Privacy Policy – Maskan Arabia for Investment & Real Estate Development
Maskan Arabia for Investment & Real Estate Development is committed to protecting personal data and processing it in compliance with the Saudi Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) and its Implementing Regulations, following the principles of transparency, data minimization, and purpose limitation. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why and how we use it, the legal bases, the rights of data subjects, and how to exercise those rights.
Scope and definitions
This policy applies to all personal data collected and processed via Maskan Arabia’s website and related digital channels in the Kingdom, as well as processing outside the Kingdom relating to residents in the Kingdom under the PDPL. “Personal data” means any information that directly or indirectly identifies an individual, including names, contact details, addresses, online identifiers, and images.
Legal bases for processing
Processing relies on one or more legal bases: explicit consent where required, performance of a contract or steps at the request of the data subject, compliance with a legal obligation, or legitimate interests that do not override fundamental rights and freedoms. Where consent is the legal basis, it may be withdrawn at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Categories of data collected
- Form submissions: name, mobile number, email address, and inquiry purpose when using “Contact Us” or sales request forms.
- Technical data: IP address, browser/device type, cookie identifiers, and usage data for security, analytics, and performance improvement.
Purposes of use
We use personal data to respond to inquiries, provide proposals, manage customer relationships, and enhance services and digital content, in line with purpose limitation. Security and analytics data may be used to detect incidents, improve security, and comply with applicable technical and organizational controls.
Sharing and international transfers
We may share limited data with vetted service providers (hosting, support, analytics) under confidentiality and security obligations aligned with the PDPL. For crossborder transfers, we comply with PDPL transfer requirements, ensuring adequate protection or applying appropriate contractual and regulatory safeguards.
Data retention
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the stated purposes or to meet legal obligations, after which it is deleted or anonymized in line with data lifecycle standards. Retention periods vary by transaction type, legal obligations, and governance requirements.
Data subject rights
Data subjects have the rights to be informed, access, obtain a copy, rectify/update, and request deletion where data is no longer required, subject to PDPL exceptions. Requests can be submitted via the “Contact Us” page and will be handled within reasonable timeframes in accordance with the Implementing Regulations.
Cookies and tracking
The website uses cookies and similar technologies for essential, functional, and analytics purposes, with clear notice and preference controls where applicable. Where consent is relied upon for tracking, explicit and easily withdrawable consent will be obtained.
Information security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to reduce personal data breach risks, including encryption, access controls, logging, and periodic security testing. Measures are regularly reviewed to improve prevention and incident response.
Children
This website is not intended to knowingly collect personal data from children below the applicable legal age. Where processing is required, it will be based on guardian consents and enhanced safeguards.
Policy updates
This policy may be updated periodically to reflect legal or technological changes; the “last updated” date will be displayed prominently. Continued use of the website after publication constitutes acceptance of the updates to the extent permitted by law.
