If you fill in an online form, or bid for a home online, the information you give will be processed (which means it is obtained, recorded, held and organised) and used as part of the rehousing process by the relevant Manchester Housing Register landlord.
The online rehousing registration form is used to: start your rehousing registration; assess the type of property you would be suitable for; help decide your level of rehousing priority.
The information will go to the relevant Manchester Housing landlord. The landlord will use it as an application to register for rehousing. The information sent online will be converted to ‘case papers’ by the particular landlord that handles your application. The information will be held securely and treated confidentially. You have the legal right to see your rehousing application file. Contact the relevant landlord for information about how to do this.
Manchester Housing landlords may use data from an online form to help build statistical information about rehousing needs and demands - this statistical information will not describe individual cases, or list individual applicants.
The landlords will only disclose the information you give to certain relevant people or organisations as part of the rehousing process – such as other organisations who are part of the Manchester Housing Register; Health Authorities; the Probation Service; MPs; and other housing authorities including elected members and board members. If we need to talk to other people or organisations about the information, we will get your permission first. You can give or deny this permission in the relevant part of the form.

We collect IP addresses
