Privacy Policy
Protecting your personal data is very important to us. We are fully committed to respecting all applicable laws and regulations on the protection of personal data, including, but not limited to, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
This Privacy Notice explains which information we may process about you, how we use such information, and with whom we share it.
1. Who are we?
We are Spotable BV, a company with registered office at Lentedreef 4, 8520 Kuurne, Belgium, and registered in the Belgian Crossroads Bank for Enterprises under number BE 1008.603.030.
We are responsible for determining why and how your personal data is processed and therefore act as the data controller for such processing activities.

2. Which personal data do we collect and how do we use it?
(i) Property data processed when a real property is listed (end users)
When a real property is listed on a public real estate website, we automatically collect property-related data using a technique called web scraping.
The collected data may include the following information, some of which may constitute personal data:
- Property information: sold date, property type, price
- Building details: EPC score, plot size
- Outdoor features: pool presence, garden area
- Indoor features: internet connection presence
We only collect data relating to real property. We do not collect personal data relating to the property owner other than the data linked to the real property itself.
Purpose and legal basis
We process this property data based on our legitimate interest in efficiently linking sold properties to suppliers and or service providers who may offer relevant products or services to new property owners. This enables suppliers to send postal marketing messages only.
Because:
- we only facilitate postal marketing,
- we do not process any additional personal data,
- and the marketing is relevant to a recently purchased property,
we believe this processing does not disproportionately interfere with your right to privacy.
Further information on the balancing test performed can be found in our Legitimate Interest Assessment, available upon request.
Opt-out
You may opt out of our data processing activities at any time by emailing sebastien@spotable.be.
You may also opt out of receiving postal marketing more generally by registering your address on the Robinson List (Robinson Lijst).

3. With whom do we share your data?
We share property data related to a specific property with our B2B clients as part of our services. Once received, these clients act as independent data controllers. We encourage you to consult their respective privacy notices for further information.
Your personal data may also be shared with external service providers acting as data processors on our behalf, such as IT providers. Appropriate data processing agreements are in place to ensure adequate protection.
Your data may also be shared with other group companies.
We do not share personal data with third parties unless legally required, for example due to statutory obligations or court or government orders.

If such transfers become necessary, we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or your explicit consent.
