Privacy policy
No accounts, no tracking cookies, no third-party analytics. This page says exactly what the site does record, and why.

The short version
Reading this site requires nothing from you: no account, no cookie banner, no sign-up. There is no advertising network, no third-party analytics, no session recording and no tracking cookie, and we do not build a profile of you.
You can optionally create an account — an email address and a link we send you, no password — to save buildings and to connect an AI assistant to our data. That is the only route by which we hold anything identifying, it is entirely your choice, and you can delete it yourself at any time.
What we collect
Three things from every visitor, none of which identifies you — and a fourth only if you choose to create an account:
- Server logs. Our hosting provider records ordinary request logs — IP address, timestamp, requested URL, user agent — as every web server does. They exist to keep the service running and to stop abuse, they are not joined to anything else, and they are not used to profile visitors.
- Search queries. The typeahead sends what you type to our server to look up buildings and areas. The query is normalised and cached so common terms are answered without touching the database. It is not stored against you and it is not associated with a session.
- Anonymous interest counts. When you click a price-request control we record which control, which building, which unit size and the median price shown. That record carries no IP address, no user agent, no cookie and no identifier of any kind — it is a count of interest, not a record of a person.
- Account data, only if you create an account. Your email address, which is how we send the sign-in link and how we recognise you on your next visit; the buildings you save; and a session record that holds the IP address and browser your session was opened from, so a stolen link cannot be reused indefinitely. If you authorise an AI assistant, we also store which application you authorised and what you allowed it to read. There is no password to store.
What we do not collect
We never ask for your phone number, postal address, date of birth or payment details, and we ask for your email address only if you choose to create an account. We run no advertising or analytics pixels, no session recording, no fingerprinting and no cross-site tracking, and we do not buy, sell, rent or trade personal data — not the email addresses of account holders, and not anything else.
Property data and personal information
The index is built from Dubai Land Department open data. That source is published at transaction level and we aggregate it: figures on this site are medians and counts over groups of transactions, never a named party, a title deed, a unit number or a contract.
If you believe a page identifies you or discloses something it should not, write to us and we will investigate and, where warranted, remove it.
Who else touches the data
Our infrastructure provider hosts the application and its database and therefore processes request logs on our behalf. Fonts are self-hosted and served from our own domain, so reading a page makes no request to a third-party host.
Retention
Server logs are kept for a short operational window and then rotated out. Anonymous interest counts are kept indefinitely because they contain no personal data — they are aggregate demand, and their value is in the trend.
Your rights
Under the UAE Personal Data Protection Law, and under the GDPR if you are in the EU or UK, you have rights of access, correction, erasure, restriction and objection over personal data held about you.
If you have never signed in, exercising them is unusually simple: we hold no contact record and no profile, so there is nothing to return or erase. Write to [email protected] and we will tell you honestly what, if anything, we hold.
If you have an account, what we hold is your email address, your saved buildings, your sessions and any AI-assistant authorisations. You can delete all of it yourself from your account page, which removes the record rather than deactivating it; or write to us and we will do it for you.
Children
The site is a professional reference and is not directed at children. We knowingly collect nothing from anyone under 18 — as above, we collect nothing identifying from anyone at all.
Changes to this policy
If we add anything that collects data — an analytics tool, a mailing list, an account system — this page changes before that ships, and the date above moves with it.
