Information you provide via the enquiry form:

• Full name (required)
• Email address (required)
• Phone number (optional)
• Type of space you are interested in (required)
• Any additional message or requirements you choose to share (optional)

Information collected automatically:

• When your browser loads this page it makes standard HTTP requests (IP address, browser type, referring URL, date and time of visit) that may be logged by our hosting and infrastructure providers in the ordinary course of operating their networks. We do not directly collect or store server access logs ourselves.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information you submit through the enquiry form solely to:

• Respond to your enquiry about available commercial spaces
• Provide you with availability information, pricing, and viewing schedules
• Follow up on your expressed interest in leasing a space at the estate

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with any third party for marketing purposes. We do not send unsolicited commercial messages.

The legal basis for processing your enquiry data is your consent, given when you voluntarily complete and submit the contact form.

4. Third-Party Services

This website uses a small number of third-party services to function correctly. Each service has its own privacy policy and may process certain data independently of us.

Cloudflare

We use Cloudflare to protect our contact form from automated bot submissions. Cloudflare may collect your IP address, browser characteristics, and interaction signals to determine whether you are a human visitor. Your form submission is processed by a Cloudflare, which handles routing the enquiry to our team. Cloudflare operates under its own Privacy Policy.

Google Fonts

This website loads the "Plus Jakarta Sans" typeface from Google Fonts. When your browser requests the font files, Google's servers receive your IP address. Google operates under its own Privacy Policy.

Google Maps

Our location section embeds a Google Maps iframe showing the estate address. If you interact with the map, Google may collect data including your IP address and location data in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal information submitted through the enquiry form for as long as is necessary to respond to your enquiry and, if a tenancy is established, for the duration of the commercial relationship and any legally required period thereafter.

If your enquiry does not result in a tenancy, we will retain your contact details for no longer than twelve (12) months, after which they will be securely deleted or anonymised.

6. Your Rights

Under the Tanzania Personal Data Protection Act, 2022 and applicable data protection principles, you have the right to:

• Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Rectification — request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
• Erasure — request that we delete your personal data where we no longer have a lawful basis to retain it
• Restriction — request that we limit how we use your data in certain circumstances
• Objection — object to our processing of your data
• Withdrawal of consent — withdraw your consent at any time; this does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in Section 10. We will respond within thirty (30) days.

7. Data Security

Enquiry data submitted via the contact form is transmitted over an encrypted HTTPS connection and processed through Cloudflare's infrastructure. We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. External Links

This website embeds content from third-party services (Google Maps and Google Fonts). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those services; their policies are linked in Section 4 above.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
