Privacy

Draft. This notice describes how the site is built today. Have it reviewed against the Data Protection Act before launch.

What we collect

• Enquiries: your name, email, phone number and message, which we pass to the advertiser you contact.
• Alerts: your email address and the search you saved. Every alert has a one-click unsubscribe.
• Accounts: your name, email and a securely hashed password.
• Listings: the details and photos you submit, plus any title documents. Title documents are kept private, and only moderators can open them.

Adverts copied from Facebook

Our staff may copy a public advert from Facebook into a private review queue, including the name and number the advertiser gave, so we can ask whether they'd like to be listed here. We only publish it, with those details and any photos they've shared, once they've agreed. If they say no, or ask us to take it down, we erase what they wrote, their details and their photos, and keep only the link to the post, so that we don't ask them again.

If you paste your own Facebook advert in, we keep the post's link and text, your photos, your name, phone number and email, and a record of the agreement you ticked and when. A moderator uses your phone number or email to confirm the advert is yours before it goes live. Your email is never shown on the site. Ask us to take the listing down at any time, and we erase all of it, keeping only the link to the post.

Photos

We remove the location data that phones store in photos, so an uploaded picture doesn't reveal exactly where it was taken.

Cookies

We use cookies only to run the site: to remember your currency, your saved properties and your login. There are no advertising cookies.

Other services

Maps load from a map tile provider, fonts from Google Fonts and sample photos from Unsplash, so those services see your IP address when they load. Tapping WhatsApp takes you to WhatsApp, under its own terms.
