Personal information we collect

 “Personal information” In general terms, includes information or an opinion that personally identifies you either directly (e.g. your name) or indirectly. What personal information do we collect? The personal information we collect about you depends on the nature of your dealings with us or what you choose to share with us. The personal information we collect about you may include: name; mailing or street address; date of birth; email address; phone number; bank details.

Why we collect the information

We use personal information for many purposes in connection with our functions and activities, including the following purposes: provide you with information or services that you request from us; improve the quality of the services we offer; internal administrative purposes; marketing and research purposes.

How we collect the information

We collect your personal information directly from you: by interacting with us over the phone; interact with us in person; interact with us online; subscribe to our mailing list; apply for a position with us as an employee or contractor or apply for a rental property.

Retention of personal information

We will not keep your personal information for longer than we need to. In most cases, this means that we will only retain your personal information for the duration of your relationship with us unless we are required to retain your personal information to comply with applicable laws, for example record-keeping obligations.

Prospecting your personal information

McCann Properties will take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information that we hold about you is kept confidential and secure and protected from misuse, loss or unauthorized access, modification or disclosure. We do this by:

• having technological measures in place (for example, anti-virus software, fire walls).

We may store information about you in cloud or other types of networked or electronic storage.  As electronic or networked storage can be accessed from various countries through an internet connection it is not always practical to know in which country personal information about you may be held. 

Where appropriate, we use secure transmission facilities.  However, no transmission of information over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure and we do not warrant the security of any information transmitted to us over the internet.

Information disclosed
