Marketing communications may be sent using channels such as:
email;
telephone;
SMS;
messaging applications; or
other electronic communications.
You may opt out of direct marketing at any time by:
using an unsubscribe option where available;
following the instructions included in the communication; or
contacting us.
Opting out of marketing does not prevent us from sending communications necessary to provide a requested service or manage an existing relationship with you.
19. Sensitive Personal Data
We generally do not seek to collect sensitive personal data unless it is reasonably necessary for a legitimate purpose.
Where sensitive personal data is collected, we will process it in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
You should avoid providing sensitive personal information in general property enquiry forms unless it is specifically requested and reasonably necessary.
20. Personal Data Relating to Other People
If you provide personal data concerning another person, you should ensure that you are authorised to provide that information and, where required, that the individual has been appropriately informed.
For example, if you submit an enquiry on behalf of another prospective buyer or tenant, you should have authority to provide that person’s information.
21. Children
The Platform is primarily intended for adults involved in property-related activities.
We do not intentionally seek to collect unnecessary personal data from children.
Persons under 18 should not create accounts or submit transaction-related information without the involvement of a parent or legal guardian where appropriate.
If we become aware that personal data relating to a child has been collected inappropriately, we may take steps to remove or restrict that information.
22. Account Closure
If you have a registered account, you may request closure of your account.
Account closure does not necessarily require immediate deletion of every record associated with the account.
We may retain information where reasonably necessary for:
legal compliance;
fraud prevention;
dispute resolution;
security;
transaction records; or
other legitimate purposes permitted by law.
Information that no longer needs to identify you may instead be anonymised.

You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential.
You should:
use a strong password;
avoid sharing login credentials;
log out from shared devices;
protect access to your email account; and
