If you email us, we keep your email and what you tell us, so we can reply and, if you go ahead, provide the work you ask for. If you become a client, we hold the listings, photos, footage and other material you send us to make your content.

We also contact estate agencies we think may be interested in our services. For that we use business contact details that agencies publish themselves, such as on their own websites, and we note when we contacted you and any reply.

This website uses no advertising or tracking cookies.

Why, and on what basis

To answer your enquiry and take steps you ask for before a contract: legitimate interests and contract.
To provide our services to clients: contract.
To contact agencies about our services: legitimate interests. You can ask us to stop at any time, and we will.

How long we keep it

Enquiries and outreach records that don't lead to work: up to 12 months, or less if you ask us to stop. Client material: while we work together and up to 12 months after. Business records: as long as the law requires, usually six years.

Who we share it with

Only the services we need to run our email, this website, scheduling and our writing tools, under their own data-protection terms. We never sell your data.
