Respecting your privacy
Overseas Properties is committed to supporting the National Privacy Principles, which set clear standards for the collection, access, storage and use of personal information, which we obtain as part of our business operations.  Our respect for our customers' right to privacy of their personal information is paramount. We have policies and procedures to ensure that all personal information, no matter how or where it is obtained, is handled sensitively, and securely.

This Privacy Policy sets out:

  • matters of which you should be aware regarding information we may collect about you
  • our policies on the management of personal information, and
  • generally, what sort of information we hold, for what purposes, and how we collect, hold, use and disclose that information.

We appreciate that Internet users want to know how websites will deal with any personal information collected about them. In order for us to gain and maintain your confidence and continued support, we operate our business according to this Privacy Policy. By using this site or by registering with us, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

What personal information do we collect?
You can generally visit this Web Site without telling us who you are or revealing other Personal Information and we will not collect any Personal Information about you except when you knowingly provide it. 
The amount of information we collect about you depends on how you use Overseas Properties and whether you elect to give us any information about yourself by becoming a subscribing to our online services.

We collect personal information such as your name, address, email address, and telephone number details when you register with us. When you join one of our contact lists, we may also collect the details of the types of properties you are interested in possibly purchasing or leasing. We may also collect this type of information if you send us emails or submit queries to us through our site.

What other information do we collect and store? 
While browsing or searching our site, our server may automatically collect navigational data to improve website content and navigation. One way that navigational data is collected is by placing "cookies" in your browser file on your hard drive. Cookies do not capture or track any personal information and cannot identify you as an individual. If you wish, you may elect to not accept cookies on your browser. This should not adversely affect your experience when visiting the site.

How will information collected on this site be used? 
We will use your personal information so that we can efficiently facilitate your use of the site, to provide our services and respond to any enquiries or requests for services that you make. We may also analyse your personal information to identify what types of products and services you may be interested in and to make the information available to you through this website more personalised. We may also use it to send you information about our products and services. If you choose, you can opt-out of receiving such direct communications from us by selecting the "unsubscribe" option on communications we send. Information about the kinds of properties you are interested in may also be combined with other users' information to generate statistics about the types of properties that people are searching for.

Navigational Data 
We may use your navigational information by combining it with the navigational information we collect about other users. These results do not identify any individual and instead give us aggregated results about the usage of the site. By doing this, we are able to improve the look and feel of the site, improve content and navigation of the site, and improve the services we provide for members and users.

Will personal information about me be given to anyone else?
Personal information will not be released to persons or entities outside our organisation without your consent. An exception to this is where Overseas Properties may be required to disclose your personal information to third parties where it is required by law, where we reasonably believe it is necessary for law enforcement purposes or where we believe there is a threat to a person's safety or health.
Our site may from time to time contain links to other websites. We stress that these websites may have a different privacy policy to ours, and you should check their policy on those other sites before you disclose personal information.

How do we keep your information safe? 
We take all reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we hold in our servers is not subject to loss, misuse or unauthorised access or alteration. The types of measures we take vary with the type of information and how it is collected and stored.

Can I access personal information held about me?
If you ever wish to know what, if any, personal information we hold about you, or wish to correct any personal information we may hold about you, you may access and correct such information by contacting us via email at info@overseasproperties.com or by telephone on +33 4 93 75 79 24. We may ask you for some proof of identity before we release this information to protect your privacy.
