Your data

Privacy policy

This site is sober by choice: no advertising cookies, no advertising profile. Only two measurements: our hosting provider’s anonymous traffic statistics, and the Microsoft Clarity behavioural analytics tool, loaded for every visitor on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving these pages and described below. Most of the data processed is what you entrust to us through our forms. Three technical mechanisms are added to that, described in full: the measurement of our ads, only if you accept it; a notification when you click our phone number or WhatsApp; and the loading of a video testimonial when you click its image.

What we collect and why

The information from the form (identity, contact details, elements of the project) is used to answer your request and to follow up on your project or application. Legal basis: pre-contractual measures taken at your request (Art. 6.1.b GDPR). It reaches us by email at contact@home-select.fr and is recorded in our follow-up tool, read by the hunter in charge of your project; an application and its CV are read there by the management team. Our technical providers access it for hosting, email and checking that your email and number are real, some of them from the United States, under the safeguards set by the GDPR (EU-US Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses of the European Commission). It is neither sold nor passed on.

The form on the referral page lets an individual or a professional (the referrer) introduce to Home Select someone who is looking to buy a property. On the referrer, Home Select collects: first name, last name, email, phone and, for a professional, their company; on the person introduced: first name, last name, the areas they are searching, their budget and, if the referrer provides them, their email and phone. Where the page was sent by one of Home Select’s hunters, their name goes with the request and that hunter is informed. The data of the person introduced does not come from them but from the referrer, who confirms in the form that this person agrees to be put in touch. In line with Article 14 of the GDPR, we tell this person at our first contact where their data came from (the referrer, by name), why we hold it (to contact them about their property project), the legal basis (our legitimate interest in following up a recommendation, Art. 6.1.f GDPR) and their rights, including the right to object at any time. Their data is erased without delay if they object and, if nothing comes of it, within the period given below for a request that goes no further.

Rental requests

A rental request is reviewed on the basis of the answers you give in the form: employment, the applicants’ net monthly income, the guarantee you plan to offer, moving-in date and the rent you are looking for. They are compared with the criteria landlords apply (income-to-rent ratio, stability of income, guarantee): a meeting is offered when the file matches what landlords expect, and a written reply is sent when the search cannot succeed as it stands, after a review by Home Select’s rental hunter or at the latest twenty-four business hours after your request. No criterion relating to origin, nationality, age, family situation, health or any other characteristic protected by article 225-1 of the French Criminal Code is used. You can obtain a review of the reply by a person, express your point of view and contest it by writing to contact@home-select.fr (Article 22 GDPR). Legal basis: pre-contractual measures taken at your request (Art. 6.1.b GDPR). A request that does not lead to an assignment is erased after three months.

Measuring our ads, with your consent

If you arrive through one of our ads or campaigns, a banner asks whether you agree to us measuring how well it works. Without your consent, nothing is remembered and nothing is passed to an ad network: your enquiry reaches us with no indication of where you came from. If you accept, your browser keeps, for the duration of your visit only and in its session storage (not in a cookie), the campaign parameters present in the address (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_term, utm_content, gclid, fbclid, msclkid, wbraid, gbraid), the landing page and the site you came from; they accompany your enquiry or your contact click. If you arrived through a Google ad, the identifier of that click (gclid) is recorded in our follow-up tool and then passed to Google Ads (Google Ireland) on its own, without your name or contact details: this tells Google that its ad brought an enquiry. Legal basis: your consent (Article 82 of the French Data Protection Act, Art. 6.1.a GDPR). Your choice is kept in your browser for six months if you declined and thirteen months if you accepted; you can change it or withdraw your consent at any time through the “Ad measurement” link at the bottom of every page. We build no advertising profile.

If you click our phone number or a WhatsApp button, an email tells us the channel chosen, the page you were on and the country of connection, with no further detail; where you came from only appears if you accepted ad measurement, and no information about your device is collected. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in answering a contact quickly (Art. 6.1.f GDPR).

Traffic statistics and behavioural analytics

Our hosting provider measures site traffic anonymously: no cookie is set, no lasting identifier is kept, and these statistics cannot recognise you from one visit to the next. To this is added Microsoft Clarity (Microsoft Corporation, United States), loaded for every visitor on the basis of our legitimate interest in understanding how these pages are actually used (Art. 6.1.f GDPR): heatmaps, scroll maps and session recordings, serving only to improve the site, never used for advertising and never receiving the data you entrust to us. For this, two cookies are set in your browser: _clck (identifier, one year) and _clsk (session, one day). You may object to this measurement at any time by refusing clarity.ms cookies in your browser settings.

What your browser keeps beyond the visit

Three settings survive closing the tab. Your choice about ad measurement, kept for six or thirteen months as explained above. The draft of your form (name, email, phone, answers in progress), kept for twenty-four hours in your browser’s local storage so you do not have to retype everything; it disappears on sending or after twenty-four hours. Your currency preference, kept with no expiry since it only drives how prices are displayed; it is never sent. The two cookies of the behavioural analytics tool described above also survive closing the tab: _clck (one year) and _clsk (one day), carrying no browsing content. Apart from these measurement identifiers, none of these items leaves your browser without your action, and you can clear all of them at any time from your browser settings.

Processors and transfers outside the European Union

Vercel Inc. (United States) hosts the site, runs its server functions and produces the anonymous traffic statistics, under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework backed by standard contractual clauses. OVH SAS (France) delivers the site’s emails and hosts the contact mailbox. Microsoft Corporation (United States) provides the behavioural analytics tool described above, under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Google Ireland and Google LLC (United States) are involved only for the advertising identifier described above, with your consent, and for the video testimonials: the videos are hosted on YouTube and load only after a click on their image; YouTube may then set its own trackers, which we do not control. Enquiries are finally recorded in our internal follow-up application (hub.homeselect.paris), operated for the same data controller and hosted by Vercel and Supabase (United States and European Union, same safeguards). No data is sold, rented or passed on to any other recipient.

Retention period

Three years after our last exchange for a request that does not go ahead; three months for a rental request that does not lead to an assignment; five years after the end of our assignment for a client, as French anti-money-laundering law requires; three months after our decision for an application and its CV; 90 days for the identifier of a contact click that came from an ad.

Your rights

You have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection (Articles 15 to 21 GDPR), the right to withdraw your consent to ad measurement at any time, and the right to set instructions for your data after your death. To exercise them: contact@home-select.fr or by post to the registered office (60, rue François 1er, 75008 Paris). We reply within one month. You may refer the matter to the CNIL, the French data protection authority (cnil.fr).
