Information Collection and Use
"We", "our", "us", "it's"; refers to LandlordExpert who is the same as D4 Media "the Website"; refers to landlord Expert.co.uk
LandlordExpert requires site users to register as members to view the free information on the website. We also collect information from our users at several different points on the website. This is so that we can customise the website according to individual and collective usage and to provide an accurately functioning website and ensure that content is acquired and developed appropriately. This also gives us an overall picture of our user/members, which in turn shows our editors the type of person they are reaching and the articles that should be posted on Landlord Expert - entirely free and accessible content for registered users.
We do not sell or rent information of any kind to 3rd parties but work ongoing with many services which will be made aware to you through various methods. If you do not wish us to inform you of useful information or services we wish to relay to you which may include 3rd party promotions please feel free to 'untick' the box requesting this service at the point of sign up or amend your 'Update profile' when logged in. We recommend you do choose and continue to choose to receive our information and emails however as many of our partners offer reduced rates to LandlordExpert members. We and partner organisations may only contact you via email or other means if you allow us to do so. If at any time you wish to stop receiving these emails simply login to the website and 'untick' the box 'Receive Updates' within the 'Update Profile' facility.

We will send regular news emails which will contain the latest landlord and investment related news articles. These news emails will only be sent by us and never supplied or sold as a list to third parties. These emails may contain promotions which we wish to include.

No editorial content is dictated or sold to third parties and is strictly sourced to keep our user/members more well informed. If at any time you wish to stop receiving these news emails simply login to the website and 'untick' the box 'Receive Updates' within the 'Update Profile' facility.
