Privacy Policy

Last updated: 15 November 2026

Who we are

PropertyScope UK is operated by Zeb Bekoe, trading as PropertyScope UK , Manchester, UK. Contact: [email protected].

We are the data controller for personal information collected through propertyscopeuk.co.uk. This policy explains what we collect, why, and your rights under UK data protection law (UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018).

What we collect

• Account details: your email address and a password (held by our authentication provider in hashed form, never in plain text).
• Portfolio data: the properties and deal details you choose to save, such as names, locations, prices, rents, costs and the results we calculate. This data is linked to your account and is visible only to you.
• Searches: locations or postcodes you enter in the Deal Finder are sent to our servers to look up rental statistics. We do not use them to build profiles of individuals.
• Technical data: standard server and security logs such as IP address, browser type and request time, processed by our hosting provider.
• Messages: if you email us, we keep the message and your email address so we can reply.

We do not currently run advertising or analytics trackers on the site. If that changes, we will update this policy and ask for consent where the law requires it.

Why we use it (lawful bases)

• To provide your account and the tools you ask for: performance of a contract.
• To keep the service secure and working, and to respond to enquiries: our legitimate interests.
• To meet legal obligations, such as tax or fraud-prevention records if we ever take payments: legal obligation.

Cookies and local storage

We use browser local storage to keep you signed in. This is strictly necessary for the service to work, so it does not need consent. Our sign-in script is loaded from a content delivery network (jsDelivr), which receives your IP address when the page loads.

Who we share it with

We use these service providers (processors) to run the site. They process data on our instructions:

• Supabase: account sign-in and database storage.
• Cloudflare: hosting, DNS, security and email forwarding.
• Postcodes.io: we send the postcode you type to look up its local authority. No account details are sent.
• Homedata: if and when live listings are enabled, searches you make may be sent to Homedata to retrieve property listings.
• Payment provider: if we introduce paid plans, payments will be handled by a payment provider such as Stripe, and we will update this policy first.

We do not sell your personal data. Some providers may process data outside the UK. Where they do, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as UK-approved transfer mechanisms.

How long we keep it

We keep your account and portfolio data while your account is open. If you ask us to delete your account, we will delete or anonymise your data within a reasonable period, except where we must keep something for legal reasons. Emails are kept as long as needed to deal with your request.

Your rights

You can ask us to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your data, to object to our use of it, or to receive a copy in a portable format. Email [email protected] and we will respond within one month.

If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.

Security

Data is protected in transit with HTTPS, and database access is restricted so that each user can only read and change their own saved properties. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong, unique password.

Changes

We may update this policy. The date at the top shows when it last changed.
