  • Account data is kept while your account is active. If you delete your account we erase or anonymise it within 30 days, except what we must retain by law.
  • Reviews and public content may be kept in anonymised form after account deletion so that listings stay accurate.
  • Security and activity logs are kept for about 180 days, or longer if needed to investigate abuse or meet a legal duty.
  • Enquiries and messages are kept for as long as needed to handle them and for a reasonable period afterwards.

How We Protect Your Data #

We use reasonable security practices and procedures suited to the data we hold, including hashed passwords, access controls, session protection and monitoring of sign-in attempts. Where available we use encrypted (HTTPS) connections.

No system is completely secure. Please choose a strong, unique password, do not share your OTP with anyone, and sign out on shared devices. If you suspect a breach affecting your account, contact us straight away.

  • Correct or update inaccurate or incomplete data;
  • Erase your data when it is no longer needed or you withdraw consent;
