Privacy Policy

Last updated: 18 September 2026

Who we are / data controller

Invest Dubai Real Estate is an educational website operated by FIMCO Real Estate LLC, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. FIMCO Real Estate LLC is the data controller responsible for the limited personal information handled through this website.

For any privacy question or to exercise your rights, contact us using [email protected].

Using the site without giving personal data

This website is designed to be used without providing personal information. You can read every page, use the Decision Lab calculators and read the guides without giving your name, email, phone number or any other personal detail. The site does not run public enquiry forms, newsletter sign-up or lead-capture forms.

If you choose to contact us on WhatsApp

The one way to contact us from this site is a user-initiated WhatsApp link that you choose to click. If you start a WhatsApp conversation, the information you send us (for example your name, WhatsApp number and your message) is used to respond to your enquiry and provide any assistance you ask for. Opening WhatsApp does not first submit any form on this website. WhatsApp is provided by Meta Platforms; your use of WhatsApp is also governed by Meta's own terms and privacy policy.

What personal information we collect

• WhatsApp enquiries you choose to send — your name, WhatsApp number, and the content of your message.
• Technical / security data — IP address, browser/device information and standard server and security logs generated when any website is used.
• Analytics data — only if you accept analytics in the cookie banner (see Analytics & cookies). It contains no information that directly identifies you.

We do not ask for financial documents, identity documents or sensitive personal data through this website.

Purposes and lawful basis (UK GDPR)

We process the limited information above to: respond to and coordinate a WhatsApp enquiry you start (steps taken at your request and our legitimate interest in responding); operate, maintain and secure the website (legitimate interest); and, only with your consent, measure aggregate site usage through analytics. We do not treat consent as the basis for everything, and we do not carry out automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects about you.

No marketing enrolment

Using this website — including reading pages, using calculators or clicking the WhatsApp link — does not add you to any marketing list. We do not operate a website newsletter or automated marketing in this mode, and we do not enrol WhatsApp enquiries into marketing campaigns. If we introduce optional marketing in future, it will be separate, clearly optional and consent-based.

Analytics and cookies

You can use the whole site with only strictly-functional storage. Optional analytics (Google Analytics 4, measurement only — no advertising, no remarketing, no ad-personalisation) runs only if you accept it in our cookie banner, and no information that directly identifies you is sent to Google. No advertising or social-media tracking pixels are active on the site. Full detail — including cookie names and how to change your choice — is in our Cookie Policy.

Data sharing and processors

We do not sell your personal information. We rely on a small number of service providers acting under our instructions: our hosting/infrastructure provider and content-management platform (to run the website and keep security logs), and — only if you accept analytics — Google as our analytics processor. If you start a WhatsApp conversation, that message is handled through WhatsApp/Meta. Where your enquiry needs specialist support, relevant information may be shared with the appropriate service provider or licensed professional to action your request.

International data transfers

Some of our providers (and WhatsApp/Meta) may process information outside the UK. Where UK GDPR requires it, such transfers are protected by an appropriate safeguard (for example a UK adequacy decision or the International Data Transfer Agreement / Addendum). We do not make unsupported adequacy claims.

How long we keep it

We keep WhatsApp enquiry information only as long as needed to handle your enquiry and any resulting relationship, and for a reasonable period afterwards to meet legal and record-keeping obligations. Security and server logs are kept only for the short period needed to keep the site secure and diagnose problems. Analytics data is retained for a limited period in aggregate.

Your data-protection rights

Subject to the conditions in UK GDPR, you have the right to access a copy of your personal information; to ask us to correct or erase it; to restrict or object to processing; to data portability where applicable; and to withdraw consent (for analytics) at any time. To exercise a right, contact us using the details above. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk, though we would welcome the chance to help first.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures appropriate to the risk — including access controls, secure hosting and transport encryption. No website or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure, and we do not claim it to be.

Children

This website is intended for adults considering property, business and investment matters. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in our processing, technology or the law. The current version is indicated by the "last updated" date above.
