When you browse listings, create an agent profile, or contact a business through Village Network, we may collect the following:

• Account details — name, email address, phone number, and city when you register or list a business.
• Listing information — business or property details submitted by agents and partners for publication.
• Usage data — pages viewed, searches performed, and device/browser information collected automatically.
• Communications — messages sent through our contact forms, valuation requests, or support channels.

We use the information collected to operate and improve Village Network, specifically to:

• Match you with relevant local businesses, agents, and listings.
• Verify listings and maintain the accuracy of our directory.
• Respond to enquiries, valuation requests, and support tickets.
• Send service updates, and — only with your consent — promotional communication.
• Monitor platform performance and prevent fraudulent or abusive activity.

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your search preferences, and understand how the site is used.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; some site features may not work correctly if you do.

We share limited information only where necessary to provide our services:

• With agents/businesses — when you submit an enquiry or valuation request, relevant contact details are shared with the agent or business you're contacting.
• With service providers — hosting, analytics, and email delivery partners who process data on our behalf under confidentiality obligations.
• For legal reasons — where required by applicable law, regulation, or a valid legal request.

We apply reasonable technical and organizational safeguards — including encrypted connections, access controls, and regular security reviews — to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, or loss.

While we work to protect your information, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your account.

Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Request deletion of your account and associated data.
• Withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time.
• Object to certain uses of your data, where applicable.

Our directory contains links to third-party business websites, agent profiles, and external services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties, and we encourage you to review their policies before sharing personal information.

Village Network is intended for users aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can remove it promptly.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Material changes will be indicated by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page, and where appropriate, we'll provide additional notice.
