We collect information that you provide to us directly and information collected automatically when you use our website. Information you provide may include your name, phone number, email address, and details about your property requirements or the property you wish to sell or let. Information collected automatically may include your device and browser type, IP address, and how you use our website, gathered through cookies and similar technologies. We only collect what we need to provide our services and respond to your enquiries.
How We Use Your Information
We use your personal data to respond to your enquiries, provide our consultancy, brokerage and property management services, arrange viewings, prepare and process transactions, keep you informed about relevant properties or updates where you have agreed to this, improve our website and services, and meet our legal and regulatory obligations. We do not use your data for purposes that are incompatible with those set out here.
Legal Basis for Processing
We process your personal data where you have given consent, where processing is necessary to provide a service you have requested or to take steps before entering into an agreement, where we have a legitimate interest in operating and improving our business that does not override your rights, or where we are required to do so by law. Where we rely on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time.
Sharing Your Information
We do not sell your personal data. We may share it with trusted service providers who help us operate our business, such as technology and marketing providers, and with developers, authorities or professional advisers where this is necessary to progress a transaction you have asked us to handle. We require anyone who processes data on our behalf to protect it and to use it only for the purposes we specify. We may also disclose information where required by law or a competent authority.

Data Security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure. While no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, we work to safeguard your information and to keep our measures under review.
Your Rights
Subject to applicable law, you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to ask us to correct inaccurate data, to request deletion of your data, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent where we rely on it.

Where your personal data is transferred outside the United Arab Emirates, for example to a service provider located abroad, we take steps to ensure it receives an appropriate level of protection consistent with applicable UAE data protection requirements.
