Last updated: August 25, 2025
At The Zim Gwara, accessible from zimgwara.co.uk, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by The Zim Gwara and how we use it.
Consent
By using our website, you hereby consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to its terms. Where required, we will ask for your explicit consent for the use of non-essential cookies.
Information We Collect
The personal information that you are asked to provide, and the reasons why you are asked to provide it, will be made clear to you at the point we ask you to provide your personal information.
If you contact us directly, we may receive additional information about you such as your name, email address, and the contents of the message.
When you use our community features, such as the Service Directory or Property Listings, you may voluntarily provide information. This is detailed in the sections below.
Property Listings Service
Our Property Listings service is designed to connect potential tenants with landlords. To facilitate this, we collect the following information:
- For Landlords: When you submit a property listing, we collect property details (title, price, description, etc.) and your private email address. Your email address is stored securely and is never displayed publicly on the website.
- For Tenants: When you use the "Contact Landlord" form on a listing, we collect your name, your email address, and the message you write.
How We Use This Information
- The information provided by landlords is used to create a public property listing on our website, with the exception of the email address.
- The information provided by tenants is used to automatically generate an email that is sent directly to the landlord's private email address. This allows the landlord to reply to the tenant directly. We do not store the content of tenant messages after the email has been sent.
