Privacy Policy: How Riyadh Residences Manages and Protects Your Personal Information

Riyadh Residences, a publication of the Vanderbilt Portfolio (“Riyadh Residences,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), is committed to protecting the privacy and security of personal information provided by visitors to and users of our website at riyadhresidences.com (the “Platform”). This Privacy Policy describes the types of personal information we collect, the purposes for which we use that information, the circumstances under which we may share it with third parties, and the measures we take to protect it against unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.

This Privacy Policy applies to all information collected through the Platform, as well as any related services, sales, marketing, events, and communications. By accessing or using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and agree to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described herein. If you do not agree with the practices described in this Privacy Policy, you should discontinue use of the Platform.

This Privacy Policy was last updated on March 23, 2026. We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time by posting a new version on the Platform, and we encourage you to review this page periodically. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page, and your continued use of the Platform following the posting of a revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes.

Information We Collect

The information we collect falls into several categories depending on how you interact with the Platform. Understanding these categories is essential to understanding the scope and limitations of our data collection practices.

Information You Provide Directly. When you contact us via email at info@riyadhresidences.com, subscribe to our newsletter or content updates, submit an inquiry through any contact mechanism on the Platform, or otherwise communicate with us directly, you may provide personal information including your name, email address, phone number, professional affiliation, the nature of your inquiry, and any other information you choose to include in your communication. We collect this information only when you voluntarily provide it, and we use it solely for the purposes of responding to your inquiry, managing our relationship with you, and improving our services.

Information Collected Automatically. When you visit the Platform, certain information is collected automatically through cookies, log files, and similar tracking technologies. This automatically collected information may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, operating system and platform, device type and screen resolution, referring website or source, pages visited on the Platform and the order of those pages, time spent on each page, date and time of your visit, clickstream data reflecting your navigation through the Platform, and general geographic location derived from your IP address (typically accurate only to city or region level).

This information is collected to help us understand how visitors use the Platform, to improve the Platform’s content and functionality, to ensure the Platform displays correctly on your device, and to detect and prevent security threats. The information is collected in aggregate form and is not linked to personally identifiable information unless you have separately provided such information through direct communication with us.

Information Collected Through Cookies and Similar Technologies. We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect and track information about your interactions with the Platform. Cookies are small data files stored on your device that allow us to recognize your browser and capture certain information. We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them) for the purposes described in our Cookie Policy, which is available as a separate document on the Platform.

Information Collected Through Third-Party Services. The Platform uses Google AdSense and may use other third-party advertising services that collect information about your visits to the Platform and other websites in order to provide targeted advertisements. These third-party services operate independently of Riyadh Residences and are governed by their own privacy policies. We also use analytics services such as Google Analytics that collect information about Platform usage in aggregate form. These services use cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze information about how visitors use the Platform, and the information generated is typically stored on servers operated by the analytics service provider.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes, each of which represents a legitimate interest in operating and improving the Platform.

Platform Operation and Improvement. We use automatically collected information and analytics data to maintain and improve the Platform’s technical performance, to understand how visitors navigate and interact with our content, to identify the most valuable and engaging content topics and formats, to optimize the Platform’s design and user experience for different devices and browsers, and to plan future content based on demonstrated reader interests and information needs.

Communication and Inquiry Response. When you contact us directly, we use the information you provide to respond to your inquiry with appropriate depth and relevance, to direct your inquiry to the most appropriate member of our team, to maintain records of our communications for quality assurance and continuity purposes, and to follow up on previous communications where relevant and welcome.

Advertising. The Platform displays advertisements through Google AdSense and potentially other advertising networks. These advertising services use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your browsing behavior across multiple websites in order to display advertisements that are relevant to your interests. The information collected for advertising purposes may include the pages you visit on the Platform, the duration of your visits, your geographic location, and your browsing activity on other websites that participate in the same advertising networks.

We display advertising on the Platform as a means of generating revenue to support the cost of producing the high-quality editorial content that our readers value. Advertising revenue enables us to maintain a substantial body of freely accessible market intelligence that would otherwise require subscription or paywall models to sustain.

Legal Compliance and Protection. We may use and disclose your information where we reasonably believe it is necessary to comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; to enforce our Terms of Service and other agreements; to protect the rights, privacy, safety, or property of Riyadh Residences, our users, or others; and to detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security, or technical issues.

Riyadh Residences does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances.

Service Providers. We may share information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, analytics, email delivery, and technical support. These service providers are contractually obligated to use your information only for the purposes of providing the services we have engaged them to perform and to protect the confidentiality and security of your information.

