Privacy

No accounts, no profiles. The site has no accounts or personal profiles and sets no tracking or advertising cookies.

What your browser remembers. So you can pick up where you left off, the site stores in your browser (localStorage) the postcodes you have opened, along with the price per m² you were shown, for up to 60 days. It is used only to render “Your areas” on the home page and what has changed since. If you save homes to compare, your browser also keeps each advert’s id, its address and the asking price when you saved it, for up to 180 days or until you remove it. To show current figures, the “Saved homes” page asks our server for those homes by id, just as opening a listing does; the list itself is kept only in your browser. None of it is stored by us or sent to anyone else, and clearing your browser data removes it.

Server logs. Like any web service, the hosting infrastructure keeps standard technical logs (IP address, requested URL, timestamp) for security and debugging. They are not used to build profiles and are not shared.

Your searches. Search text is sent to the data service to answer the request and, like any web request, may appear temporarily in technical access logs together with an IP address. It is sent to neither usage analytics (Umami) nor error monitoring (Sentry) and is not used to build profiles.

The contact form. If you send a message through the contact page, we process your email address and message solely to answer it. The message is forwarded as email to the operator's mailbox and is neither stored in the site's database nor used for any other purpose; messages are retained like ordinary email correspondence, for as long as needed to handle them. Your IP address is used briefly for spam protection (request throttling) but is not stored with the message. The processing is based on answering your request.

Property data is public data. Sale prices, dates and official assessments shown here come from Iceland's public property register (HMS Kaupskrá) and other official sources — the same records anyone can obtain from the source. We display them as published and correct errors on request; see contact.

Third parties. Listing photos load directly from Vísir's image servers. When a location map nears the visible area, your browser loads map tiles from an external map provider such as CARTO or OpenStreetMap; that provider may receive your IP address, browser information and the page URL under its own terms. Opening a listing on Vísir or the larger map is subject to the relevant provider's terms. The site is hosted on Vercel (frontend) and Fly.io (data service), whose infrastructure logging applies; some processing may take place in the United States under recognized transfer mechanisms, including the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

Usage analytics. This site uses Umami — privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics — to count visits and a few interactions (valuations, filters, postcode views, language switches, shares and saves) in aggregate. It sets no cookies, and we deliberately do not send street addresses, property identifiers or your search text; coarse postcode areas may be recorded. See Umami's privacy policy.

Browser security reports. Your browser may automatically notify the site when content on a page conflicts with the site's security rules (CSP). The report goes only to the site's own data service and records which security rule was involved, the origin of the resource in question and the page path — query text and individual property identifiers are removed before anything is stored. Your IP address is used briefly for rate limiting but is not stored with the report. Aggregates are kept for at most 30 days and are used solely to tighten the site's security configuration.

Page-speed measurement. Your browser measures how quickly the site's pages load and respond (Core Web Vitals) and sends the measurements to the site's own data service: the metric's name, its value, the page path, and whether the screen is phone- or computer-sized. Individual property identifiers and query text are removed from the path before it is sent, and there it is reduced to the kind of page (for example, a postcode page) before anything is stored. No cookies are set and no identifier is used. Your IP address is used briefly for rate limiting but is not stored. Only daily totals are kept, for at most 90 days, and they are used solely to make the site faster.

Error monitoring. When a technical error occurs, an error report is sent to Sentry so it can be fixed. The report describes the error and the browser environment, and the personal data in it is deliberately minimized: no cookies are set, no IP address or user identifier is included in the error report, and URLs are stripped of search text and property identifiers before sending. See Sentry's privacy policy.

Data controller and your rights. The data controller for this site is the operator of Húsgreind. Privacy questions — including access, correction or deletion requests — can be sent through the contact page. Since the site keeps no accounts or personal profiles, there is normally no personal data to hand over or delete. You may also lodge a complaint with Persónuvernd, the Icelandic Data Protection Authority.
