If you would like more specific information, here is an in-depth view of the information we collect.

- Personal information you give to us

OliveHomes.com collects and uses information that you provide to us. When you make an enquiry, you are (as a minimum) asked for your name and email address. If you need to get in touch with our customer service team or consult us through another avenue (such as on social media, or via a property portal), we'll collect information from you there, too. After a visit, clients can be asked to provide some feedback in order to ensure we have the information necessary to continually improve our services.

- Personal information you give us about others

Of course, you might not just be looking for property for yourself. Maybe you are searching on behalf of a third party - client or friend - and provide us with their details as part of the enquiry. However, now we should point out that it is your responsibility to ensure that the person or people you have provided personal information about are aware that you have done so, and have accepted how OliveHomes.com uses their information (as described in this Privacy Statement).

When you visit our website or app certain information may automatically be collected. This includes your IP address, the date and time you accessed our services, the hardware, software or internet browser you use, and information about your computer's operating system, like application versions and your language settings. We might also collect information about clicks and which pages have been shown to you.

If you are using a mobile device, we might also collect data that identifies your mobile device, device-specific settings and characteristics, location details, app crashes and other system activity. When you make a enquiry, our system registers through which means and from which websites you've made your enquiry or entered the OliveHomes.com website and/or app.
