Personal Data

‘Personal Data’ means any data from which or through which you can be personally identified or contacted (either directly or together with other information held), for example name, address, email address and telephone numbers. Any Personal Data that we collect from you is treated as confidential to us and other organisations that assist us with the operation of the Landlords National Purchasing Group and, subject to the special provisions for ‘Financial Account Data’ as explained below, to LNPG.

Whilst LNPG will introduce to you product offers from the Partner Network, no Partners or other third parties will be given access to your Personal Data without your consent except to assist a Partner in the creation and maintenance of a Partner Account.

We reserve the right to request sales reports from each of these partners for any accounts created under the LNPG pricing matrix.

If you initiate a complaint or enquiry in relation to LNPG membership and or an account held with a Partner we may need to disclose some Personal Data for example your name and transaction details to the Partner in order to help resolve the issue. In such circumstances your enquiry will be pursued on the basis that you consent to a necessary and sufficient disclosure of your Personal Data to achieve a resolution when you make the complaint or enquiry.

However, we do not deliver this other information to Partners or other third parties in a form in which it can be linked to your Personal Data.
