Who we are

Newtown is run by Newtown.ie, based in Ireland. We are the data controller for the information you give us. You can contact us at hello@newtown.ie.

What we collect

Register interest: your email address.
Register your home: your home address, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, when you hope to move, what you are looking for, and your email address.
How you found us (for example, which ad you clicked), and the date you registered.

Why we use it, and our legal basis

To tell you about Newtown when it opens near you (your consent, given when you register).
To look for possible home swaps and contact you about them (your consent, given with the tick box).
To see which of our ads work, so we can spend sensibly (only if you accept advertising cookies).

We never publish your address. We share details with another household only after both of you agree to be introduced.

Where it is stored

Registrations are stored in a database hosted by Supabase in the EU (Ireland). The website is hosted by Netlify. Our email is provided by Microsoft 365. These providers process data on our behalf.

Cookies

The site sets no advertising cookies unless you click Accept on the cookie banner. If you accept, Google Ads cookies help us measure which ads lead to registrations. You can change your choice at any time using "Cookie settings" at the bottom of the home page.

How long we keep it

We keep your details while you are looking for a swap, and delete them within 24 months of our last contact with you, or sooner if you ask.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete your details, withdraw your consent, or unsubscribe at any time by emailing hello@newtown.ie. You can also complain to the Data Protection Commission at dataprotection.ie.

Important

Newtown helps households find each other. We are not an estate agent, solicitor or financial adviser, and we don't give legal or financial advice. Each household should use its own solicitor for any swap.
