As part of OCP Asset Management B.V., LIV Residential is the operator of the LIV Residential platform and the LIV Residential app. LIV Residential offers the LIV Residential platform, an online platform where house hunters are put in touch with providers of rental properties via the website www.livresidential.nl. In addition, LIV Residential offers the LIV Residential app. This is the mobile community application that enables tenants, to – among other things, though without limitation – communicate with each other, and submit repair requests with regard to the property to the landlord, which is made available by LIV Residential or its supplier(s). As we put house hunters in touch with providers of rental properties, and enable tenants to communicate with each other on a daily basis, we constantly process personal data. Your privacy is of great importance to LIV Residential. Therefore, we adhere to the General Data Processing Regulation (GDPR).
In processing personal data, we comply with privacy legislation. This means that we:
If you use the LIV Residential platform and the LIV Residential app, we obtain various personal data from you. For each purpose, we will indicate which data we obtain from you, for what purpose we process them and for how long they will be retained. If you have any questions, or would like to know exactly which data we store, please contact LIV Residential. The contact details are at the bottom of this privacy and cookie statement.
Our platform enables you to create an account (performance of the agreement), after which you can make use of our services. Alternatively, you can sign up using your Facebook or Google account. If you want to know what these parties do with your personal data, please read the privacy statements of the relevant platforms.
To that end, we will process the following personal data:
We will retain your personal data until you cancel your account, or for a maximum of one year after you last logged in to your account. In such case, we will assume that you no longer wish to make use of our services. We retain some data for longer if we are required to do so by law (e.g. in connection with the tax-related 7-year retention obligation).
Our platform enables you to request to view a rental property (performance of the agreement). We will process this application as soon as possible. The viewing will be conducted by LIV Residential itself. In order to qualify for a LIV Residential rental property, you must meet the rental requirements. To prove this, you need to provide documents via the online application Docusign made available by LIV Residential. The formation and signature of a rental agreement takes place via the online application Docusign or the online application of Evidos (via ondertekenen.nl).
To that end, we will process the following personal data:
We keep your personal data for two years after the termination of the rental agreement. We retain some data for longer if we are required to do so by law (for example, because of the tax-related 7-year retention obligation).
When you send an email message, make use of our contact form, request a viewing, or contact us by telephone or otherwise, you are responding to our offer to enter into a contract with us (performance of the agreement).
As a result, we will process the following personal data:
We will retain your personal data for as long as is necessary for this contact or for up to one year after we last had contact with you, as we want to be sure that we have handled your question or complaint properly.
