At N&T Properties Ltd. protecting your personal information is a priority. We are committed to providing our customers & clients with exceptional service. Providing this service includes the collection and use of some personal information about our customers & clients.
PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED
When you visit us at our location, call us on the phone, or visit our website, we often will collect personal information. We know your privacy is of the utmost importance and N&T Properties Ltd. does not and will not disclose trade, rent, sell or otherwise transfer personal information for any purpose other than those set out herein.
We will obtain the consent of our clients and customers where required and only handle their personal information in a manner that a reasonable person would consider appropriate in the circumstances. Our privacy commitment includes ensuring the accuracy, confidentiality and security of our clients’ and customers’ personal information and allowing our clients and customers to request access to, and correction of, their personal information. Individuals are given the opportunity to opt-out of receiving email communications from N&T Properties Ltd. by using the unsubscribe mechanisms at the bottom of the emails.

CONSENT
We will obtain client and customer consent to collect, use or disclose personal information (except where, as noted below, we are authorized to do so without consent).
Consent can be provided orally, in writing, electronically, through an authorized representative, or it can be implied where the purpose for collecting using or disclosing the personal information would be considered obvious and the client or customer voluntarily provides personal information for that purpose.
We may collect, use or disclose personal information without the client or customer’s knowledge or consent in the following limited circumstances:
- when the collection, use or disclosure of personal information is permitted or required by law;
- in an emergency that threatens an individual’s life, health, or personal security;
- when the personal information is available from a public source (e.g., a telephone directory);
- when we require legal advice from a lawyer;
- for the purposes of collecting a debt;
- to protect ourselves from fraud; or
- to investigate an anticipated breach of an agreement or a contravention of law.
THIRD PARTY DISCLOSURE
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information.
SECURING PERSONAL INFORMATION
We are committed to ensuring the security of client and customer personal information in order to protect it from unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification or disposal or similar risks. We will use appropriate security measures when destroying personal information of clients and customers. We will continually review and update our security policies and controls as technology changes to ensure ongoing personal information security.
PROVIDING CLIENTS AND CUSTOMERS ACCESS TO PERSONAL INFORMATION
Our clients and customers have a right to access their personal information, subject to limited exceptions, such as solicitor-client privilege, for health and safety concerns, or where disclosure would reveal personal information about another individual. A request to access personal information must be made in writing and provide sufficient detail to identify the personal information being sought. We will make the requested information available within 30 business days, or provide written notice of an extension where additional time is required to fulfill the request. A minimal fee may be charged for providing access to personal information. Where a fee may apply, we will inform the client or customer of the cost and request further direction from the client or customer on whether or not we should proceed with the request. If a request is refused in full or in part, we will notify the client or customer in writing, providing the reasons for refusal and the recourse available to the client or customer.
