Are you GDPR compliant?

Yes. The processes we use in respect of the research and on-going management of our various datasets are fully Data Protection Act, GDPR and PECR compliant. For further details please see our GDPR and Privacy Pages.

How do I best calculate the employee criteria?

OFFICES - Assuming you are marketing a building we would suggest using 1:200 sqft. This might be considered ‘generous’ but remember that potential tenants will want to take enough space to allow for expansion.
INDUSTRIAL – There is really no template one can use because use of the space can be so different. A reasonable guide is to base it on the office content of the unit and apply 1:200 as above.

Why do you need 5 working days to supply data?

Every order gets our 100% attention and to provide the data accuracy our clients expect we need lists to go through our prep process. However, depending on workload at a given time it may be possible to fast-track. If timing is important please mention this at time of ordering.

Can’t I cut down on numbers by excluding remote property contacts?

You certainly can but we’re unsure why you’d want to. The property contact is our USP and the best way of ensuring your message is read is by targeting the local contact and (in the event there is one) the remotely-based property contact.

How do we avoid being burdened by GDPR responsibilities?

No problem, just don’t purchase the data. Rent your data from Waltons for one-time use and allow us to process the mailing or email broadcast for you. If we do not supply the full dataset, (checklists are ok) all GDPR/PECR responsibilities remain with us.

Won’t I be saving money by purchasing the data and re-using as and when?

Not necessarily and you will certainly have the burden of ensuring GDPR & PECR compliance. Dip in and out of the Waltons database as and when you require – it’s easy, all data responsibilities remain with us and you’ll know the data has been validated. Repeat exercises are discounted within certain timescales.

Remote property contacts and branch sites?

Property contacts should always be targeted.  We also include a senior management branch contact if the search area is local to the subject property.
