Privacy policy & cookies

Your shortlist.When you save neighbourhoods, the list is written to your browser ’s local storage so it survives a refresh. It stays on your device, is never transmitted to this site, and clearing your browser data removes it.

Your privacy choices. Your answer to the consent banner is stored locally so you are not asked on every page. This is strictly necessary to honour your preference and cannot be switched off.

This site is funded by advertising served by Google. Google is an independent data controller for the advertising it delivers.

Advertising scripts and cookies load only after you accept them. If you decline, or have not yet answered the banner, the Google advertising script is not loaded and no advertising cookies are set by it.

If you accept, Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve contextual, non-personalised ads, measure their performance, and limit how often you see the same ad. Ad selection can use the page you are viewing and a coarse location derived from your IP address, but this site asks Google not to base ads on your past activity on other websites.

You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time through Google Ads Settings, and review how Google handles data from sites that use its services in Google’s partner-sites notice and its privacy policy. Broader industry opt-outs are available at aboutads.info and Your Online Choices.

The site uses Vercel Web Analytics to count page views and see which guides are useful. It does not set analytics cookies or use a persistent cross-site identifier. It reports aggregate information such as page path, referrer, country and device type.

If you accept Anonymous analytics, Google Analytics also records a small set of finder milestones: starting and completing the finder, viewing a recommendation, changing or viewing a shortlist, sharing results, and viewing or submitting the reviewed-shortlist offer. It also records the entry page, broad source type, city, broad price band and counts of recommendations or saved areas where relevant.

Exact addresses, postcodes, salary, email address and free-text form answers are not sent to analytics. Google Analytics is not loaded until you accept that category. Testing traffic marked by the operator is labelled as internal so it can be excluded from reporting.

If the reviewed-shortlist experiment is available and you submit its form, the site sends the information you provide to the operator’s configured request receiver. This includes your email, budget, approximate workplace, travel pattern, household, moving timescale, selected priorities, deal-breakers and any areas carried over from your shortlist.

That information is used only to assess and respond to your request and, if you proceed, fulfil the review. It is not sent to analytics or sold. Enquiries that do not proceed will be deleted within 90 days; fulfilment and payment records may need to be retained longer where tax or legal rules require it.

The site is hosted by Vercel Inc., which processes requests on its infrastructure and keeps standard operational logs. See the Vercel privacy policy.

A small number of interactive features call this site’s own API. To stop those endpoints being abused, requests are rate-limited using a one-way SHA-256 hash of connection details such as IP address and browser user-agent. The hash is held in memory only, expires within minutes, is never written to a database, and cannot be reversed to identify you. The lawful basis is legitimate interests — keeping the service available.

When you search for a London place, station, street or postcode, the text you enter is sent directly from your browser to a location lookup service. UK postcodes are looked up through Postcodes.io; other searches use the OpenStreetMap Foundation’s Nominatim service. The provider receives the search text and ordinary connection information such as your IP address. Do not enter confidential information into the location box.

After a place is selected, this site’s own commute and map services receive its latitude and longitude so they can calculate results. The original search text is not stored by this site, and the coordinates are cached only as part of general route results, not against an account or user profile.

Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, and data portability, and the right to withdraw consent at any time. Because the site holds no account and no identifiable records about visitors, most requests can be answered simply by explaining what is described here.

To make a request, email dojostack@proton.me. If you are unhappy with the response, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK supervisory authority.
