Visitors to our website

When someone visits: www.magentaliving.org.uk

We collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. We collect this information in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting.

 

We will not associate any data gathered from this site with any personally identifying information from any source. If we do want to collect personally identifiable information through our website, we will be up front about this. We will make it clear when we collect personal information and will explain what we intend to do with it.

 

What Data do we collect and how will we use it ?

If you request a service from Magenta Living it is pertinent that the information is retained so that we can provide you a service that you require.

The information we have about our website users helps us improve our service to you. Here are the types of information we gather:

 

Information you give us:

You have the ability to ‘Report antisocial behaviour’ and ‘Report a Repair’ through the Magenta Living website amongst other general comment/feedback options facilitated by online forms.

The information for both primary areas of the website referred above notifies Magenta Living via email and is passed to and processed by the relevant staff accordingly, whereas we store the ‘Make a Comment or Complaints’ text submitted in our tenant database only if they are required.

Automatic information: Like many websites, we use ‘cookies’, although these cookies store non-personal information about you. See ‘Cookies’ section below for more details.

 

People who make a complaint to us

When we receive a complaint online from a person, we make up a file on an internal database containing the details of the complaint. This normally contains the identity of the complainant and any other individuals involved in the complaint.

We will only use the personal information we collect to process the complaint and to check on the level of service we provide. We do compile and publish statistics showing information like the number of complaints we receive, but not in a form which identifies anyone.

Similarly, where enquiries are submitted to us we will only use the information supplied to us to deal with the enquiry and any subsequent issues and to check on the level of service we provide.

Job applicants, current and former Magenta Living employees

When individuals apply to work at Magenta Living, we will only use the information supplied to us to process the application and to monitor recruitment statistics. Where we need to disclose information to a third party, for example, to take up a reference, we will not do so without informing the individual beforehand unless the disclosure is required by law.

Personal information about unsuccessful candidates will be held for 7 months after the recruitment exercise has been completed. It will then be destroyed or deleted. We retain de-personalised statistical information about applicants to help inform our recruitment activities, but no individuals are identifiable from that data.

Our legal basis for processing this information is that it is required to assess an application and may be required to take steps to enter into a contract of employment.

Once a person has taken up employment with Magenta Living we will provide them with privacy information relating to employees.
