BostadsZonen’s core area is to mediate the contact between tenants and landlords. It is therefore necessary that we obtain information about our users in order to facilitate the dissemination and provide the best service. We do this to ensure that we can help housing seekers find a rental housing, and landlords to rent out their housing. Just like our related services, such as templates or services, which help the users to e.g. find the right housing match. All this requires that we obtain a range of information about the users who uses our service.
