5. How We Share Personal Information
Maskan Group does not intend to make personal information publicly available or disclose it indiscriminately. We may share information with the following categories of recipients when necessary and permitted by law:
Service Providers
Third-party providers that support our business operations, such as website hosting providers, email services, customer relationship management systems, analytics providers, IT support and communications platforms.
Professional Advisers
Lawyers, accountants, auditors, consultants and other professional advisers where their involvement is reasonably necessary.
Project and Business Partners
Contractors, architects, engineers, designers, consultants, developers or other project participants where sharing information is necessary for a requested service, proposed project or established business relationship.
Authorities and Legal Recipients
Government agencies, regulators, courts, law enforcement bodies or other parties where disclosure is required or authorised by applicable law, or is otherwise legally justified.
Corporate Transactions
Relevant parties involved in a merger, restructuring, acquisition, financing or transfer of business assets, subject to applicable privacy requirements.
We aim to limit disclosures to information reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose. Where third parties process personal information on our behalf, appropriate safeguards should be implemented according to the nature of the information and applicable legal requirements.
6. International Transfers of Information
Maskan Group identifies Dubai, Sydney and Toronto as its business locations. Depending on how our website, communications systems and business operations are configured, personal information may be accessed or processed in different countries.
International transfers may occur where we use service providers, coordinate cross-border projects or communicate with teams and business partners in other jurisdictions.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take steps required by applicable law to protect it. These may include appropriate contractual safeguards, access restrictions and other measures relevant to the receiving jurisdiction.
The privacy protections and legal rights available to you may differ depending on where your information is processed.
7. Data Security
We take reasonable steps appropriate to the nature of the personal information we handle to protect it against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration and disclosure.
Depending on our systems and operational requirements, safeguards may include access controls, secure communications, authentication measures, system monitoring and appropriate security practices for service providers.
However, no website, electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security.
If a personal information breach occurs, we will respond in accordance with applicable legal obligations, including any requirements to notify affected individuals or relevant authorities.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including responding to enquiries, managing projects, maintaining business records, resolving disputes and meeting legal or regulatory obligations.
Retention periods may vary according to the type of information, the nature of the business relationship and applicable legal requirements.
When personal information is no longer required, we will take appropriate steps to delete, destroy or de-identify it, where practicable and legally permissible.

We may also send marketing communications where permitted by law and, where required, with your consent.
You can opt out of promotional emails by using the unsubscribe link included in the message or by contacting us directly.
Opting out of marketing communications will not prevent us from sending essential messages relating to an active enquiry, contract, project or legal obligation.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, maps, social media platforms or other external services.
These websites and services operate under their own privacy policies and practices. Maskan Group does not control the privacy practices of independent third parties.
