Cookies and local storage

We use the following cookies and browser storage:

Name Type Purpose Expires

Analytics cookies are only loaded after you give explicit consent. You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser’s local storage for app.rentgazette.com.


Who we share data with

We use a small number of infrastructure providers. Each one processes data only to the extent needed to run the service:

  • Supabase — database, file storage, and authentication. Data is stored in their managed PostgreSQL infrastructure. Supabase privacy policy.
  • Resend — transactional email (account verification, password reset). We send your email address to Resend only to deliver these messages. Resend privacy policy.
  • Vercel — hosting and serving the application. Vercel privacy policy.
  • Google Analytics 4 — only if you accept analytics cookies. Aggregated usage data (page views, events) is sent to Google. No personal account data is included. Google privacy policy.

No other third parties receive your data.


Tenant data

If you enter a tenant’s name, email address, or phone number into Rent Gazette, you are providing us with personal data about a third party. You are responsible for having a lawful basis to do so — for example, because managing the tenancy requires it. We process that data only on your behalf and only to provide the service.

Tenants who receive a shared statement link do not need to create an account. The link gives read-only access to the statement you chose to share; no additional data is collected from them.


How long we keep data

Your data is kept for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, all associated data — properties, tenants, bills, uploaded files — is permanently deleted within 30 days.

To request deletion, email hello@rentgazette.com with the subject line “Delete my account”.


Your rights under GDPR

If you are in the European Economic Area, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Access — request a copy of the data we hold about you
  • Rectification — ask us to correct inaccurate data
  • Erasure — ask us to delete your data
  • Restriction — ask us to pause processing while a dispute is resolved
  • Portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
  • Objection — object to processing based on legitimate interest

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@rentgazette.com. We will respond within 30 days. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority.


Security

Passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text. Uploaded files are stored in a private bucket accessible only to your account. All data is transmitted over HTTPS.

No security measure is perfect. If you discover a vulnerability, please report it to hello@rentgazette.com.


Changes to this policy

If we make material changes we will update the date at the top of this page and, if the changes affect how we use your data, notify you by email. Continued use of the service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance.
