What we collect

• •IP address — auto-detected on visit. Used to identify your pins, prevent spam, and enforce bans. Never displayed publicly.

How matching shares your contact

When you drop a seeker pin or list a flat with your contact details, our matching system periodically compares pins within a 2 km radius that are compatible on budget, BHK, and preferences. When a match is found, both sides receive a single email containing each other's contact. This is the only way the matching feature can work. Contact is never displayed on the map — only in match emails. If you don't want your contact shared, don't add it or delete your pin.
