Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026  ·  Effective date: April 2026

We take your privacy seriously. This policy explains clearly what data we collect, why we collect it, and your rights over it. We will never sell your personal data.

1. Who We Are

Ardhi is a UAE property intelligence platform ("Ardhi", "we", "us"). We are the data controller for personal data collected through the platform. Contact us at support@ardhiuae.com for any privacy-related enquiries.

2. What Data We Collect

Account Data

When you register, we collect your email address and the password you create (stored as a secure hash — we never see your actual password). If you choose to provide your name, we store that too.

Usage Data

We log property searches, building clicks, areas viewed and features used. This helps us understand how the platform is used and improve it. Logs include timestamps, search queries and approximate location data derived from property coordinates you view — not your device's GPS location.

AI Conversation Data

When you use the AI analysis feature, your messages and the property context (building name, area, AVM value) are sent to Anthropic's Claude API to generate a response. We log the number of messages and token usage for billing and rate-limiting purposes. We do not store the full text of AI conversations beyond the current session.

Payment Data

Payments are processed entirely by Stripe. We never see or store your card details. We receive confirmation of payment status and your Stripe customer ID for subscription management only.

Technical Data

Standard server logs including IP address, browser type, device type and pages visited. Used for security, debugging and performance monitoring. Retained for 30 days.

Cookies

We use essential cookies to keep you logged in and remember your preferences. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking cookies. The cookies we set are:

6. Data Security

7. Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights, email support@ardhiuae.com. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Children's Privacy

Ardhi is not directed at children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you believe a minor has registered, contact us and we will delete the account promptly.

9. International Transfers

Your data may be processed outside the UAE by our service providers (Supabase in EU, Anthropic in USA, Stripe in USA). We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in line with UAE PDPL requirements.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify registered users by email before material changes take effect. The current version is always available at this URL.
