We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data.
Data Collection and Use
When you sign up for membership with Lettings Advice Service, we collect your name, email address, and payment details. Payments are processed securely by Stripe – we do not store or see your full card details.
We use your email to create your account and to send you membership information. We may also use it to send important service updates. We do not sell or share your personal information with other companies for marketing.
Membership Cancellation vs Account Deletion
Cancelling your subscription stops future charges but keeps your account active. You can reactivate your subscription at any time without losing your account data.
Deleting your account permanently removes all your personal data and cannot be undone. You can request account deletion anytime via your Profile page. If you wish to use our services again after deletion, you will need to create a new account.
Your Data Rights
Under GDPR and UK data protection laws, you have the right to:
- Access your data: Download a copy of all your personal data via your Profile page
- Rectify your data: Update your account information at any time
- Erase your data: Request permanent deletion of your account and personal data
- Portability: Export your data in a machine-readable format
Data Retention
We retain your personal data only as long as necessary for providing our services. Financial records (invoices, payment history) may be retained for up to 7 years as required by UK tax law, even after account deletion. These records are stored securely and used only for legal compliance.
Cookies
Our website uses small files called cookies. These help the website work properly, such as keeping you logged in and remembering your membership session. Stripe may also place cookies during checkout to process payments securely. If we use analytics in the future (like Google Analytics), those cookies will only be set if you accept them.
