What information do we collect?
When you visit our Web site you may provide us with two types of information: personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected on an individual basis and Web site use information collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our Web site.
1. Personal Information You Choose to Provide
If you choose to register with us for news alerts, property alerts, a property valuation or a mortgage enquiry, you may need to give personal information that allow us to direct the particular service you have requested to you. For example, you may need to provide the following information:

2. Web Site Use Information
Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web site utilizes a standard technology called "cookies" and Web server logs to collect information about how our Web site is used. Information gathered through cookies and Web server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our Web site, and the Web sites visited just before and just after our Web site.

Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Please be aware that some parts of this site may not function properly if you decline our cookies.
How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to Us?
Your details will be used in providing the service you have applied for and for any subsequent administration arising from this. This may involve the disclosure of information to other members of the Sherry FitzGerald group. In certain cases, we may feel that a service or product offered by us or one of our associated companies may be of benefit to you. In such circumstances, we may make contact with you at a later date by mail or telephone to provide you with information on these other services or products. We will keep your personal details only for so long as to fulfill this purpose. Where you provide an e-mail address or mobile telephone number, we will only offer subsequent services or products with your prior consent. There is of course no obligation on you to receive details in respect of any of these services or products. If you prefer that we stop sending you any further information, please let us know by sending us an e-mail to compliance@sherryfitz.ie
Confidentiality of personal information
The personal information collected will be used by Sherry FitzGerald in a responsible manner and solely for the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy. We will not provide this information to any third party unless you have given your express approval, or it is required by law or where we need to disclose sufficient information to a service provider who is carrying out an outsourced service on our behalf. An example of this last situation is where we will ask a third party to provide a service delivering magazines. We will provide sufficient information so that they can carry out the function required, but will ensure that they may not use this information for any other purpose. In any case, we will never sell your personal information.
