Who we are

Dickens Yard Living is an independent guide to Dickens Yard, Ealing W5. It is operated by Hawks Estate Agents (Hawks Estate Agency Limited, registered in England and Wales, company no. 14767429), 34 High Street, Sunninghill, Ascot, Berkshire SL5 9NE. We are the controller of the personal information you give us through this website, and we are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (registration number ZB545013). The guide is not affiliated with or endorsed by St George or the Berkeley Group.

What we collect

When you fill in a form we collect the details you enter: your name, email address and phone number, what you are looking for (for example renting or buying, bedrooms, budget and move date), details of an apartment you own, and your preferred language.

Why we use it

We do this because you asked us to and gave your consent on the form. You can withdraw your consent at any time by emailing us, and we will stop contacting you.

Do you have to give us your details?

No. Giving us your details is voluntary, but without a name and a way to contact you we cannot tell you about apartments or arrange a valuation.

Who we share it with

Your details are held by Hawks Estate Agents in our property management system and email. We do not sell your information. We only share it with service providers who help us run our business (such as our software and hosting providers), or where the law requires us to.

Where it is stored

This website is hosted by IONOS in the European Union, which the UK recognises as giving an adequate level of protection. Fonts are supplied by Google, which may process your device's IP address in the United States under the UK-US data bridge. Otherwise your details are held in the UK.

How long we keep it

If you only make an enquiry, we keep your details for as long as you want to hear from us, and delete them once we have had no contact with you for 3 years. If you go on to buy, sell, rent or let a property through us, we keep the records for 6 years after that transaction or tenancy ends, as we are required to for legal, tax and anti-money laundering purposes.

Automated decisions

We do not make decisions about you by automated means, and we do not use your details for profiling.

Your rights

You can ask to see the information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, ask us to restrict how we use it, object to how we use it, or ask for a copy to take to another organisation. To do any of these, email hello@dickensyard.com or call 0203 002 6769. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
