Last Updated: June 8, 2026

1. What We Collect

Things you give us directly:

  • Account info and forms: We collect your name, email, and phone number when you sign up or ask about a specific property.
  • Your search choices: We keep track of your property preferences—like your budget, locations you want, property types, and size needs.
  • Your messages: We store the chats and messages you send to agents or companies right through our system.
  • Professional info: If you register as a pro, we collect your profile details, work credentials, and property listings.
  • ID checks: Sometimes formal real estate deals require extra security. If needed, we might ask for identity verification documents.
  • Payment details: If you buy a subscription plan, our third-party payment processors handle the billing details securely. We never store or see your credit card numbers on our own servers.

Things our system picks up automatically:

  • Your IP address and the general city you are logging in from.
  • The type of phone or computer you use, your web browser, and your operating system.
  • What you do on the site—like pages you visit, homes you look at, searches you run, and features you click on.
  • Where you came from before landing on our site, and how long you stayed.

Info from other places:

If you log in using social media, or if an agent invites you to the platform, we might get basic profile details from them. We protect that data just like the rest.

2. How We Use It

We use your data to run Makeen and keep it running safely. Here is what that looks like:

  • Providing the service: We use your info to match you with properties and agents, save your settings, and help you talk to other users.
  • Alerts: If you allow, we will send you updates about new property listings through email, SMS, or WhatsApp.
  • Safety and security: We use data to verify real estate pros, catch fake listings, stop hackers, and look into user complaints.
  • Staying in touch: We use your contact details to reply to your support questions, send system alerts, or email you our market reports if you asked for them.
  • Following Pakistani law: We use and keep data to stay compliant with local laws, including the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) 2016 and upcoming local data regulations.

We never use your data for targeted behavioral ads, tracking you across the web, or making automated choices that impact your legal rights.

3. When We Share Your Data

We don’t sell, rent, or trade your personal information with outside companies.

Your info only goes to others in these exact situations:

  • To connected agents: When you fill out a form to ask about a home, you are asking us to pass your details along. We send your name, phone number, and email to the verified agent or firm listing that property so they can call or message you back.
  • To our tech vendors: We use a few trusted companies to help us run things—like cloud hosting, text messaging networks, email delivery, and analytics tools. They all sign strict privacy agreements and can only use your info for the exact job we hire them to do.
  • For legal reasons: We will hand over data if a Pakistani court or government authority demands it under a valid law, like PECA 2016. If the law allows it, we will try to tell you before we share anything.
  • Business changes: If Makeen ever merges with another company or gets bought out, your data will move to the new owner. We will send an email to registered users before this happens, and the new team has to follow these same rules.

4. How Long We Keep It

We only hold onto your information for as long as it is actually useful. Here are our exact timelines:

Data TypeRetention Timeline
Account profilesAs long as your account is open + 12 months after you close it
Property inquiries24 months

5. Cookies

We use cookies to make the site work smoothly and remember your settings.

  • Core cookies: These keep you logged in and keep your session secure. The site won't work without them, so you can't toggle them off.
  • Analytics cookies: These show us anonymous patterns, like which pages load slowly, so we can fix speed issues.
  • Setting cookies: These remember your preferences, like your home city or your saved filters.

You can block cookies through your browser settings, but blocking the core ones will break parts of the platform. We don't use tracking cookies for advertising.

6. Security Measures

We use industry-standard tech to guard your data:

  • Everything moving between your browser and our site is scrambled using HTTPS/TLS encryption.
  • Only specific team members who need your data to do their jobs can access it.
  • Our servers sit behind digital firewalls and we watch them around the clock for weird traffic.
  • We run regular checks on our code and the outside tools we connect to.

If a security slip ever happens that puts your private details at risk, we will email you quickly. If you think someone guessed your password or got into your account, email us right away at privacy@makeen.pk.

7. Your Rights

You own your data. You can ask us to do any of the following at any time:

  • See your data: Ask us for a copy of all the personal info we have on you.
  • Fix mistakes: Tell us to correct wrong or outdated details. You can also fix most things yourself inside your account settings dashboard.
  • Wipe your data: Ask us to delete your account and remove your records. We will complete the procedure within 30 days, unless a law requires us to keep the file.
  • Take back consent: If you gave us permission to use your data for something, you can change your mind whenever you want.
  • Stop marketing alerts: Opt out of promotional emails or phone texts by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in any email or updating your account notifications.
  • File a complaint: You can talk to data regulators in Pakistan if you believe we handled your personal details unfairly.

8. Minors

Makeen is for people who are 18 or older. We don't intentionally gather data from kids or teenagers. If you realize a minor has given us their details, tell us at privacy@makeen.pk and we will erase that data from our servers.

10. Changes to This Policy

We will update this page as our business grows or as local laws change. When we do, we will update the date at the very top. If we make big changes to how we share or use your data, we will email you or put a large notice on the home screen before the change happens. Using the site after an update means you agree to the new terms.

11. Courts and Disputes

This policy belongs strictly under the laws of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Any legal issues or disagreements connected to this policy will be taken up directly in Pakistani courts, using local laws like the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) 2016.
