Lands in Lebanon (“Lands in Lebanon,” “We,” “Us,” and “Our”) is committed to
protecting and respecting your privacy when providing information and support
related to purchasing land in Lebanon (“Services”). We have developed this
Policy to help you feel confident about the privacy and security of your
personal information in connection with our Services and to clarify some of your
rights.
This Policy (together with our terms of use and any other documents referred to
on it) explains the basis on which any personal data we collect from you through
our Enquiry Form or any other means during our interactions will be processed.
Please read this Policy carefully to understand our practices and how we will
use your personal information. By using our site and our Services, you consent
to the use of your information as outlined in this Policy. If you do not agree,
please refrain from using our site.
To provide our Services, we may collect and process the following personal data
about you:
Information you provide (including details about yourself, your associates, or
partners) by filling out the Enquiry Form and other sections on our site. This
includes information provided at the time of registering to use our site,
requesting property information, posting material, or seeking additional
services from your Lands in Lebanon contact, as well as any information
collected during appointments, site visits, or phone calls.
We may request information from you when you participate in a promotion or
survey, or if you report an issue with our site.
If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence for quality and
customer service purposes.
We may also ask you to complete surveys that we use for research purposes,
though responding to them is optional.
Details of transactions you carry out on our site and any agreements you make
for land purchases, including third-party arrangements or services involved in
facilitating these transactions.
Information about your visits to our site, including traffic data, location
data, weblogs, and other communication data, whether needed for our own analysis
or otherwise, as well as the resources you access.
We may collect details about your device, including (when available) your IP
address, operating system, and browser type, for system administration and to
report aggregate information to our advertisers. This is statistical data about
our users’ browsing actions and patterns and does not identify any individual.
If you provide us with information about another person, you should have their
consent, and they should also review this Policy.
We periodically review your personal information to ensure it is not kept longer
than permitted or necessary to support our business.
The data we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a location
outside the European Economic Area (“EEA“). It may also be processed by staff
operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers. Such
staff may be engaged in, among other things, fulfilling property requests,
processing payment details, and providing support services. By submitting your
personal data, you agree to this transfer, storage, or processing. We will take
all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and
in accordance with this Policy.
All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Any payment
transactions will be encrypted using SSL technology. If you have been given (or
have chosen) a password to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible
for keeping this password confidential. We ask that you do not share it with
anyone to prevent unauthorized access to your data or business transactions.
All the information you provide will be held in the strictest confidence and
used solely for the purposes described in this Policy.
Due to the nature of the internet, online information transmission is not
entirely secure. Although we strive to protect your personal data in accordance
with industry standards, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data
during transmission to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we
receive your information, we will apply strict procedures and security measures
to help prevent unauthorized access.
We use the information provided to us in the following ways:
To deliver our Services and provide you with information about available land
properties, managed listings, or properties from our trusted third-party
affiliates. We may also provide details about related services that could be of
interest to you based on your preferences indicated in our Enquiry Form.
We may send you additional information about land listings, including
newsletters, exclusive offers, or reminders. This automated service is a
condition of using our site and Services.
We may share your information with third parties (including landlords, real
estate agents, and property managers) who offer land properties that match your
specific inquiry. This is part of our automated service and a condition of using
our site and Services.
We may share your information with businesses providing related services,
such as landscaping, construction, or legal assistance for property

independent data controllers, if you prefer not to be contacted per their
privacy policies.

quality assurance, training, and to protect you and us from unauthorized access
or misuse of our Services.
We may disclose your personal information to any member of our group for any
purposes outlined in this Policy. We may also disclose your personal information
to third parties:
If we sell or buy any business or assets, or receive an investment, in
which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective buyer/seller or
