Your location data, if permission is granted, may be used solely to enhance the functionality of our map system and other features to improve your navigation experience on our site.

4. Sharing of Information

Any information you provide on listings may be shared with other users of the site. We will not sell or rent your personal information to third parties without your explicit consent.

9. Handling of Inactive and Agreed Listings

Once a listing is marked as 'Inactive' or 'Agreed', the following changes will occur:

  • Only the first part of the listing's postcode will be displayed to users, providing a rough location of the property without disclosing the full address.
  • All property images associated with the listing will be removed from public view.

These measures are designed to protect the privacy of landlords while still allowing potential renters to gauge the general area of available properties.
