Privacy Policy

This policy explains how PropertyNews ("we", "us") collects and uses your personal data when you use www.propertynews.io. We are the data controller for the purposes of UK data protection law (UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018).

What we collect

• Newsletter sign-ups: your email address, when you subscribe.
• Contact and enquiry forms: your name, email address and the content of your message.
• Usage data: anonymised analytics such as pages viewed, device type and approximate location, collected via cookies and similar technologies.

How we use it

• To send you our newsletter and respond to your enquiries.
• To understand how the site is used and to improve our content and performance.
• To keep the site secure and to comply with our legal obligations.

Our lawful bases are your consent (for the newsletter and non-essential cookies), and our legitimate interests in operating and improving the site.

Cookies and analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies, including Google Analytics, to measure traffic and usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling non-essential cookies will not prevent you from reading the site.

Who we share it with

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with the service providers that help us run the site, under appropriate safeguards, including our hosting and database providers (Vercel and Supabase), our email provider (Resend), and our analytics provider (Google). Some of these providers may process data outside the UK; where they do, appropriate transfer safeguards are in place.

Retention

We keep newsletter and enquiry data for as long as you remain subscribed or as needed to respond to you, and analytics data in line with our provider's standard retention periods. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal data, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, contact us via our Contact page. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
