Effective Date: 20-07-2025
HomeQuest.io ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our services, in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

HomeQuest.io
Contact Email: info@homequest.io
We are the data controller responsible for your personal data.

2. Who is a Broker?
​​
A broker is a second party with whom we share your client profile information to help facilitate the buying process. Brokers use your data to connect you with landlords and proceed with the buying operation. Your data is shared only with authorized brokers directly involved in assisting your property search.
​
3. Who is a Financial Advisor?
A financial advisor is an independent professional from our trusted network whom we may recommend to you. Their role is to provide expert financial guidance and assist you in evaluating financing options, budgeting, and other financial considerations related to the property purchase process.
With your prior agreement, we may share limited personal details — such as your name, email address, and phone number — to enable direct contact between you and the advisor. Financial advisors remain fully independent professionals, and any advice or services they provide are their sole responsibility.
