The short version
A plain summary. The detail below is what actually applies.
- We collect what we need to run your account, take payment, deliver your service and support you.
- We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share it with other members.
- You can ask us for a copy of your data, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to what we do with it. It is free.
- What you save inside Accelerator, including leads and deals, is yours. We hold it for you and we do not use it for anything else.
- You can stop our marketing emails at any time with the unsubscribe link, and that does not affect your service.

2. What this policy covers
This policy applies to all personal data we handle, wherever we handle it. That includes:
- our website at propertyaccelerator.co.uk;

- mentorship, the VIP programme and one-off strategy sessions, including calls, plans and messages;

3. The personal data we collect
- Identity data. Your name, the display name you choose, and the business name you use.
- Contact data. Email address, phone number, postal address where you give it.
- Account data. Login credentials, which tier or programme you are on, when your access starts and ends, and how it was granted.
- Payment data. Subscription and payment records, amounts, dates, and the last four digits and card type held by our payment provider. We never see or store your full card number.
- Service content you create. The deals, properties, portfolio figures, pipeline entries, notes, 90 day plans, goals and progress you enter into Accelerator.
- Coaching data. Notes from calls, plans and reviews, voice notes and messages between us, and call recordings where we make them.
- Branding data. Company name, contact details, logo and brand colour you add so your reports carry your branding.

