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.
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 Type | Retention Timeline |
|---|---|
| Account profiles | As long as your account is open + 12 months after you close it |
| Property inquiries | 24 months |
| Search histories & logs | 6 months linked to you, then we scrub the names to make it anonymous |
| Agent vetting documents | As long as you are registered + 3 years |
| Legal files | Whatever timeline Pakistani law requires |
If you ask us to delete your account, we clear your data within 30 days. If a specific law forces us to keep a file longer, we will explain that to you.
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.

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

- Fix mistakes: Tell us to correct wrong or outdated details. You can also fix most things yourself inside your account settings dashboard.
