Privacy notice
This notice covers the sign-up list for thehousingmarket.co.uk, and accounts and listings on the site.
Contact us
For anything about your data, email hello@thehousingmarket.co.uk.
What we collect
- Whether you’re selling or buying.
- Your email address.
- Sellers: your home’s postcode, whether it’s already for sale, and the link to its listing if you give one. Buyers: the towns or postcodes you’re looking in.
- The wording you agreed to and when you agreed to it.
Why we collect it
To email you when we open in your area, and to count how many buyers and sellers are waiting in each area. We only ever show those counts as numbers, never who you are.
Our lawful basis is your consent. You can withdraw it at any time by emailing us, or by using the unsubscribe link in any email we send.
If you create an account or list a home
- We keep your email address and a record of when you sign in, so you can use your account.
- If you add a home that’s already for sale elsewhere, we keep the details and any photos you add, and show the link to your existing listing.
- If you list a home, we keep the details and photos you add. The public listing shows the street, town, first part of the postcode, price, photos, description and key facts. Your house number or name and full postcode are not shown publicly.
- Photos are resized in your browser before upload, which removes location data your phone may add.
Our lawful basis for this is providing the service you asked for. Deleting a listing in your account removes it and its photos. To close your account, email us.
Who else handles it
- Cloudflare hosts this website and stores the sign-up list, accounts, listings and photos.
- Resend sends our emails: sign-in links, and the confirmation when you join the list. It receives your email address and the email we send you.
- postcodes.io looks up the postcode district for the postcode or place you enter. We send it only that postcode or place name, never your email.
We don’t sell or share your details with anyone else.
How long we keep it
Until 12 months after we launch in your area, or sooner if you ask us to delete it.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete what we hold about you, or withdraw your consent. Email hello@thehousingmarket.co.uk. If you’re unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
