Savills is committed to ensuring the privacy of your personal information. This privacy policy does not purport to be a legal interpretation of the provisions of the data protection legislation, but rather to inform you of how Savills proposes to protect your personal information.

Collection and Use of Information

Savills will not collect any personal information about you without your consent. The data which we will collect will be adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to the purpose or purposes for which it is obtained.

We will let you know precisely what we intend doing with your information before collecting it, so that you can decide whether or not to furnish that information to us. Any information which is provided by you will be treated in accordance with data protection legislation, in particular the Data Protection Act, 1988 and any regulations or amending legislation made thereafter.

If at any time after giving us personal information, you decide that you no longer wish us to hold or use this information, or in the case that the information becomes out of date, you are free to notify us, and we will remove or rectify the information as soon as possible. We will also monitor the information we hold on computer to ensure that it remains accurate and up-to-date. This data will not be retained any longer than is necessary for the purpose or purposes for which it was collected.

You agree that in order to assist you, we may disclose personal information relating to you to the following third parties:

In most cases where information is provided to such persons or categories of persons, it will be in summary form where no personal details are revealed, in some instances some personal information such as names and contact details will be disclosed as required to complete transactions, provide clients with information on activities on their properties/developments or for further contact on behalf of the client.

Savills will send you information on similar properties, which it considers will be of interest to you. Additionally, those making enquiries on commercial properties will receive regular updates of our research and experience of the commercial property market. By accepting this privacy policy, you are giving your consent to the use of your personal information in this manner.

In addition, where disclosure is required by or under any enactment or rule of law, Savills may disclose such information without further recourse to you.
