• property information (segment, property type, area and unit of measurement, scope of work, and project timeline);
• records of the consent you provide.

With your consent, we also collect website analytics information, including pages viewed, UTM parameters, referrer information and landing pages.

We do not intentionally collect special categories of personal data.

Legal basis

We rely on the following legal bases:

• Handling your enquiry and preparing a quotation — pre-contractual steps taken at your request. On this basis we respond to your request, prepare a quotation, communicate with you regarding your project and, where applicable, enter into and perform a contract with you.

How we use your information

We use your information to:

• respond to your enquiry;
• prepare quotations;
• communicate with you regarding your project;
• deliver our services;
• improve our website and marketing performance (where you have given consent).

We will only send marketing communications where you have requested them or where permitted under applicable law.

How long we keep it

We retain enquiry information for 24 months from your last communication with us, after which it is securely deleted.

Records of your cookie consent and analytics preferences are retained until you withdraw your consent or as otherwise required for compliance purposes.

Cookies and analytics

Analytics and advertising technologies, including Google Analytics 4 and Meta Pixel, are activated only after you accept them through our cookie banner.

You may decline optional cookies and continue to use the website without restriction.

You may also change your cookie preferences at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer of this website.

We do not sell your personal data.

We share information only with trusted service providers that help us operate our website and respond to enquiries, including:

We may engage additional service providers from time to time where necessary to operate our business. This policy will be updated where required.

International transfers

Some of our service providers process information outside the United Arab Emirates, including in the United States (Vercel, Google and Meta) and the European Union (Resend).

Where personal data is transferred internationally, we rely on appropriate contractual, organisational and technical safeguards provided by those service providers.

Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, including encrypted transmission (HTTPS), secure hosting and access controls designed to limit access to authorised personnel only.
