Privacy Policy

• Your account: your e-mail address, the name you give us (optional), when you joined and how you sign in. If you use Google, we receive your name, e-mail address, profile photo and Google account ID from Google; never your Google password. Your photo is shown only to you, next to your account menu.
• What you save: saved homes, hidden homes, saved searches with their alert settings, and the homes you recently viewed.
• Signed-in devices: for each device, the browser and system it reports, its IP address and when it was last used, so you can see and end sessions in Account settings.
• Sign-in codes: a one-way hash of each code we e-mail you, from which the code can't be recovered, with the time and IP address of the request.
• Security logs: IP address, browser and pages requested, which we use to keep the site working and to stop abuse and automated copying.
• If you list a property: your seller profile (name, type of seller and phone number, and for an agency or developer, its agents' names and numbers), the property's exact location and address, its details, photos and price, and what you choose to show on the listing.
• Messages: the messages you send and receive through Darna.
• Reports: what you tell us is wrong with a listing, and your e-mail address if you leave it to hear back. The lister never sees who sent a report.

We don't ask for or store passwords.

• To run your account and keep what you save in sync across your devices (our agreement with you).
• To send sign-in codes, and the alerts and updates you turn on (our agreement with you).
• To review and publish your listings, and to pass messages between people and listers by the contact option the lister chooses (our agreement with you).
• To check and fix the listings people report, answer them and credit their reports (our legitimate interest in accurate listings).
• To protect Darna and its users from fraud, abuse and scraping (our legitimate interest).
• To send news and market reports, only if you opt in (your consent, which you can withdraw at any time).
• To understand how Darna is used (which pages and features people use, and where visits come from), from counts and totals that don't identify you (our legitimate interest). See section 6.

Only the service providers that run Darna for us, under contract, for these purposes:

• Microsoft Azure: hosting, database and e-mail delivery, in data centres in the European Union.
• Microsoft Azure OpenAI: to suggest a description for a listing and sort its photos, from the photos and details the lister adds.
• Cloudflare: network, security and the Turnstile check that tells people from bots.
• Google: if you choose to sign in with Google, and Google Analytics, which counts visits and how the site is used.
• Meta (WhatsApp): if a lister chooses WhatsApp, to send them messages and verification codes on WhatsApp.

When you contact a seller, landlord, agent or developer, the details you send go to them. We may also disclose data when Lebanese law requires it. Your saved homes and searches are private: other people and sellers can't see them. A listing shows only what its lister chooses to show, and the lister's phone number only if they choose to show it.

• Account data and what you save: until you delete your account.
• Sign-in codes: deleted within a day.
• Signed-in devices: until you sign out, or after 60 days without use.
• Listings, their photos and messages: until the listing or your account is deleted.
• When you delete your account we remove its data from our live systems straight away; it drops out of our encrypted backups as they expire, within 35 days.

• See and change your name and e-mail settings, and sign out of devices, in Account settings.
• Delete your account and everything saved with it, in Account settings.
• Ask for a copy of your data, a correction, or to object to how we use it, by writing to us.
• Stop news e-mails with the link in each e-mail or in Account settings.

Darna uses what it needs to work, plus visit counting:

• a sign-in cookie that keeps you signed in (up to 60 days, renewed while you use Darna);
• a short-lived cookie while you sign in with Google (10 minutes);
• Cloudflare's security cookies, which help block bots;
• your browser's local storage, for homes you viewed while signed out and the e-mail address you last signed in with;
• Google Analytics cookies (named _ga, kept up to 2 years), which count visits and the pages and features used. Google receives the pages you view, your device and browser type, and an approximate location from your IP address, never your name or e-mail address.

We also count visits with our own analytics, hosted by us, which sets no cookies and keeps no IP addresses. We don't use advertising cookies.

Darna isn't meant for children, and you need to be 18 or older to create an account.

If we change this policy in an important way we'll update the date above and tell account holders by e-mail. Questions or requests: [email protected]. See also our Terms of Use.