- Technical data. IP address, device, browser, operating system, and cookie data.
- Communications data. Messages, support requests, bug reports and survey answers.
- Marketing data. Your preferences about hearing from us.
We do not intentionally collect special category data such as health, ethnicity, religious or political views. Please do not send us that unless we specifically ask.
4. How we collect it
- From you, when you buy, register, fill in a form, book a call, post in a community, email us or use the software.
- Automatically, through cookies and similar technologies when you use the website and the software.
- From our providers, for example payment and subscription status from Stripe, and membership status from a community platform.
5. Why we use it, and our lawful basis
The law requires us to have a lawful basis for each purpose. Ours are set out below.
| Purpose | Data used | Lawful basis |
|---|---|---|
| Creating and running your account, and giving you access | Identity, Contact, Account | Performance of our contract with you |
| Taking payment, managing subscriptions and renewals | Identity, Contact, Payment | Performance of our contract, and legal obligation for tax and accounting |
| Delivering the software and storing what you create in it | Service content, Account, Usage | Performance of our contract |
| Delivering mentorship, VIP and sessions, including notes, plans and voice notes | Identity, Contact, Coaching | Performance of our contract |
| Recording calls so you can revisit them | Coaching | Your consent, which you can withdraw at any time |
| Support, and answering your messages | Identity, Contact, Communications | Performance of our contract, and our legitimate interests in running a responsive service |
| Service and admin messages, such as renewal reminders, password resets and security notices | Identity, Contact | Performance of our contract, and legal obligation |
| Keeping the service secure and preventing misuse or fraud | Technical, Usage, Account | Our legitimate interests in protecting the service, and legal obligation |
| Improving and developing what we offer, including aggregate analytics | Usage, Technical | Our legitimate interests in improving the service |
| Marketing our products to you | Contact, Marketing | Your consent, or our legitimate interests for existing customers under the soft opt-in |
| Meeting legal and regulatory obligations, and defending claims | As needed | Legal obligation, and our legitimate interests in establishing or defending legal claims |
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have weighed our interests against your rights and can give you the detail on request. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time, as easily as you gave it; withdrawing does not affect anything we did before you withdrew.
6. Marketing
We only send marketing where we are allowed to. You can opt out at any time using the unsubscribe link in any marketing email, or by emailing us. Opting out of marketing does not affect your service, and you cannot opt out of essential service and admin messages while you hold an account.
7. Who we share it with
We do not sell your personal data. We do not share it with other members, and we do not pass it to other companies for their own marketing. We share it only with the providers who help us run the service, each acting on our instructions under a contract:
| Provider | What they do |
|---|---|
| Supabase | Database, login and file storage for the Accelerator software |
| Stripe | Payments, subscriptions and the billing portal |
| Netlify | Website and application hosting |
| Resend | Sending account and service emails |
| Skool | Hosting our community spaces and, for some memberships, billing them |
| Calendly | Booking calls and sessions |
| Google Maps | Street view imagery inside the software |
| Wistia and YouTube | Hosting and playing video content |
| Google Meet | Running video calls, and recording them where agreed |
| Meta (Facebook and Instagram) | Measuring our advertising on our website, and only if you accept advertising cookies |
We may also share data where we have to, for example with our accountants and professional advisers, or with a regulator, court or law enforcement where the law requires it. If our business is ever sold or reorganised, data may transfer to the new owner, who would be bound by this policy.
We may update this list as our providers change. The current list is always here.
8. Where your data is held
We aim to keep personal data in the UK or the European Economic Area. Some of our providers are based in, or store or access data from, the United States and other countries outside the UK.
Where data is transferred outside the UK, we rely on an appropriate safeguard, which is normally either a finding by the UK government that the country offers adequate protection, or the International Data Transfer Agreement or the UK Addendum to the European Commission's standard contractual clauses, together with any additional measures needed. You can ask us for details of the safeguard used for a particular transfer.
9. How long we keep it
| What | How long |
|---|---|
| Account, profile and the content you created in the software | While your account is active, then normally 12 months after it ends so you can come back or export it. We give you notice before deleting. |
| Payment and transaction records | 6 years after the end of the tax year they relate to, to meet HMRC and accounting requirements |
| Coaching notes, plans and call recordings | While you are on the programme, then normally 12 months |
| Support and email correspondence | Normally 24 months |
| Marketing preferences and suppression records | Indefinitely, so we do not contact you again after you opt out |
| Website analytics and technical logs | Normally up to 26 months |
We may keep information for longer where we need it to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim, or where the law requires it.
10. Data you hold about other people
Accelerator shows you property information from public registers, and it lets you save leads, deals and contacts into your own pipeline. Some of that is other people's personal data.
For the records you create and store in your own account, you are the controller and we act as your processor. We hold that data for you, on your instructions, only in order to run the service. We do not use it for our own purposes, we do not sell it, and we do not share it with other members.
The obligations we take on as your processor are set out in clause 10.3 of our Terms & Conditions, and the providers listed in section 7 act as our sub-processors for it.
What you then do with that information, including writing to owners, is your decision and your responsibility. Your obligations are set out in the Terms & Conditions. In short: have a lawful basis, tell people where you got their details, offer a way to opt out and honour it, use post rather than calls, texts or emails, and answer any request the person makes to you directly.
If someone contacts us about a letter you sent them, we will tell them we did not send it, explain where the underlying information is published, and pass their request to you so you can deal with it.
11. Your rights
You have the following rights over your personal data. Exercising them is free, and we will respond within one month, which we can extend by a further two months for complex requests, telling you if we do.
- Access. Ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Rectification. Ask us to correct anything inaccurate, or complete anything incomplete.
- Erasure. Ask us to delete your data, where we no longer need it and no legal obligation requires us to keep it.
- Restriction. Ask us to pause what we do with your data while a question about it is resolved.
- Objection. Object to processing based on our legitimate interests. You can object to direct marketing at any time and we will stop.
- Portability. Ask for the data you gave us in a machine-readable format, or ask us to send it to someone else.
- Withdraw consent. Where we rely on consent, withdraw it at any time.
- Complain. Complain to the Information Commissioner's Office, as set out in section 19.
To exercise any of these, email support@psnproperty.co.uk. We may need to confirm who you are before we act, to make sure we do not disclose your data to someone else.
12. Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies. Some are strictly necessary and are always on, because the site and the software cannot work without them. These keep you logged in, keep your session secure, and remember settings such as which view you were on.
We also run one advertising cookie on our website, the Meta pixel, which lets us see which of our adverts bring people here. It does not load until you accept it. When you first visit we ask you to choose, and declining is a single click that sets nothing. Your choice is stored in your own browser, not on our systems, and you can change or withdraw it at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer of any page. If you accept, Meta receives your IP address, the page you are on, and its own cookie identifiers, and Meta uses that information as a controller in its own right under the Meta Privacy Policy. The Meta pixel does not run inside the Accelerator software, only on this website.
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings, though the service will not work properly if you block the necessary ones.
Third parties whose content we embed, such as video players and mapping, may set their own cookies, governed by their own policies.
13. How we keep it secure
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures, including encryption in transit, access controls so members can only reach their own records, database-level security rules, and limiting who on our side can access what. We review this as the service grows.
No system is completely secure. Use a strong, unique password, do not share your login, and tell us immediately if you think your account has been accessed.
14. If something goes wrong
If there is a personal data breach, we will assess it promptly. Where it is likely to risk people's rights and freedoms, we will report it to the Information Commissioner's Office within 72 hours of becoming aware of it. Where it is likely to result in a high risk to you, we will tell you without undue delay and explain what has happened and what to do.
15. Automated decision-making
We do not make decisions about you by automated means that produce legal or similarly significant effects on you.
The software does score and rank properties automatically, for example flagging a lead as stronger or suggesting a strategy. Those calculations are about properties, not about you, and they are suggestions for your research rather than decisions about any person.
16. Children
Our services are for people aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data about children. If you think a child has given us personal data, tell us and we will delete it.
17. Other websites
Our site and software link to other websites and embed third-party content. This policy does not cover them. We are not responsible for their practices and we suggest you read their own privacy policies.
18. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our services and the law change. The date at the top shows when it was last updated. If a change materially affects you, we will tell you by email or in the app.
19. Complaints
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your personal data, tell us first at support@psnproperty.co.uk and we will try to put it right.
You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office, the UK supervisory authority for data protection:
- Website
- ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint
- Helpline
- 0303 123 1113
- Post
- Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF
We would rather hear from you first, but you do not have to come to us before you go to them.
