Mortgage guides and tips by before-you-apply

Privacy & Data Transparency

At before-you-apply, we guide you through mortgages with clear, honest advice and helpful affiliate links. Protecting your privacy is a core part of building that trust.

How We Handle Your Information

We believe that privacy should be straightforward. Any data collected—such as through contact forms or newsletter sign-ups—is used specifically to provide the information or services you requested.

Third-Party Mortgage Broker Introductions

1. Purpose of Processing: When you complete an enquiry form on our “Speak to an Adviser” page, we act as a lead generator. The personal data you provide is collected specifically to facilitate an introduction to a qualified mortgage professional.

2. Data Sharing: By submitting an enquiry, you provide your explicit consent for Before You Apply to share your personal data with our partner mortgage broker(s). These partners are independent Data Controllers. Once your data is passed to them, their own Privacy Policy will govern how they use your information.

3. Our Partners: We share data with our designated qualified mortgage partners. We may receive a lead generation fee or commission for this introduction.

Common Privacy Questions

Do you sell my data to third parties?
No. We do not sell your personal information to general marketing companies. Data is only shared with mortgage professionals when you explicitly request an introduction.

How do affiliate links affect my privacy?
If you click an affiliate link, a cookie may be used by the provider to track the referral. This does not give us access to your private financial transactions with that provider.

How can I request my data be deleted?
You can contact us at any time to request the removal of any personal information.

Educational content, reviewed for clarity.

Compliance Disclosure: Before You Apply is a lead generator and not a mortgage broker. We do not provide mortgage advice or personal recommendations. We may receive a commission or lead generation fee for introducing you to a qualified mortgage professional. Any financial decisions should be made in consultation with a qualified adviser.
