We also have data use policies and training in place to ensure all our staff are responsible with your data and understand their obligation to protect it.


5- How long we keep information


How long we keep information we collect about you depends on the type of information and the type of interaction you have had with Avanti Apartments Ltd, as specified by the retention periods below. Prior to or at the point of the retention period being met, we will either delete or anonymise your information as applicable. Where more than one of the below categories applies to a piece of data, the longest retention period shall be enforced.

Client contracts – If you’re an employee of a corporate client that specifies in our contract that data must be retained for reporting purposes on their behalf for a particular period, we will comply with that length of time where possible and where they have confirmed their responsibility as data controller in that regards.


Job Applicant details – CVs, covering letters, application forms and interview notes for unsuccessful candidates will be retained for no longer than 1 year.
