LEGAL NOTICE AND PRIVACY POLICY
Last updated: 31 August 2026
This Legal Notice and Privacy Policy explains who operates the Marbella For Sale websites, the rules governing their use, and how Marbella For Sale S.L. collects, uses, stores, and protects personal data.
It applies to www.marbellaforsale.com, its language versions and resource tools, and, where Marbella For Sale S.L. is identified as the controller, to related websites and services operated by the same company. The Dutch-language Marbella Te Koop website is operated by Marbella For Sale S.L.
This policy is intended to comply with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR), Spanish Organic Law 3/2018 on Personal Data Protection and Guarantee of Digital Rights (LOPDGDD), and Law 34/2002 on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce (LSSI-CE), together with other applicable legislation.

2. Website use and property information
The website and its content are provided for general information and property-marketing purposes. Property descriptions, prices, availability, dimensions, taxes, costs, yields, estimates, completion dates, and other details may change and should be independently confirmed before any legal or financial commitment is made.
Nothing on the website, including the output of calculators, comparison tools, lifestyle tools, investment scores, rental-yield tools, Property X-Ray, property matching or affordability tools, constitutes legal, tax, mortgage, investment, valuation, or other regulated professional advice.
Users must not use the website unlawfully, interfere with its operation or security, attempt unauthorised access, introduce malicious code, infringe intellectual-property rights, impersonate others, or use information obtained from the website for unsolicited advertising or other unlawful purposes.
3. Intellectual property and external links
Unless otherwise stated, the website design, text, graphics, logos, photographs, software, source code, databases, and other content are owned by or licensed to Marbella For Sale S.L. They may not be reproduced, distributed, modified, or commercially exploited without permission except where permitted by law.
Links to third-party websites are provided for convenience. Marbella For Sale S.L. does not control third-party websites and is not responsible for their content, availability, security, or privacy practices.
4. Personal data we may collect
Depending on how you use our websites and services, we may collect identification and contact data such as name, email address, telephone number, preferred language, and country or location information you choose to provide.
For property enquiries and client relationships, we may collect information about your property requirements, budget, financing, preferred areas, viewing requests, transaction status, correspondence, and other information needed to assist with a purchase, sale, rental, or property-related service.
When you use interactive resource tools, we may collect the answers and preferences you submit, such as budget, property type, bedroom requirements, lifestyle preferences, investment priorities, expected rental information, property details, comparison criteria, and similar inputs required to generate the requested result.
We may also process technical and usage information such as IP address, device/browser information, user agent, referring page, landing page, timestamps, session identifiers, campaign and UTM parameters, consent records, and security or diagnostic logs.
Where permitted by law and relevant to a property enquiry, we may receive personal data from property portals, referral partners, collaborating agents, professional advisers, public sources, or other persons who have lawfully provided your details to us. Where required, we will provide the applicable information about the source and processing.
5. Why we use personal data and our legal bases
We process personal data only where we have a lawful basis. The applicable basis depends on the context.
To answer enquiries, arrange viewings, provide requested property information, deliver requested reports or interactive-tool results, and take steps at your request before entering into a contract, we rely on performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures where applicable, and/or our legitimate interest in responding to requests and providing our services.
To manage an active client relationship, property transaction, reservation, purchase, sale, rental, or related service, processing may be necessary for performance of a contract and for compliance with legal obligations.
To meet tax, accounting, anti-money-laundering, fraud-prevention, record-keeping, regulatory, or other legal requirements, we rely on compliance with legal obligations and, where relevant, our legitimate interests in protecting our business and legal rights.
For direct electronic marketing where consent is required, we rely on your consent. You may withdraw that consent at any time. Where the law permits marketing on another basis, you retain the right to object at any time.
For website security, fraud prevention, service improvement, troubleshooting, and necessary technical operation, we may rely on our legitimate interests, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.
For non-essential analytics or advertising technologies that require consent under applicable cookie/ePrivacy rules, we rely on the choices you make through our cookie-consent mechanism.
6. Interactive tools, scoring, matching, and personalised results
Our resource platform may use the information you submit to calculate costs, estimate rental yields, score preferences, compare properties, assess investment criteria, suggest areas or properties, or show what may fit within a stated budget.
These tools use rules, calculations, weighting, filtering, and/or matching logic to create personalised results. The results are indicative and intended to help you organise your property search or understand possible scenarios.
We do not use these resource-tool scores or recommendations to make decisions about you that produce legal effects or similarly significant effects. A member of our team can discuss or review any result with you on request.
Providing optional information that is not marked as required is voluntary. If you do not provide information necessary for a particular calculation, report, or enquiry, we may be unable to provide that service or result.
7. Marketing communications and Constant Contact
Where a form offers an optional marketing checkbox, marketing consent is separate from the information needed to provide the requested tool, report, or property service. Marketing boxes are not intended to be pre-selected, and refusing marketing does not prevent you from receiving the result or service you requested.
