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.

Policy, the practices of this site or dealings with this site,
