Privacy
Our privacy policy is very simple — we never give your details out to third parties.If you decide to list your property on House Hop then we will communicate with you only when we need to, for example, to confirm your listing and your account details or to update you on the progress of your listing.
If you choose, you can receive updates from us that we believe will be of use to you as you go through the processes of selling, buying and moving. You can, of course, opt out of receiving these updates at any time simply by clicking on the link provided in each one.
Are my contact details secure?
Your personal contact details are always kept secure: we never publish your personal details on the website. Buyers email you via a link on the site and you can reply to them in the same way. If and when you are comfortable doing so you can exchange contact details with the buyer and communicate safely using your normal email account or by phone.As a general safety precaution you should avoid giving your details to sites that display your telephone number or email address for buyers to contact you directly:
- it's a near guarantee that your email address will be picked up by "email address spiders" (programs that scour web pages looking for unprotected email addresses) and used by internet fraudsters and spammers; and
- it can lead to unwanted cold calling from estate agents touting for business.
Are my online payments secure?
Yes — your financial information is protected by SSL (Secure Sockets Layer 3.0) with an encryption key length of 128 bits (the highest level commercially available).We accept secure online payments to our credit card merchant account or via our PayPal account. Both accounts are administered by our third party payment service provider PayPal, the world's leading online payment service provider.
All payments are fully encrypted and we never receive sensitive financial information such as your credit or bank card details or your account number.
