Registering on our site is optional. If you choose not to register or provide personal information, you can still use the majority of the website.
When you register you will be asked to submit personal information about yourself (e.g. name and email address etc.).

By entering your details in the fields requested, you enable us to provide you with the services you select. Whenever you provide such personal information, we will treat that information in accordance with this policy.

When you register with LandLounge.com, you will be able to log in and access full details of our development opportunities, view site plans and download documents such as planning applications and site survey reports (when available).

You will also receive an email alert each time land is added to our site which matches the search criteria you have specified. You can unsubscribe from these email communications at any time via your Account Settings page.

How do we protect your personal details?

We have strict procedures governing the storage and disclosure of personal details to prevent unauthorised access and misuse. In addition, all your personal information is password-protected: only you and LandLounge.com have access to your personal information.

Access to your personal information

You have the right to request a copy of the personal information LandLounge.com holds about you and to have any inaccuracies corrected. (Please note that we charge £10 for information requests.)

How do we use your personal information?

If you have opted to receive LandLounge.com communications, we will use your personal information to send these newsletters to you.

We will respect your email privacy. We will, however, email you occasionally with information about important changes to our service and a limited amount of marketing material which may promote some of our partners' services.

If you request a site visit or submit an offer for some land or other property, we will often need to disclose certain personal information about you (such as your name, company and address) to the vendor and/or their agents and representatives. We record each member's access to full advert descriptions which helps us to detect membership account abuse. We may also use this information to contact you in relation to your interest in a particular piece of land.

We monitor customer traffic patterns and site usage in order to help us develop the design and layout of the website.
