convictions, including details regarding domestic abuse, harassment and illegal drug usage
• Equalities data, including ethnic origin, religious belief, sexual orientation and transgender status

We collect the personal data of the children who live in Abri homes so that we know who all our customers are, tenants and occupants alike, and can fulfil our obligations as landlord to everyone who lives there. We rarely collect more information than name and age of these children but to the extent that they may occasionally be mentioned in our customer contact or case records (because of information we have been given by our adult customers) we do also have this information on our records too.

Sometimes we also invite customers to apply to participate in Abri funded community activities or services, or to take advantage of our careers related services. If children in your household wish to take part we will then collect data that is relevant to these activities/services too. This may include: details of their school, education, hobbies and sporting interests, and any medical conditions, disabilities or impairments that may affect their ability to participate, or require us to make appropriate adjustments to improve access.

If it comes to our attention that any children living in our homes are at risk we will also process the data necessary to provide a referral to Children’s Social Services.

The CCTV systems installed across our buildings and sites are for safety and crime prevention only. Clearly visible notices are provided where CCTV is used, except in the rare instances where covert CCTV is in place (directed away from public spaces) for legitimate legal reasons i.e. in cases of ongoing serious ASB, domestic violence or other criminal actions perpetrated against a particular household. The reception area and interview rooms of certain Abri corporate buildings have CCTV and optional voice recording facilities which will only be activated with your knowledge (usually by use of notices).

CCTV images can be shared with lawyers, police and other agencies working to prevent or investigate crime, improve public safety or resolve antisocial behaviour.

CCTV images may also be shared with insurance companies for the purpose of determining liability for damage or harm caused by an incident involving those shown in the footage.

Abri has a CCTV policy which can be accessed on request.

Vehicle dashcams

Abri vehicles are equipped with forward facing dashcams that record movement in front of our vehicles when the motor is turned on. These cameras are intended to help us manage insurance claims and allegations of poor driving made against any Abri colleague driving one of our vehicles.

Some of your information will be accessible by colleagues who need to see that information in order to carry out their roles, and with those parts of our organisation that are involved in

supporting our services to you. Sometimes, we appoint third parties to do work for us which may involve them processing your data on our behalf.

Occasionally we need to share personal information we hold about you with others, including next of kin (particularly in emergencies or when we urgently need to carry out gas safety inspections and are struggling to fix an appointment with you), or with anyone who has been designated by you as authorised to receive information in specific circumstances, or to help you manage your account with us.

Sometimes, we may need to share your information with other organisations. We will only do so when reasonably necessary, and when we have a lawful basis, either because you have consented, or the Data Protection Legislation enables us to do so for another reason, for example because we need to do so in performing our landlord obligations or because it is on our legitimate interests to do so in running our business effectively and efficiently. Occasionally we share your information because we are compelled to do so, for example, because a court has ordered it, or because we have to do so under law.

Where reasonably necessary and lawful, we may share certain information with:

  • it is necessary for bringing or defending a legal claim
  • it is in the substantial public interest, for example in respect of measuring and monitoring performance against equalities standards.

Abri has a Special Category Data Processing Policy that sets out in greater detail how we justify using sensitive data in specific situations. Please contact us at abridataprotecion@abri.co.uk if you would like to know more about this.

The software used in our customer survey feedback analyses sentiment by natural language processing techniques to focus on indicators in use of language to determine how customers feel about our services. By understanding grammatical structures, verbs and nouns and the sequences in response indicator’.

We will always keep your information in accordance with the law and any applicable regulation, and we’ll never keep your information for longer than is reasonably necessary.

Your basic tenancy or lease information (i.e. your name, date of birth and address while a tenant of any landlord within the Abri Group) will be stored permanently against any tenancies you have had with us but once your tenancy has ended, we aim to delete all other information between six and seven years after your tenancy has ended, although certain data will be deleted sooner than this, for example:

• Rent and service charge records will be deleted after seven years from their creation.
• Anti-social behaviour files will be deleted six years from the closure of the case
• Resident consultation surveys are kept for five years from the survey

Recordings of certain telephone conversations are held for a period of time which will not exceed six weeks unless they are deemed abusive or threatening, or if they contain content which is relevant to an ongoing investigation, in which case they will be kept until all relevant investigation actions are complete.

CCTV footage is usually kept for no more than 8 weeks, unless we have been asked by the police, or by others who have an interest in viewing the footage for the purposes of a legal or insurance claim, to keep the footage for longer so that it can potentially be used as evidence in the determination of a claim. In this case we will retain a copy of the footage until the police prosecution , legal or insurance claim has concluded.

Dashcam footage is only retained for 24 hours unless an accident or incident has been logged to which the footage is relevant, in which case it will be kept for a period of time that allows us, our insurers or the police, to conclude any investigation, and/or to resolve any legal claim made by or against us in respect of the accident or incident, plus an additional 6 years.

Back-Ups

All our data is backed up regularly as part of our measures to ensure compliance with your right to have your data kept secure and protected against any threat to its integrity. Data held in our back-ups may exceed the retention period set for the same data when it is part of our live systems. This is because our back-ups are kept for 7 years, no matter what the particular retention period applicable to individual records held within them. However, acting in accordance with ICO advice, we believe that these comply with our legal obligations towards our customers because:

• while held as back-up this data is deemed ‘beyond use’; and
• if the back-up files are ever restored to live systems (eg. in the case of a cyber incident affecting the integrity of our live records) we will undertake sanitization of the restored data to delete from it any data which is either beyond its retention period, or should be deleted because it formed part of a customer record that was erased under the customer’s right of erasure (see below).

