Privacy and terms

Plain English, because you should not need a solicitor to work out what happens to your messages. If anything here is unclear, ask and we will fix the wording.

Who runs this

House Agent is an early stage product, run by a small team in the UK. For anything about your data, email admin@aydayazdani.com and a person will reply.

What we keep

All of it lives on our own server, not a third party database.

Your messages

Every message sent in a chat House Agent is part of, including ordinary conversation, not only the ones about repairs. It needs the context to tell a problem from small talk.

Who you are

Your Telegram display name and account id. If you sign in on the website, your Google name and email address. We ask Google for nothing else, and cannot read your Gmail or Drive.

Your property and tenancy

The address, who you rent from, and anything you paste in such as a tenancy agreement. From those we keep the dates, rent, deposit scheme and reference.

Other people's details

The name, email and phone number of the letting agent, landlord, utility suppliers or tradespeople you tell us to contact. They have not signed up. We only ever use these to contact them about your property.

The record

Every case, every email in and out, every chase, every phone call, with the date it happened. This is the point of the product, so it is deliberately hard to change.

A profile of your household

A short summary rebuilt from your messages: who lives there, what keeps breaking, how your agent behaves. No health, money or relationship details.

Who else sees it

Four kinds of people and companies, and no one else. We do not sell anything to anybody.

Your agent The letting agent or landlord you nominate receives emails naming your property and the problem, signed on your behalf. Your housemates are copied on every one, so you can see exactly what was said. We never send email as you.
AI models Your messages are sent to AI providers to be read. Today those are DeepSeek, OpenAI, Google and Anthropic, depending on which is available. They process the text to work out whether something is a problem and to write replies.
Telegram The chat itself runs on Telegram, under their terms and privacy policy, not ours.
IONOS Our email is sent through IONOS, and our server is hosted with them.

Why we are allowed to hold it

Under UK data protection law we have to have a reason for each thing we do. Ours are these.

Contract Running your cases, chasing on your behalf and keeping the record. You asked us to do this, and we cannot do it without the information.
Consent Contacting anyone outside your household. Nobody is emailed until someone in the house says we may, and you can withdraw that at any time by telling House Agent to stop.
Legitimate
interests
Reading the chat so we can tell a real problem from ordinary conversation, keeping the service secure, and holding the record after you leave in case of a deposit dispute. You can object to any of this and we will look at it properly.

Where in the world it goes

Our server and our email are in Europe. The AI models that read your messages are not all in the UK or the EU.

United States OpenAI, Anthropic and Google process message text in the US.
China DeepSeek processes message text in China. It is currently the first model we try. If you would rather your messages were not processed there, email us and we will move your household onto a different set of models.
Safeguards These transfers rely on the standard contractual clauses those providers publish. We send them the text of your messages and nothing else: no account details, no payment details, and we do not let them use it to train their models where they offer that choice.

Decisions made by a machine

An AI model reads every message and decides whether to open a case, chase someone, or say nothing. It also drafts what gets sent to your agent. It does not decide anything with a legal effect on you, and a person is never replaced in a decision that matters: the emails are copied to you every time, and you can tell it to stop, correct it, or close a case with one message. If it gets something wrong, tell it, and tell us.

How long we keep it, and how to get rid of it

We keep your record for as long as you use House Agent, and for two years afterwards, because a deposit dispute can surface long after you have moved out. That is the whole reason the record exists.

You can ask us to give you a copy of everything we hold about you, correct anything that is wrong, delete it, stop using it for a while, hand it to someone else in a portable form, or object to us using it at all. Where we rely on your consent you can take it back at any time. Email admin@aydayazdani.com, say what you want, and we will do it within 30 days, apart from anything we are legally required to keep.

One honest caveat about deletion. The record is deliberately append-only, so entries cannot be quietly edited after the fact. That is what makes it worth having in a dispute. If you ask us to delete it, we delete the whole record rather than altering parts of it.

If you think we have handled your data badly, tell us first, and if we do not put it right you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.

Cookies, security, and changes

One cookie, and it is necessary

If you sign in on the website we set a single cookie to keep you signed in. There is no advertising, no analytics and no tracking of any kind, which is why you are not being asked to accept anything.

How it is protected

Everything travels over an encrypted connection. The database sits outside the public web root and cannot be reached from the internet. Access is limited to the people who run the service.

Young people

House Agent is meant for people aged 16 and over. If you believe someone younger is using it, tell us and we will remove their information.

If this changes

We will update this page and change the date at the top. If a change is significant, we will say so in your chat rather than hoping you notice.

Using House Agent

It is free at the moment

We are getting started and are not charging. If that changes we will tell you before it does, not after.

It cannot make anyone do anything

It can email your agent repeatedly and record that it did. It cannot compel a landlord to attend, and we do not promise any repair will happen.

It is not legal advice

It can tell you what your tenancy agreement says and keep a dated record. That is not the same as advice about your rights. For that, speak to Shelter, Citizens Advice or a solicitor.

It is not an emergency service

If you smell gas, ring the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999. For fire, serious flooding or danger to life, ring 999. Do not wait for House Agent.

Only with your say-so

It will not contact anyone outside your household until someone in it has said it may, and you can withdraw that at any time by telling it to stop.

Be straight with it

Do not use it to harass anyone or to report things that are not true. The record cuts both ways: it is a record of what you said as well as what they did.
