Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters. This Privacy Policy explains how Digitsflow LTD ("we", "our", "us") collects, uses and protects personal data when you use Postcodewise—whether you browse reports, authenticate for APIs, or collaborate inside organisation workspaces.

Last Updated: July 2026

1. Who We Are

Digitsflow LTD is the data controller for personal information processed in connection with Postcodewise. We are a private limited company registered in England & Wales (Company No. 16330711) with our statutory registered office at Suite A, James Carter Road, Mildenhall, Bury St. Edmunds, IP28 7DE.

2. What Data We Collect

  • Account & workspace data: name, email address, identifiers for login, organisation or workspace memberships, invitations and feature flags aligned to personal vs business account features.
  • Operational content you send us: optional profile fields you choose (for example telephone if offered), postcode intelligence you request, uploads you deliberately submit inside a workspace API or UI, voluntary survey payloads you configure plus structured answers (often including UK postcodes selected by respondents) and timestamps or IP logs needed for moderation and misuse prevention.
  • Technical & telemetry data: IP addresses, coarse device or browser fingerprints, referrer paths, webhook or API request diagnostics and security logs.
  • Payment and agreement data: invoice details, quotation references or billing contact details you provide for paid API or workspace agreements. If online card checkout is introduced later, the checkout screen will name the payment processor before purchase.
  • Support & feedback: free-text messages, complaint threads and attachments emailed or submitted via our contact workflows.

3. Browser Extension: Data, Location & Protections

The Postcodewise Property Report browser extension (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, Brave, Arc, and Safari) surfaces a Postcodewise report next to property listings you view. This section explains exactly what it reads, what "location data" means for the extension, what we send to our servers, what stays on your device, and how it's protected.

What the extension reads from a page

The extension only runs on property listing pages on Rightmove, Zoopla, OnTheMarket, PrimeLocation, and OpenRent, plus our own sign-in page at postcodewise.co.uk/extension/connect. On a listing page, it reads the property's address, postcode, and asking or rental price directly from that page's visible content — the same text you can already see in your browser.

"Location data" — what it is and isn't

The extension does not use your device's GPS, Wi-Fi positioning, or IP-based geolocation, and does not request browser geolocation permission. The only location-related data it handles is the property address and postcode of the listing you are viewing — information already displayed on the page, not your own physical whereabouts.

What we send to our servers

When you are signed in, the extension sends the postcode (and, for the "this property" sale-history feature, the scraped address text) to our own servers at postcodewise.co.uk over HTTPS, so we can return the area report or that property's Land Registry sale history. We never send this data to any third party, and the extension makes no network requests to any domain other than postcodewise.co.uk — its permissions are scoped to the five listing sites above purely so it can read the page content on them; it cannot see or access any other website you visit.

What's stored on your device

Signing in stores a short-lived sign-in token, your name and email, and your report quota in the browser's local extension storage on your own device. This never leaves your device except as the bearer token sent with requests to postcodewise.co.uk to authenticate them. It is removed automatically when the sign-in expires or you disconnect, and everything is deleted immediately if you uninstall the extension.

How it's protected

  • All communication with our servers is HTTPS-only.
  • Host permissions are limited to the five listing portals and postcodewise.co.uk — nothing broader.
  • No third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking code is bundled in the extension.
  • Address and postcode data read from a page is used solely to generate your report, never sold or shared.
  • You can disconnect your account from the extension at any time, which clears the stored sign-in token.

4. How We Use Your Data & Legal Basis

We process your personal data only where we have a lawful basis under UK GDPR:

  • Contract: to onboard you, authenticate access, fulfil API or workspace entitlements where agreed, provision workspace artefacts (such as branded survey links), and honour written project agreements.
  • Legitimate Interests: to improve and secure Postcodewise, prevent fraud, and analyse aggregated usage.
  • Legal Obligation: to meet accounting, tax, and regulatory requirements.
  • Consent: to send you marketing emails (you can withdraw at any time).

8. Data Retention & Security

Technical and organisational measures—including encryption in transit and at rest, access controls and regular penetration testing—are in place to safeguard your information.
