subscribing letting agents, and new homes developers to display
properties they are marketing. We are not estate agents ourselves.

properties

anonymously record the details of searches made and the properties looked at.
We may make this data available to our member estate and letting agents to help
them monitor their properties performance on the site and to gauge market
interest in their areas. This data is not personally identifiable i.e. we can't
tell which properties you or any other person are looking at or have looked at.
The following features, by their
nature, require and make use of personally identifiable information.

identify which properties you have saved. We do not currently make this
individual information available to our member agents or third parties.
Who has access to the information you provide or we
collect
Fookit has access to the

to their own privacy policies.
Fookit our partner websites or

Like all websites, our servers
automatically record 'log files' containing information about the volume and
characteristics of our website traffic e.g. IP address, numbers of pages
viewed, length of time spent on site. We use log files to build pictures of how
our site is used that help us to monitor and improve the service. This

you. We may require you to co-operate with our security checks before we
disclose information to you. You can update the personal information that you
give us at any time by clicking on your 'my fookit' page.
Third party websites or contacts

websites or companies we have no control over. If you visit those sites you
should check you are happy with their own privacy policies and terms of use
before providing any personal information.
Communications
From time to time fookit may need to send you emails, e.g.
to confirm or remind you of your registration details. By registering you
accept this can happen.
We'd also like to send you
occasional emails with details of services or features we feel you would
benefit from or to gather feedback. If you are a registered user you can
opt-out of receiving these kinds of emails on your 'my fookit' page. For
non-registered users you can opt out using the privacy settings on the emails
forms. If you've already sent emails without opting out, you can ask us to
remove your email address from our database by sending an email to: removeme@fookit.co.uk

time to time as we add new services or features or in response to changes in
the law or our commercial arrangements. If you are a registered user, we will
give you notice of the changes.
