Sharing of Information

We do not share your personal data with third parties except in the following limited circumstances:

  • Trusted service providers: We may share data with carefully selected third-party platforms (such as email marketing or analytics providers) who process data strictly on our behalf and under appropriate data processing agreements.
  • Legal obligations: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or regulatory authority.
  • Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or restructuring of LEM, your data may be transferred as part of that process. We will notify you in advance where required by law.

Any third-party service providers we use are required to handle your data securely, confidentially, and in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Our Website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to enhance your browsing experience, analyse traffic, and understand how visitors interact with our content. Cookies we use may include:

  • Essential cookies: Required for the Website to function correctly
  • Analytics cookies: Used to collect anonymous data about site usage (e.g., Google Analytics)
  • Preference cookies: Used to remember your settings or preferences

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Website. For full details, please refer to our separate Cookie Policy.

Data Security

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of data transmission over the internet is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any login credentials or personal information you share with us. Please notify us immediately if you suspect any unauthorized use of your data.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including to:

Third-Party Services & Links

Our Website may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies independently.

We may use third-party tools, including email marketing platforms, analytics services, and content management systems. Where these providers process data on our behalf, we ensure they are bound by appropriate contractual obligations and security standards. Some providers may store data in countries outside your own — we ensure adequate protections are in place in such cases.

Our Website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you believe a child has submitted personal data to us, please contact us at info@luxuryestatemag.com, and we will delete it promptly.
