What we collect

When you create a free account, ask about a house or set a price alert, we store your email address and what you typed in the form (name, message, country, budget and similar), the page you were on, your approximate country (from Cloudflare) and your browser type. We use Google Analytics to count visits. Your saved houses and currency choice stay on your own device.

Sign in with Google

If you choose “Continue with Google”, Google tells us your email address, which we use only to create your free account and send what you asked for. We do not receive your Google password, and we do not read or store anything else from your Google account (no contacts, no files, no calendar). We use the data from Google only to provide this site's features and never sell it or use it for advertising.

How we use it

To send the weekly list and price alerts you asked for, to answer your questions, and to improve the site. If you ask about a house, we share your message and email with a licensed real-estate agent for that house so they can reply, and with nobody else for marketing. We never sell your email address.

Where it is kept

On Cloudflare's infrastructure. Cloudflare may process data outside your country.
