Information about our clients is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share client information only as described below.

Third-Party Service Providers. We use third-party services to perform certain functions on our website. Some of these functions and services include hosting our website, sending emails, including marketing emails, and data analysis.

These third-party services and tools may have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use that information for other purposes. Information shared with these third-party services will be treated and stored in accordance with their respective privacy policies and our privacy policy.

Email Communications: By providing your email address and subscribing to our newsletter, you consent to receive relevant content, notifications, and information from us. As a result, your email address may be shared with third-party bulk email service providers solely for the purpose of sending you these communications.

Business Transfers. In the event Dubai Properties creates, merges with, or is acquired by another entity, your information will likely be transferred. Dubai Properties will send you an email or post a prominent notice on our website before your information becomes subject to another privacy policy.

Protection of Dubai Properties and Others. We release personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce or apply our terms and conditions and other agreements, or protect the rights, property, or safety of Dubai Properties, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

7.  DATA BREACH NOTIFICATIONS

In the event of a security breach that compromises the confidentiality of the personal data of our users, Dubai Properties undertakes to notify those affected in a timely manner. This notification will be made through the means of contact that have been provided by the user on our website. We will take all reasonable measures to protect the information and remedy any situation that compromises the security of your data. 

8.  INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFER

Dubai Properties may transfer users’ personal data outside the European Economic Area or your country of origin due to the use of hosting, storage and processing services provided by third parties that operate servers located in different countries. These transfers are necessary to guarantee the continuous functioning of the platform and provide an efficient user experience. Although Dubai Properties is based in the European Union, the technological infrastructure used may involve data being stored or processed in jurisdictions with data protection laws that differ from those in Europe or your country of origin.

Dubai Properties is committed to ensuring that all international transfers of personal data comply with applicable data protection regulations, including appropriate security measures to safeguard user information. This includes, among others, the implementation of standard contractual clauses, the assessment of the adequacy of data protection in the receiving country, and compliance with applicable privacy regulations in third-party services.

By using Dubai Properties, users consent to the transfer, storage and processing of their data on servers located outside their country of residence, recognizing that such transfers are necessary for the operation of the platform. Dubai Properties undertakes to take all reasonable measures to protect the integrity and security of personal data during such international transfers.

9.  PROTECTION OF YOUR INFORMATION

We grant access to your personal information only to those outside persons or services that have a legitimate need to know it and in accordance with our privacy policy. We adhere to industry-recognized security standards to protect your personal information, both during transmission and in storage. However, it is important to note that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is foolproof and 100% secure. Therefore, while we at Dubai Properties strive to implement commercially viable data protection methods, we cannot ensure absolute security of your personal information. We undertake not to sell, distribute or transfer your personal data to unauthorized third parties, unless we have your explicit consent or are required by law to do so.

Users may exercise all of these rights by contacting us via the contact information or contact page.
