FOLDEN / INFORMATION
EFFECTIVE / AUGUST 28, 2026
Privacy, without fog.
This policy explains what personal information FOLDEN may collect through this template site, why it is used and the choices available to you.
PLAIN LANGUAGE
Clear purposes, limited sharing, practical choices and a direct contact.
Information collected
We collect information you choose to provide when you request a viewing, submit an inquiry, join an editorial mailing list or correspond with us. This may include your name, email address, telephone number, preferred destinations, property requirements, budget range and the content of your message.
We may also receive limited technical information when you use the site, including device and browser type, approximate location derived from an IP address, pages viewed, referral source and interaction timestamps. We do not intentionally collect special-category data through this website.
Use of information
We use personal information to answer inquiries, arrange introductions or viewings, understand property preferences, deliver requested editorial communications and maintain a record of our correspondence. We also use information to operate, secure and improve the site, prevent misuse and meet professional or legal obligations.
Where permitted, we may use aggregated or de-identified information to understand which destinations, properties and editorial subjects are most useful. We do not use automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
Cookies and analytics
The site may use essential cookies required for security, form delivery and basic functionality. With your consent where required, optional analytics technologies may help us understand visits and improve navigation, content and performance.
You can manage non-essential cookies through the consent controls made available on the site or through your browser settings. Blocking some technologies may affect optional features, but essential access to property and editorial information should remain available.
Legal bases
Depending on the context, we process personal information with your consent, to take steps at your request before entering a contract, to perform a contract, to comply with a legal obligation, or for legitimate interests that are not overridden by your rights.
Our legitimate interests include responding to genuine inquiries, protecting the site, maintaining accurate business records and improving our services. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting prior lawful processing.
Data sharing
We share information only when reasonably necessary with trusted service providers that support hosting, forms, communications, analytics, security and professional administration. They may process information only under appropriate instructions and safeguards.
We may also disclose information to professional advisers, competent authorities or another organization in connection with a merger, acquisition or transfer of business, subject to confidentiality and applicable law. We do not sell personal information.
Data retention
We keep personal information only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including legitimate follow-up, record-keeping, dispute resolution and legal compliance. Retention periods vary by context and sensitivity.
As a working template, general inquiries may be retained for up to 24 months after the last meaningful contact, while contractual and transaction records may be kept for up to seven years or longer where law requires. These periods should be reviewed and adapted by the site owner.
User rights
Subject to local law, you may request access to personal information, correction of inaccurate data, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to certain uses and portability of information you supplied. You may also withdraw consent at any time.
To exercise a right, contact the Privacy Office using the details below. We may need to verify your identity and clarify the request. You may lodge a complaint with the data-protection authority in your place of residence or work.
Data security
We use proportionate administrative, technical and organizational measures intended to protect personal information against accidental loss, unauthorized access, alteration or disclosure. Measures may include restricted access, secure transmission, supplier review, backups and staff confidentiality obligations.
No internet service can guarantee absolute security. If a personal-data incident presents a material risk, we will investigate, mitigate and notify affected individuals or authorities when required by law.
International transfers
Our service providers or professional partners may process information in countries other than your own. Where applicable law requires additional protection, we use recognized safeguards such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses or another valid transfer mechanism.
You may contact the Privacy Office for more information about the safeguards relevant to a particular transfer, subject to reasonable confidentiality limitations.
Policy updates
We may revise this policy to reflect changes in services, technology, law or business practice. The updated version will appear on this page with a revised effective date. Material changes may also be communicated through an appropriate notice.
We encourage periodic review of this page. Continued use of the site after an update does not replace any consent that applicable law specifically requires.
Contact information
Questions, concerns and rights requests may be sent to the FOLDEN Privacy Office at privacy@folden.example or by post to 21 Atlas Square, London W1, United Kingdom.
For a commercial deployment, the template owner should replace these fictional contact details with the legal entity name, registered address, privacy contact and any locally required regulator information before publication.
