PropertyHeads is the property social network; we hope that people everywhere will use the PropertyHeads platform to enhance the property related aspects of their lives. We use “PropertyHeads”
here to refer to the PropertyHeads.com website and our iOS and Android apps (also referred to as our
“Services”
) that provide you with access to that platform. We also use
“PropertyHeads”
to refer to the companies operating our Services.
The Services are operated and provided to you by PropertyHeads Group Ltd, a UK limited company, with registered office at 22-24 Elm Road, Leigh-on-Sea, Essex SS9 1SN, England.
Eligibility.
Each person can only have one personal account, and you may not share your account password with anyone else (even a family member sharing your home) or allow someone else to use your personal account. You must use your real name, not a pseudonym. If you are under 13 years old (or any older age of consent required to use social media services where you live), do not use our services or provide any data to us. Convicted sex offenders, including registered sex offenders, and their households are not eligible for PropertyHeads accounts; and we may also deny other account registrations we think could harm other PropertyHeads members.

We make efforts to enforce our eligibility requirements, but please do not assume these processes are perfect.

PropertyHeads recognizes the importance of privacy for users of PropertyHeads. As referred to in our privacy policy, we use cookies and related technologies, such as beacons, pixels, tags and local storage, to provide you with the services accessible through our website and our apps (together, “PropertyHeads” or our “Services”). We use these technologies to provide, protect and improve PropertyHeads, as well as to understand and measure how you use and interact with it.
This policy explains how we use cookies and related technology on PropertyHeads. By accessing or using PropertyHeads, you consent to our use of these technologies as described in this policy. Please do not use PropertyHeads if you are not comfortable with the ways in which we use cookies and related technologies.
What Is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small file containing a unique identifier that is placed in the web browser of your computer or mobile device. Cookies and related technologies, such as tracking pixels, enable our systems to recognize your device and report information back to us. Such recognition helps the efficient operation of PropertyHeads, including our website and apps.
Does PropertyHeads Use Cookies?
Yes, like most websites and social networks, we use cookies in the course of providing you with our Services.
What Cookies Does PropertyHeads Use, and Why?
We use both session cookies and persistent cookies.
We use a session cookie to identify you during a particular visit to PropertyHeads. Session cookies expire after a short time, or when you close your web browser or app after using PropertyHeads.
We use a persistent cookie to identify you over a long period of time. (For example, if you asked us to keep you signed in, we would use a persistent cookie for that purpose.) Persistent cookies remain on your device for the set period of time specified in the cookie.
We use cookies to operate and improve PropertyHeads, specifically:
To authenticate you and secure our Services: We use cookies to monitor login, session and status data. This allows us to know, for example, whether you are logged in.
To remember your settings and preferences: We use cookies to recognize your browser and remember your preferences. For example, we may use cookies to remember your language preferences.
To carry out analytics and research: We use cookies to understand your use of PropertyHeads and how we can improve our offerings. For example, we use cookies to track whether you open emails we send you.
Third-Party Cookies:
Facebook: If you register or sign in using Facebook, a Facebook cookie is set to help track your log-in.
Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics, including Google Analytics cookies, to collect anonymous traffic data to help us analyze how members and visitors access and use PropertyHeads, and for other Analytics services relating to website activity and internet usage.
Third-Party Cookies From Content Shared By Members: PropertyHeads members may share content on PropertyHeads that originates from a third-party website or service, and that third-party website or service may set its own cookies when you interact with that content. For example, if a member posts a video from YouTube on PropertyHeads, YouTube may set a cookie when you click to watch the video.
What Other Related Technologies Does PropertyHeads Use, and Why?
Tracking Pixels: Our advertising partners may use tracking pixels or similar technology to measure the success of the sponsored posts or other advertising products they use. A “tracking pixel” (also sometimes called web beacon, or clear GIF) is a tiny piece of code, invisible to the user, placed on a webpage or in an email and used in combination with a cookie, to link a given activity or impression back to the user; the advertiser includes it in its content so it can measure whether our members interact with that content (for example, by clicking to view an offer). We may set our own tracking pixel on an advertiser’s website so we can measure whether our members found the advertiser’s content effective or interesting, by tracking whether the sponsored post prompted members to take advantage of the advertised offer. This information helps us assess whether sponsored posts and other advertising offers are relevant and interesting to our members and successful for the advertiser.
Opting Out
You may refuse or restrict the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. However, limiting or refusing cookies may affect your ability to use PropertyHeads. Please note that our systems are not configured to accept browsers’ Do Not Track signals, because no industry standard for handling them has been adopted. If you want to opt out of specific third-party cookies, please consult the third party’s website or privacy policy as well as the cookie settings on your browser.

Our business changes constantly and our cookie policy will also change, so please review it frequently.
