Privacy Policy
Last updated: 08 August 2025
We know that your personal information is important to you and we are committed to ensuring it is kept secure and used carefully. Below you will find a short summary of how and why we collect your data, who we share it with, and what we’re doing to make sure your data is safe and secure. You will also find details of your privacy rights.
This is the privacy policy of Pangaea Limited (“Pangaea”). If we change our privacy policy, we will notify you of those changes here.
Our Website may include hyperlinks to other websites that are not operated or controlled by us. This privacy policy only applies to our Website and we are not responsible for the content or the privacy practices of third-party websites.
What does Pangaea do?
Pangaea is a privately owned company based in Ireland. We provide insight and advice on overseas real estate. We are part of a group of companies.
What personal information does Pangaea collect and why?
We collect information in order to allow us to provide the services you request from us, and to personalise and improve your experience of our services, Websites, and communications with you. All such information is held on secure servers. We only use personal data you have given us, that International Living Publishing Limited (International Living) has shared with us, or that we have collected from you when you visit our Websites and order forms. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
We sometimes share your personal information with third parties, but only to provide the services you have requested from us or to improve your experience with us and make our business more responsive to your interests and/or those of like-minded individuals or when you have specifically requested that we do so. We never release your personal information to others for their mailing or marketing purposes.
The personal information that we may collect about you broadly falls into three categories:
Information that you provide
We may ask you to provide personal information in order to provide our services to you. We may also share personal information that you provide to third parties to improve your experience with us, to help us provide the services you requested, or reach like-minded individuals that may be interested in our products.
For example, if you want more information on a particular real estate opportunity that we write about, you can fill in your personal information on an online form provided and hosted by Pangaea. If you do so, that personal information is automatically passed to Pangaea’s Salesforce CRM database, and from there, it is passed automatically to the real estate agent or developer that you are requesting more information from.
Information provided by International Living
When you sign up to International Living’s e-letter “Real Estate Trend Alert”, we are provided with your personal data, including your subscription and signup information. We collect this information so we can provide tailored editorial about real estate opportunities and to improve our service offering.
Information that we collect automatically
When you visit our Websites and order forms, we may collect certain information automatically from your device. The data we collect may include information like your IP address, device type, unique device identification numbers, browser type, and other technical information. We may also collect information about how your device has interacted with our Website or order form.
We collect this information so we can better understand the visitors who come to our Websites and look at our order forms and what content may be of interest to them. Some of this information may be collected using cookies and similar technology.

How does Pangaea keep my personal information secure?
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the personal information that we collect and process. The measures we use are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal information. Where we share data with third parties, we ensure that your data will be kept secure and will not be provided or sold to another party.
International data transfers
Your personal information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country.
However, we have taken appropriate safeguards to require that your personal information will remain protected in accordance with this privacy policy. These include implementing the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of personal information between our group of companies.
Data retention
We retain personal information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax, or accounting requirements).
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise it or, if this is not possible, then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
Your data protection rights
You have the following data protection rights:
- You may access, correct, update, or request the deletion of your personal information at any time.
- You can object to the processing of your personal information, ask us to restrict the processing, or request portability.
- You have the right to opt out of communications we may send you at any time.
- You can withdraw your consent at any time.
- You have the right to complain to a data protection authority about our collection and use of your personal information.
