We understand and respect your concerns about privacy and security, and endeavor to protect your personal privacy, while providing a convenient and safe online experience. This Privacy Notice is incorporated into, and part of the Terms and Conditions of Use that govern your use of www.goldenkey.qa (the Site) in general. We may need to update this Privacy Notice from time to time, and we reserve the right to do so at our sole discretion and without notice. We recommend that you check this page regularly to ensure that you have read the most recent version.

By providing your personal information to us, you signify your acceptance of our Privacy Notice and agree that we may collect, use, and disclose your personal information as described within this Notice. If you do not agree to this Notice, please do not provide your personal details to us. We will use your information only for the purposes set for the below.

Personal Information

Personal information is information about an identifiable individual, including name address, email address, telephone number, and other identifying information as defined by applicable law. It is your choice to provide us with personal information. When you register for an Account, you will be asked to provide us with certain personal information, such as name, address, email address, telephone number, information regarding the type, price, location, and features of a specific or desired property, and/or other personal information. You may also voluntarily provide us with personal information if you email us, inquire about a property, call us, and/or otherwise respond to a request from us for information.

We may use personal information collected from you to provide specific services that you request, as well as to provide additional services that may be of interest to you. We may also automatically collect certain information concerning your visit to the Site, such as you Internet Protocol address and browser information, which will allow us to track your use of the Site.

Subject to the terms of this Policy, you permit us to use personal information in any manner we desire. Some examples of how we may use personal information include without limitation, to contact you, to identify your search preferences, and/or to respond to your comments and inquiries.

We may use a third party to help us gather and analyze information regarding your use of the Site. We may also consult with a third party in order to improve or enhance Site performance and/or to help us evaluate information. We may combine information that you provide or that we collect with other publicly available information, in order to maintain the accuracy of our records.

We reserve the right to retain any personally identifiable information reasonably necessary to appropriately analyze or document our business activities and for archive and retention purposes. We will store personal information for as long as is reasonably necessary for any reason described herein.

Disclosure of Personal Information

We will not sell personal information to unaffiliated third parties for commercial use. However, we may share personal information with third parties as set forth below:

• One or more of our real estate brokers, agents, and/or affiliates to service you;
• Our associates, partners, or related companies in the real estate industry, such as a real estate management company, if we believe it may interest or be of service to you. 
• Third parties who perform services for us or with whom we contract for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. For example, we may use third parties to host the Site, conduct customer research, manage and analyze data, send emails, and/or print or send mailings. These third-party service providers are not authorized by us to use or disclose your personal information for their own or any others' marketing purposes;
• When Client provides (“refers”) a Lead to Localize that includes a telephone number, Client represents, covenants, and warrants that Client or a third party has obtained from the owner of the telephone number a valid prior express written consent to be called and texted by or on behalf of Client under all applicable telemarketing laws such as the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”)—such as a signature agreeing that “I voluntarily consent to receive text messages and calls from or on behalf of Client and its service providers at my telephone number, including messages and calls sent or initiated through automated means. I understand that these communications may include marketing and related content and that consent is not a condition of any purchase.” The client should consult with their own counsel about the exact requirements and language necessary for valid consent and agrees that the above language is not necessarily legally sufficient. If the owner of a telephone number or the customary user of a telephone number requests that calls or texts no longer be sent to the phone number, the Client agrees to comply and to notify Localize immediately.
• Owners and sponsors of listings on our Site or of other properties who may seek to sell or lease their properties through us;
• A person or entity, including our affiliates, in the event of a sale, merger, consolidation, change in control, transfer of substantial assets, financing, reorganization, or liquidation whereby we transfer, sell, or assign to such third party information concerning your relationship with us, including without limitation, personally identifiable information that you provide and other information concerning your relationship with us;
• Third parties who, in our reasonable judgment, are providing or seeking the information as your authorized or appointed legal agent; and
• Law enforcement, governmental or regulatory agencies, or other third parties in order to comply with applicable law, or where we believe such action is necessary in order to comply with applicable law, or to detect, protect, or defend us and/or other third parties against error, negligence, breach of contract, theft, fraud, or other illegal or harmful activity, to comply with our audit and security requirements, or to audit compliance with our corporate policies, procedures, legal, or contractual obligations
