We firmly believe in the importance of protecting visitors to our website and any personal information they provide us with. We take the privacy of our user seriously and have outlined our policy below. If you have any questions about our use of personal data or this privacy policy please contact us at contact@ecosrch.com

This Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) describes the manner in which ecosrch.com and affiliates (“we”, “us”, or “our”, as the context requires) collects information from you on our website (the “Site”) and how we use and maintain that information. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Site.

1. Information We Collect About You

We only collect information which is necessary to provide our service to you. We will not keep your personal data for longer than necessary to provide the Service or as required by law.

Personally identifiable information.

We only collect personally identifiable information provided by you when you sign up to our email newsletter, request a comparison or a quotation service or request a call back from a professional adviser, for example, a mortgage broker. The information collected may include your name, email address and telephone number. In addition, you may also be asked to provide further details relating to the specific product you wish to be contacted about. This will only be used for the purpose specified and to fulfil your request. We will collect personally identifiable information from you only if you voluntarily submit such information to us. You can always refuse to supply personally identifiable information, except that it may prevent you from receiving the service you are interested in. You can unsubscribe from our email service at any time and can request that we change or remove the data we hold about you at any time.

If you click through to one of the many third parties within our comparison tables or advertising, any information you provide to them will be held by them in accordance with their own policies and applicable legislation, and you will need to contact them directly.

Non-personally identifiable information.

We may collect non-personally identifiable information about you when you visit and interact with the Site. Non-personally identifiable information may include browser information, device information (such as hardware model and operating system), log information (such as details of how you used the Site and IP address), geographical location, cookies and anonymous identifiers.

2. Disclosure To Third Parties

When making an enquiry about a particular product or service on the Site, you will be asked to agree to have your information onto a specialist third party adviser we have partnered with and who will contact you via phone and/or email to help you with your enquiry.

We will not pass or sell your details on to third party companies purely for marketing purposes. Where we pass on your details to a third party company we will only do this if it makes explicit sense pertaining to your enquiry and those companies will only use your details to help you in the manner requested by you.

Occasionally the advisers we work most closely with will exceed their capacity in busy periods and around holidays etc. On such occasions, your enquiry will be passed to a different adviser. This will be communicated to you via the send enquiry forms. You will be prompted on the enquiry form, pre-submission, to click on the Terms & Conditions and read their privacy policy and terms of service, and you should only enquire once having read and agreed to these.

We will never share your personal details with anyone it is unnecessary to do so with, whether inside or outside the company unless we have your explicit consent to do so or are obliged to by law.