If you choose to receive marketing, we may send property news, listings, developments, market updates, invitations, resources, and other communications from Marbella For Sale S.L.
We use email-marketing and contact-management service providers, including Constant Contact, to manage subscriptions and communications. These providers process personal data on our behalf under contractual and data-protection obligations.
You can unsubscribe using the link included in marketing emails or by contacting us. Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing carried out lawfully before withdrawal. We may retain a minimal suppression record to ensure that your opt-out is respected.
8. Recipients and service providers
We do not sell personal data.
Personal data may be accessed or processed, only where necessary, by service providers that support our business, such as website hosting and IT providers, email and communications providers, CRM and marketing platforms, analytics or advertising providers where permitted, document or cloud service providers, and security or technical support providers.
Where necessary for a requested property service or transaction, information may also be shared with collaborating agents, developers, property owners, lawyers, notaries, banks or mortgage professionals, valuers, insurers, tax advisers, accountants, translators, property portals, utility or administrative service providers, and other professional parties involved in the matter.
We may disclose information to courts, regulators, law-enforcement bodies, tax authorities, public administrations, or other authorities where required by law or where necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
Processors acting on our behalf may use personal data only in accordance with our instructions and applicable data-protection obligations.
9. International data transfers
Some technology, communications, marketing, cloud, or support providers may process personal data from countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA).
Where personal data is transferred internationally, we use a lawful transfer mechanism as required by the GDPR, such as an adequacy decision, the European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses, or another legally recognised safeguard, together with supplementary measures where appropriate.
Constant Contact states that its data-processing arrangements incorporate the European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses for relevant international transfers. Further information about safeguards may be requested from us using the contact details in this policy.
10. Data retention
We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and to meet applicable legal, accounting, tax, anti-money-laundering, evidential, or regulatory requirements.
As a general operational guideline, enquiries and prospective-client records may be retained for up to 24 months after the last meaningful interaction unless a longer period is justified by an ongoing matter, a client relationship, a legal obligation, or the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
Interactive-tool sessions and shareable result links may expire sooner than the associated lead, consent, or enquiry record. Where tool inputs are retained with the lead record, they are subject to the same necessity and retention review as the related enquiry.
Marketing subscription data is normally retained until you unsubscribe, object, or we determine that continued retention is no longer necessary. A limited suppression record may be retained after opt-out so that we do not contact you again against your wishes.
Transaction and compliance records may be retained for longer periods where required by Spanish or EU law. Security and technical logs are retained only for periods reasonably necessary for security, diagnosis, fraud prevention, and legal compliance.
We periodically review retained information and delete, anonymise, or restrict it when it is no longer required.
11. Cookies, analytics, and advertising technologies
Our websites may use cookies and similar technologies. Strictly necessary technologies may be used to provide requested functionality, security, session management, language preferences, or other essential features.
Analytics, advertising, personalisation, or other non-essential technologies are used only in accordance with applicable law and, where required, your consent choices. You can manage available choices through our cookie banner or settings mechanism and through your browser.
Where we use services such as analytics or advertising platforms, information generated by those technologies may be processed by the relevant provider in accordance with the settings, safeguards, and agreements applicable to that service. More detailed cookie information should be provided through our Cookie Policy or consent interface.
12. Security
We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or access. Measures may include access controls, authentication, encryption or pseudonymisation where appropriate, backups, system monitoring, software updates, and restricted staff access.
No internet or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. If we become aware of a personal-data breach, we will assess and manage it in accordance with applicable legal requirements, including notification to the competent authority and affected individuals where required.
13. Your data-protection rights
Subject to the conditions set out in the GDPR, you may exercise the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and objection.
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
You have an unconditional right to object to the use of your personal data for direct marketing.
Where applicable, you also have rights concerning decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal effects or similarly significantly affect you.
To exercise your rights, contact info@marbellaforsale.com or write to Edificio Marina Banús, Local 8, Calle Francisco Villalón, 29660 Puerto Banús, Marbella, Málaga, Spain. We may ask for information reasonably necessary to verify your identity and protect your data.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (Agencia Española de Protección de Datos, AEPD) at www.aepd.es, particularly if you consider that your rights have not been respected.
14. Children
Our property services and interactive tools are intended for adults. We do not knowingly seek to collect personal data from children for property marketing purposes. If we learn that personal data has been provided by a child in circumstances where it should not have been collected, we will take appropriate steps to delete or otherwise address it.
15. Confidentiality and staff access
Personal data is treated confidentially. Access is limited to personnel and service providers who need the information for legitimate business, service, compliance, or support purposes and who are subject to appropriate confidentiality or contractual obligations.
16. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes in law, technology, our services, or how we process personal data. The current version will be published on the relevant website with an updated revision date. Where a change materially affects processing for which consent is required, we will seek new consent where the law requires it.