Advertising Partners. As described above, third-party advertising services operating on the Platform may collect information about your browsing behavior through cookies and similar technologies. This information collection is governed by the privacy policies of the respective advertising service providers. You can manage your advertising preferences through the cookie management tools described in our Cookie Policy.

Legal Requirements. We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements. We may also disclose your information to enforce our Terms of Service, to protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property, and in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity.

Business Transfers. In the event that Riyadh Residences or the Vanderbilt Portfolio is involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, dissolution, or other fundamental business change, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. In such a case, we will provide notice before your personal information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

Data Retention

We retain personal information you provide directly (such as email correspondence) for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to maintain our business records, to comply with legal obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. Information collected automatically through cookies and analytics services is retained in accordance with the data retention policies of the relevant service providers, which typically range from fourteen months to thirty-eight months depending on the service and configuration.

When personal information is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and there is no legal requirement to retain it, we take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize the information so that it can no longer be associated with you.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include the use of encryption for data in transit (the Platform uses HTTPS), access controls limiting who within our organization can access personal information, regular review of our information collection, storage, and processing practices, and physical security measures for any hardware that stores personal information.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet and no method of electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. You acknowledge that you provide personal information at your own risk.

International Data Transfers

The Platform is accessible to users worldwide, and information collected through the Platform may be transferred to and processed in countries other than the country in which you are resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country. By using the Platform, you consent to the transfer of your information to these countries for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Where transfers of personal information are made from jurisdictions that impose restrictions on international data transfers (such as the European Economic Area), we implement appropriate safeguards to ensure that the transferred information receives an adequate level of protection, including standard contractual clauses or other approved transfer mechanisms.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. These may include the right to access the personal information we hold about you; the right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information; the right to request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions; the right to restrict or object to our processing of your personal information; the right to data portability, allowing you to receive your personal information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format; and the right to withdraw consent where our processing is based on your consent.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@riyadhresidences.com with a description of the right you wish to exercise and sufficient information to allow us to verify your identity and locate the relevant records. We will respond to your request within the timeframe required by applicable law, which is typically thirty days but may be extended by an additional sixty days where the request is particularly complex or where we have received a large number of requests.

Cookie Preferences. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings and through the cookie management tools described in our Cookie Policy. You can also opt out of personalized advertising through industry opt-out mechanisms such as the Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out page, the Network Advertising Initiative’s opt-out page, or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out page.

Email Communications. If you have subscribed to email communications from Riyadh Residences, you can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link included in each email or by contacting us at info@riyadhresidences.com. Please note that even if you unsubscribe from marketing communications, we may still send you transactional or administrative communications, such as responses to your inquiries.

Children’s Privacy

The Platform is not intended for children under the age of eighteen, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under eighteen. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under eighteen, we will take steps to delete that information promptly. If you believe that a child under eighteen has provided us with personal information, please contact us at info@riyadhresidences.com so that we can take appropriate action.

California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). These rights include the right to know what personal information we collect, use, disclose, and sell; the right to request deletion of personal information; the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information; and the right to non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights. Riyadh Residences does not sell personal information as defined under the CCPA/CPRA. To exercise any of these rights, California residents may contact us at info@riyadhresidences.com.

European Economic Area and United Kingdom Rights

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom (UK), you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK GDPR, respectively. The legal bases for our processing of your personal information include your consent (where applicable), the performance of a contract with you, compliance with legal obligations, and our legitimate interests in operating and improving the Platform, provided those interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms.

You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe that our processing of your personal information violates applicable law. EEA residents can find their local authority through the European Data Protection Board website, and UK residents can contact the Information Commissioner’s Office.

Saudi Arabia Data Protection

Saudi Arabia’s Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL), which came into effect in September 2023 with full enforcement provisions taking effect in September 2024, establishes a framework for the collection, processing, and transfer of personal data within the Kingdom. Riyadh Residences is committed to compliance with the PDPL where applicable, including requirements related to lawful processing bases, data subject consent, data minimization, purpose limitation, and cross-border transfer restrictions, as documented by Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 program.

Users located in Saudi Arabia who wish to exercise their rights under the PDPL — including the right to access, correct, or delete their personal data — may contact us at info@riyadhresidences.com with a description of the right they wish to exercise and sufficient information to verify their identity, as documented by Real Estate General Authority.

Third-Party Privacy Practices

The Platform contains links to third-party websites, services, and resources that are not operated or controlled by Riyadh Residences. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party services, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you access through links on the Platform.

Third-party advertising and analytics services that operate on the Platform are governed by their own privacy policies. Key third-party services include Google AdSense (governed by Google’s Privacy Policy) and Google Analytics (governed by Google’s Privacy Policy and Google Analytics Terms of Service). We encourage you to familiarize yourself with these policies to understand how your information may be collected and used by these services.
