Privacy Policy
How we handle your data on UAE Price Index
Effective Date: January 2025
Last Updated: June 2025
At UAE Price Index (https://uaepriceindex.com), we take your privacy seriously. This privacy policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your information.
Summary
- We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-friendly analytics tool that does not use cookies and does not collect personal data.
- Our calculators (mortgage, rental yield, price comparator) run entirely in your browser. No data you enter is sent to our servers or stored anywhere.
- We do not collect personal information, email addresses, or create user accounts.
- We do not use tracking cookies, Google Analytics, or any invasive tracking technology.
Analytics
We use Plausible Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. Plausible is a lightweight, privacy-friendly analytics tool that:
- Does not use cookies
- Does not collect personal data or personally identifiable information (PII)
- Does not track visitors across websites
- Is fully compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and PECR without requiring cookie consent banners
- Collects only aggregate, anonymised usage data such as page views, referral sources, browser type, and country of origin
You cannot be identified through our analytics data, and we cannot link any analytics data to an individual visitor.
Calculator Tools
Our property analysis tools -- the Mortgage Calculator, Rental Yield Calculator, and Price per sqm Comparator -- are built as client-side applications. This means:
- All calculations are performed in your browser using JavaScript
- No data you enter into any calculator is transmitted to our servers
- No data you enter is stored, logged, or accessible to us
- Your inputs are lost when you close or refresh the page
We cannot see what numbers you enter, what scenarios you model, or what results you receive. Your financial calculations are completely private.
Cookies
UAE Price Index does not set any cookies. We do not use first-party tracking cookies, third-party advertising cookies, or any other type of cookie. No cookie consent banner is required because no cookies are used.
Third-Party Links
Our site contains links to external websites, including government bodies, real estate portals, and industry organisations. We link to these sites for informational purposes. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies before interacting with them.
Clicking an external link may transmit your referral information to the destination website (this is standard browser behaviour). We have no control over how external websites handle this information.
Data Retention
Since we do not collect personal data, there is no personal data to retain. Plausible Analytics retains aggregated, anonymised usage data indefinitely, but this data cannot be linked to any individual.
Children's Privacy
Our site is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect any data from children. Since we do not collect personal data from any visitor, this is inherently the case.
Your Rights
Because we do not collect personal data, the typical data subject rights (access, rectification, deletion, portability) are not applicable in the usual sense -- there is simply no personal data to access, correct, delete, or port.
If you have any concerns about your privacy on our site, please contact us and we will be happy to address them.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
