Who we are: Reputable Sitters Ltd, a UK company. Contact: listening@reputablesitters.com.

What we ask for: your answers. Your email only if you tick “Keep me up to date”, which is optional; everything works without it. We don't ask your name. Please leave names and addresses out of your story; if any slip in, we remove them before anyone else reads it.

Why: to learn how sits go and what people want from an agreement, so we build the right thing. Our reason in law is our legitimate interest in that research. If you leave your email, we use it only to send occasional updates from Reputable Sitters (the results, news, and when you can try the agreement), with your consent. Unsubscribe any time.

Who sees it: only the small team at Reputable Sitters: the founder, helped by AI tools that read, count and summarise the answers. Those tools work under business terms that don't let the provider train on what you write. We never sell it or share it. We publish the results on this page for everyone: counts and short anonymous quotes, never anything that could identify you, and never for a group smaller than 30 people.

Where it's kept: on our own systems with our hosting provider, Cloudflare, stored in Western Europe. Where Cloudflare handles data outside the UK, it is protected by the UK's approved international transfer terms.

How long: we keep your email until you unsubscribe, and then delete it. We delete or fully anonymise answers within six months.

Your rights: you can ask to see or delete your answers (quote your response code), and you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk) if you're unhappy with how we've handled your data.

You don't have to answer anything you'd rather not. Nothing is decided about you from your answers.
