Terms of Use & Privacy Policy

1. Your consent

By using our website, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information by our real-estate office as set out in this Privacy Statement. If you do not agree with the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information in this way, please do not use the website or otherwise provide your personal details to our office. Our office will collect, use or disclose your personal information only where we may lawfully and rightfully do so. We usually ask for your consent expressly, but in certain cases your consent will be deemed to have been given based on your actions and conduct. You may be asked to provide additional consent if we need to use your personal information for purposes not covered by this statement. You are not obliged to give such consent, but if you do not, your access to certain features may subsequently be limited. If you give additional consent, the terms of that consent will prevail in the event of any conflict with the terms of this Privacy Statement. Please note, however, that we may process your personal information without your consent where a lawful basis exists, provided that such use will not have harmful consequences for your own rights, freedoms and interests. Any such use will comply with our office's Personal Data Protection Principles as set out above.
