Privacy

Privacy notice. SOBA respects your privacy. This notice explains what we collect and how we use it.

Who is responsible

SOBA is run by Chris Edwards. Contact: chris@soba.homes, or SOBA, Hektorovićeva ul. 2, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia. If you live in the European Union or the UK, you can also complain to your local data protection authority.

What we collect

We collect your email address when you request the free list or sign in. If you create an account, we may also hold your name, country, currency preference, buyer brief, saved homes, private notes, search requests, alerts and account activity. We record membership status and payment references, not full card details.

Agents and private sellers provide account details, contact information, home descriptions, photos and listing links. We also keep support messages, correction requests and the evidence you send. Technical records can include device and browser information, page visits, approximate location and security logs.

How and why we use it

We use this information to run your account, send requested sign-in codes and lists, provide membership features, process payments, review listings and answer questions. These uses are necessary to perform our agreement with you or respond to your request. We keep transaction records where the law requires them.

Our legitimate interests include preventing fraud, protecting the service and improving reliability. Optional analytics and marketing communications rely on consent where required. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails without closing your account.

Services that process information

Supabase stores account and site information and provides sign-in. Stripe processes payments and billing. Airtable supports our team's home and membership records. Resend is our planned delivery provider for transactional seller and agent emails; those emails are not sent through Resend until it is connected. Each provider receives only the information needed for its task.

Some providers may process information outside the EU or UK. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards, such as adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses. We do not sell your personal information.

Cookies and browser storage

Essential browser storage keeps you signed in and remembers account or currency choices. The site also uses Google Analytics to understand page visits and actions. Analytics should run only with consent where local law requires it. You can block cookies in your browser; doing so may prevent sign-in or saved preferences from working.

Sharing and retention

Private notes and buyer briefs are not public. A published seller or agent listing can show the contact details you submitted to eligible readers. We share information only with the service providers described here, where you request it, or where the law requires it.

We keep account information while you use SOBA, and for the period needed to resolve support, billing or legal matters after closure. Payment and tax records may need to be retained by law. You can request deletion of information that is no longer required.

Your EU and UK privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may ask to access, correct, erase, restrict or receive a portable copy of your information. You may object to processing based on legitimate interests and withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect earlier lawful processing. Contact chris@soba.homes; we may need to verify your identity. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.

Security, children and changes

We use access controls and reasonable safeguards, but no online service can guarantee absolute security. SOBA is intended for adults buying or selling homes, not children. We will update this notice when our practices change and notify you of material changes where required.
