At Big Azul we also deploy the latest technology in terms of software for use in managing the user experience and the efficiency of the tools for our team, as well as security for data and our website, some of which access information like IP data to manage the blocking of robots and similar. If you agree to it, your data may be shared with estate agency businesses who may have properties that match your requirements.
How long we retain your data – if you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators and those working on behalf of the business can also see and edit that information.
