Privacy Policy

Borama Realty (boramarealty.com) is a property marketplace for Borama, Somaliland. This policy explains what information we collect when you use the site, why, and what choices you have. Questions: info@boramarealty.com

1. Information you give us

Account information — when you register, we store your name, email address, password (stored in encrypted/hashed form by the site software — we cannot see it), and any profile details you add, such as phone number, WhatsApp number, city, and professional information (for example specialization and experience for building professionals).
Listings — the descriptions, prices, photographs, location details and contact numbers you publish in a listing.
Messages — messages you send to another user through the site’s messaging system.
Community posts — anything you post in the public Community forums.
Newsletter — if you subscribe to Borama Insights updates, we store the name and email address you enter in the signup form in the site’s own database, until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it.
Reports and emails — if you report a listing or email us, we keep that correspondence so we can act on it.

2. What is public, and what is not

Public by design: your listing content, your professional/vendor profile, the contact phone and WhatsApp numbers shown on your listings, and your Community forum posts. Do not put anything in a listing, profile or forum post that you do not want the public to see.
Not public: your password, your account email address (unless you choose to publish it in a listing or profile), your private site messages (visible to the person you message, and to site administrators where needed for safety, moderation or legal reasons), and your newsletter signup details.

3. Information collected automatically

Essential cookies and site settings — the site uses cookies that are needed for it to work, such as keeping you signed in, remembering your search and language preferences, and security checks. You can block cookies in your browser, but signing in and some features will then not work.
Server logs — our hosting provider automatically records basic technical information when anyone visits (such as IP address, browser type, pages visited and time of visit) for security and to keep the site running. We use these logs only for security, troubleshooting and understanding overall site use in aggregate.

4. How we use information

To run the marketplace: creating and displaying listings and profiles, connecting buyers, renters, owners and professionals, delivering messages, running the Community forums, sending newsletter updates to people who subscribed, preventing fraud and abuse, moderating reports, and improving the site. We do not sell your personal information.

5. Contact through phone and WhatsApp

When you tap a Call or WhatsApp button on a listing, you leave our site and contact the lister directly through your phone provider or WhatsApp. That conversation is between you and the lister, and WhatsApp’s own privacy policy applies to it. We do not read or store those calls or WhatsApp chats.

6. When we share information

Only in these cases: with service providers who help run the site (hosting, security, email delivery) and who may use it only to provide that service; if required by law or a lawful request; or to investigate fraud, abuse or a reported listing. Other than the public information described in section 2, we do not share your personal information with advertisers or other businesses for their own marketing.

7. How long we keep it

Account, listing and profile information is kept while your account is active. Messages and forum posts are kept while the related account/listing exists, or longer where needed for safety or legal records. Newsletter details are kept until you unsubscribe or ask for deletion. Server logs are kept for a limited period by the hosting provider. You may ask us to delete your account — see section 8.

8. Your choices

You can view and correct most of your information yourself under Account → Settings.
You can ask us at info@boramarealty.com to show you the personal information we hold about you, correct it, or delete your account and personal information. Deleting your account removes your listings and profile from public view; public forum posts you made may remain shown without your account details where removing them would break an ongoing public discussion — tell us if you want those removed too and we will review it.
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by contacting us at the email above (and, once newsletter sending is set up, through the unsubscribe link in every mailing).

9. Children

This site is a property marketplace for adults arranging rentals, sales and professional services. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.

10. Security

We use the security features of our hosting and site software and limit administrator access, but no website can guarantee complete security. Use a unique password for your account and tell us at once if you believe someone else has used it.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. The current version will always be on this page, with its date. If a change is significant, we will note it on the site.
