Who runs this site
Rent Delusion is operated independently by The Rent Delusion collective. The operator stays anonymous but is contactable at [email protected].
What we collect
- If you create an account: a username (your choice), your email address, and a securely hashed password. We never store your password in readable form.
- If you submit a listing: the listing details and any images you upload. Images are re-encoded, which strips embedded metadata (including GPS/EXIF).
- If you subscribe to the newsletter: your email address only.
- Server logs: standard technical logs for security and reliability. We do not build advertising profiles.
We ask you not to share personal information about yourself in submissions, and to blur names, faces and phone numbers in screenshots.
What we do NOT do
- We do not sell or share your data with third parties for marketing.
- We do not use third-party advertising trackers.
- We do not require any personal data beyond a username and email to participate.
Infrastructure
The site is self-hosted and sits behind Cloudflare, which processes traffic to protect against attacks and to speed up delivery. Transactional emails (verification, newsletter confirmation) are sent through our email provider solely to deliver those messages.
Your rights
You can access, correct, or delete your data. You can delete your account and all associated submissions at any time from your dashboard - this is immediate and permanent. To unsubscribe from the newsletter, use the link in any newsletter email. For anything else, email [email protected].
Retention
We keep account and submission data until you delete it. Deleted accounts and their submissions are removed from the live database immediately.
