Data Protection Act
The Data Protection Act 1998 (the “DPA”) sets out standards in
relation to the processing of “personal data” (ie information about
you). One of these standards is the requirement for Daniel Gath Homes
Limited (as “data controller”) to inform you how your personal data will
be held and used.
We only use your personal data for the purpose
of responding to your queries made through our website
www.danielgathhomes.co.uk or by telephone.
However, we may
disclose your personal data to other companies within the Daniel Gath
Homes Group in order to respond fully to your queries.
