5. Confidentiality of Business and Property Information
Sthalam recognises that real estate advisory engagements may involve commercially sensitive information relating to landowners, property holdings, development proposals, negotiations, valuations, transaction structures and prospective investments.
Information submitted through the website will be handled with reasonable care. However, a general website enquiry or email should not be treated as a secure confidential document exchange facility.
Confidentiality obligations relating to a specific advisory assignment shall be governed by the applicable engagement agreement, confidentiality agreement or other written undertaking.
Please contact us before transmitting highly confidential documents if a secure method of exchange is required.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to enquiries, maintaining business records, performing contractual obligations, resolving disputes and complying with applicable law.
Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and the relevant legal or business requirements.
When information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete it or otherwise dispose of it securely, subject to applicable legal obligations and legitimate record-retention requirements.
7. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures appropriate to the nature of the information we handle to protect it against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss or misuse.
However, no website, electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Users should exercise appropriate care when transmitting information over the internet.
8. Your Privacy Rights and Requests
Subject to applicable law, you may request information about the personal data we hold about you, seek correction or updating of inaccurate information, request deletion where legally permissible, or withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
You may also raise a concern or complaint about our handling of personal information.
We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. Certain information may need to be retained where required by law or necessary for legitimate legal purposes.
