If you send us information for publication which includes something you judge to be personal data, then you are giving us your permission to publish it. We will remove data following a request by you sent by e-mail to admin@jla.je within 30 days. Before that time, we will consider requests to remove personal data, based on the individual circumstances of the case.

Data Retention
We will hold your personal data for as long as you are a paid up member of the Jersey Landlords Association or an Associate of third party provider thereto, and for as long afterwards as is necessary to comply with our legal obligations.

You may request an inventory of data we hold for you, and you may request for it to be removed so long as we are not legally obliged to keep it.
