Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Find Your Room Limited collects, uses and protects personal data when you use www.findyourroom.co.uk (the Website) or the Find Your Room app for iOS and Android (the App), together the Platform. It applies whether you are looking for care, referring someone as a professional, or listed on our directory as a provider.

1. Who we are

Find Your Room Limited is the controller of the personal data described in this policy. We are a company registered in England and Wales under company number 15932466, with our registered office at 157 Foxon Lane, Caterham, Surrey, England, CR3 5SH. Our correspondence address is Woodlands House Offices, 415 Limpsfield Road, Warlingham, Surrey, England, CR6 9HA.

We are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) under registration number ZB931938.

Our data protection contact is Nathan Coowar, who can be reached at support@findyourroom.co.uk or by post at our correspondence address.

2. What we do

Find Your Room is a national directory connecting care seekers with care providers, including nursing and residential care homes, supported living providers, home care providers and individual caregivers. We draw on information from the public Care Quality Commission (CQC) register and on information providers give us directly. Providers are added to the directory from the public CQC register, and each one either becomes a paying customer with a live listing or is removed from the directory if it declines.

We are an introduction service. We do not provide care, and we do not assess or endorse the providers listed.

3. Personal data we collect and why

Care seekers making an enquiry

Your name, email address and, if you choose to give them, your contact number and the age of the person needing care. We also collect the content of your enquiry message, including any detail you volunteer about the care needed, a record of any consent you give (see section 4), and the IP address the enquiry is sent from. We use this to pass your enquiry to the provider(s) you have asked to hear from and to keep a record of what was sent.

Care seekers with an account

If you create an account, we collect your name, email address, contact number (optional) and a password, which we store only in hashed form. We also keep your saved properties (wishlist) and your enquiry history. We use this to run your account and show you your enquiries.

Live chat

If you use our live chat, we collect your name, email address and the chat transcript, through our chat provider Tidio (see sections 7 and 9). We use this to answer your question.

Professionals using the Referral Passport

If you are a social worker, NHS discharge team member, housing officer or other professional submitting a Referral Passport, we collect your name, job title, organisation, work email address and work phone number. We use these to send your referral to matching providers and so that providers can contact you.

The Referral Passport is designed so that the person being referred cannot be identified from it. It asks for a description of their care and support needs, known risks, preferred location and funding arrangements, and it must not include their name, date of birth, address, NHS number or other identifying details. Because a description of someone's needs could still, in combination with other information, relate to an identifiable person, we treat the content of every Referral Passport as personal data and as special category (health) data. We handle it as set out in sections 4 and 5.

Care providers

We collect business and contact details from the public CQC register, including, for sole traders and partnerships, the names of the individuals registered. We also collect any further detail a provider gives us when claiming or managing a listing, including the account holder's name, work email address and phone number. Where a provider pays for a listing, payment is taken by Stripe; we do not see or store full card details. We use this data to build and maintain the directory, to contact providers about it, and to manage subscriptions and billing.

Collected automatically

Device and browser information, pages visited and cookie or local storage data. See our Cookie Policy for full detail. Non-essential cookies are only set with your consent.

4. Special category data

An enquiry message or a Referral Passport may reveal health, mobility, mental health or cognitive information about the person needing care. We do not ask for this in enquiries, but we recognise it is often necessary to describe care needs.

• Enquiries: before you send an enquiry, we ask for your explicit consent, through a separate, unticked checkbox, to our processing any health information it contains so that we can pass it to the provider(s) you have chosen. If you are sending information about someone else, you confirm that you have their agreement, or are legally entitled to act for them.
• Referral Passports: before submitting, the referring professional confirms that they have the authority to share the information and have the agreement of the person being referred (or of someone legally able to act for them) to its being shared with providers for the purpose of finding a placement.

We only use this information to match and forward the enquiry or referral. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting support@findyourroom.co.uk. Withdrawal does not affect anything already sent to a provider, but we will stop any further processing and delete what we hold, which may mean we cannot continue with your enquiry.

5. Lawful basis

Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have assessed that our interests are not overridden by yours. You can ask us for details of that assessment.

6. Where we get data from other than you

Provider data comes from the public CQC register. If we hold data about you as a provider that we did not get from you, we will tell you within one month of obtaining it, and in any event the first time we contact you. Referral Passport content comes from the referring professional, not from the person being referred.

7. Who we share data with

Care providers. When you send an enquiry or a Referral Passport, we pass it to the provider(s) you chose or that match the referral. That is the purpose of the service. Once a provider receives it, the provider is an independent controller of that data and its own privacy policy applies to how it uses it.

Service providers who process data on our behalf, under contracts that require them to protect it and use it only on our instructions:

• Amazon Web Services: hosting and file storage, UK (eu-west-2, London)
• Stripe: payment processing for provider subscriptions
• Tidio: live chat
• Google: analytics, advertising measurement and maps (only with your consent where cookies are involved)
• Microsoft (Microsoft 365 / Outlook): sending and storing enquiry and account emails

Others, only where necessary: our professional advisers; law enforcement, regulators or courts where the law requires it; or a buyer or successor if our business is sold or restructured, who would be bound by this policy.

We do not sell personal data.

8. How long we keep data

• Enquiries: kept for six months from submission. They are then pseudonymised by removing your name, email address, contact number, IP address and any other directly identifying detail, and the pseudonymised record is deleted after a further six months.
• Referral Passports: kept for six months from submission, then deleted, including the referring professional's details.
• Care seeker accounts: kept while your account is open. If you close it, or it is inactive for two years, we delete it within 30 days. Enquiries you sent follow the enquiry retention rule above.
• Live chat transcripts: kept for twelve months, then deleted.
• Provider records sourced from the CQC register that do not become paying customers: deleted within one month of the outreach decision or the provider declining, whichever is earlier.
• Paying providers: kept while listed and for six years after removal, to meet our record-keeping obligations under the Companies Act 2006 and to HMRC.

9. International transfers

Our own systems are hosted in the UK. Some of our service providers process data outside the UK:

Google and Tidio only receive data if you consent to the relevant cookie category. See our Cookie Policy.

10. Your rights

You have the right to:

• access the personal data we hold about you;
• have inaccurate data corrected;
• have your data deleted;
• restrict how we use it;
• receive data you gave us in a portable, machine-readable format, where we process it by consent or contract;
• object to processing based on legitimate interests;
• object at any time to direct marketing, in which case we will stop;
• withdraw consent at any time, without affecting processing already carried out.

We do not make decisions about you based solely on automated processing that have legal or similarly significant effects. Matching enquiries and referrals to listings is a search tool; providers make their own decisions.

To exercise any right, contact support@findyourroom.co.uk. We will respond within one month. If a request is complex or we receive several from you, we may extend this by up to two further months, and we will tell you why within the first month. We may need to confirm your identity first.

11. Marketing

We do not send marketing to care seekers unless you have opted in. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link.

12. Security

We protect personal data with encryption in transit, access controls limited to staff who need it, hashed passwords and UK-based hosting. No system is completely secure. If a breach is likely to put you at high risk, we will tell you without undue delay.

13. Who the Platform is for

The Platform is intended for adults. It is not designed for use by anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect data from children using it themselves.

14. Complaints

If you have a concern about how we handle your data, please contact us first at support@findyourroom.co.uk. We will acknowledge your complaint promptly and respond in full within one month.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint or on 0303 123 1113.

15. Changes to this policy

This policy was last updated on 28 September 2026. We will post any changes on this page, and where a change materially affects how we use your data, we will tell account holders by email.