We take the security of your data seriously, and we have internal policies, controls (electronic, physical and managerial) and procedures in place to ensure that your data is not lost, accidentally destroyed, misused or disclosed unlawfully to others, and is only accessed by our colleagues in the proper performance of their duties. These security measures include:

• Limiting access to our building to those we believe are entitled to be there (by the use of key card passes and ID Badges)
• Implementing access controls to our technology and devices, such as firewalls, ID verification, and encryption.
• Implementing strict procedures which limit access to your data only to those staff or contractors who need to see it in order to carry out their jobs and/or deliver services to you.
• Never asking you directly for your passwords.

If you are registered with our customer portal, you are the owner of your username and password and must not share this information with anybody else. We also advise you to use a different complex password for any online service you use for your own protection.

It may sometimes be necessary to transfer personal information outside the UK as a result of our requirements for data hosting services. If we do this your personal information, will continue to be subject to appropriate safeguards as set out in Data Protection Legislation.

We will sometimes provide you with links to other websites, but these websites are not under our control. We will not be liable to you for any issues arising in connection with their use of your information, the website content or the services offered to you by these websites. Therefore, we would advise you to consult the privacy policy and terms and conditions on each website to see how they may process your information.

In addition, when using other digital platforms such as Facebook and social networks, please remember it is your responsibility to set appropriate settings on your accounts so you are comfortable with how your information is used and shared on them.

As a customer and data subject under data protection law, you have certain rights as summarised below. In general we will treat any requests to action these rights with respect and with due regard to the need to carry them out without delay, and within a 30 day period from the request.

Your request can be submitted through our customer portals or it can be emailed to abridataprotection@abri.co.uk. To find out how else you can contact us, please visit our Contact Us page.

Access to your personal information

You have the right to a copy of the personal information that we hold about you. This is often called a Subject Access Request (SAR), and there are limits to this right, such as where the disclosure of the information would unreasonably impact the data protection rights of a third party.

Before providing personal information to you or another person on your behalf, we may ask for proof of identity and information about your interactions with us so that we can locate your personal information.

Correction of your personal information

If any of the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate or out of date, you can request that it be corrected or updated. Or you can amend it yourself by logging in to the customer portal and editing you records.

We rely on you and any third parties from which we source information about you to provide information that is correct, and to inform us as soon as possible of any changes that affect the accuracy of that information. It is particularly important that the contact details we have for you, and anyone that you have consented to us sharing information with about you, remain up to date.

Right to object to our processing of your data

If we rely on our legitimate interests as a basis for processing (which includes sharing) your personal data, you have the right to object to our continued use of that information, unless we can show that there is a compelling reason for the processing to continue or we are bringing or defending a legal claim. For instance you may decide to object to our use of your data to issue periodic surveys or newsletters. Unless the survey is one we need to send to you by law, we will then apply an ‘opt-out’ to your account in respect of future surveys, or newsletters, in accordance with your wishes.

You also have a right to object to any profiling undertaken for which we use your personal data, or against any automated decisions taken on the basis of such profiling. We will consider such objections in light of the law and our own business rationale for doing so and will inform you of our decision whether to accept the objection or not.

Right to erasure of your personal information

You have the right to ask us to erase your personal information if:

• there is no longer a lawful reason for us to use it (including when you have withdrawn consent);
• our original purpose in processing that data no longer exists, and no other purpose has replaced it;
• you have objected to our processing of the information and there is no overriding legitimate interest for us to continue the processing; or
• the personal information has to be erased in order to comply with a legal obligation

We can refuse to erase your personal information in certain circumstances, including, when:

• we have an overriding legitimate interest in continuing to process it;
• we have to comply with a legal obligation that requires us to continue processing that information
• we need to do so as part of a task we are carrying out in the public interest; or
• we need the information as part of a legal claim that we are bringing or defending

If we proceed with an erasure request, having considered the factors set out above, we will delete the data from our live-systems and from any hard-copy filing systems we use without delay. If we have appointed data processors to handle any of your data that needs to be deleted, we will contact them and ensure that they too delete the affected data. In respect of data held on our back-ups, please see the section above.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive and reuse your personal information which you have provided to us, for your own purposes across different services. This applies where the processing is based on your consent or for the performance of a contract and when processing is carried out by automated means.

Right to restrict processing

You can tell us that you do not wish us to process certain personal information related to you for example if you believe it is not accurate, or you feel it is unlawful or being used for a purpose different to what you were told we would use it for. You can also tell us that you do not wish us to process information relevant to your ethnic origin, sexuality, health or disabilities or religious beliefs for the purpose of monitoring equality of opportunity or treatment.

Consent

In some circumstances, your consent is the legal basis for us using your information.

Consent must be freely given by you for a specific purpose; we will always clearly explain why we need the information we have asked you for. Consent must be clearly given; so, we never assume your consent, or use pre-ticked boxes to communicate consent.

You have the right to change your mind at any time and withdraw your consent. The consequence might be that we can’t do certain things for you. Consent can be withdrawn using our customer portal , by emailing abridataprotection@abri.co.uk or by writing to us at the address given below.

We always ask for the consent of a parent when we wish to share the data of any child (under 16) based on the provision of consent.

In 2022 we notified two data breaches to the ICO.

In 2022 there were no complaints made to the ICO by our customers that have been upheld.
