Automated decisions and profiling (art. 22 GDPR)
Some site features rely on algorithmic processing: the Property Matcher (recommendation of properties based on the criteria you declare) and the internal qualification scoring of valuation requests (HOT / WARM / COLD prioritisation to set the call-back time). These are decision-support tools intended for our staff: no decision producing legal effects on you, or affecting you significantly, is taken in a fully automated manner. You may at any time request a human review, contest the result or express your point of view at contact@eires.lu.

- Contract performance (art. 6.1.b) for messages tied to a signed mandate (weekly report, listing, preliminary contract).
Data collected via WhatsApp
- Phone number (channel identifier).
- Content of exchanged messages (text, images, documents).
- Send / receive / read timestamps.
