Privacy Policy
Last updated: 20 June 2026 · Effective from: 15 June 2026
SiteScore is a decision-support tool, not a professional advisor. Outputs do not constitute financial, legal, investment, or leasing advice. Always consult qualified advisors before signing a commercial lease agreement.
1. Who We Are
SiteScore (“we”, “us”, “our”) is a UAE retail leasing intelligence platform operated by Nancy Saade, an individual based in the United Arab Emirates.
SiteScore helps retail professionals evaluate, score, and negotiate commercial lease opportunities across the UAE using benchmark data, OCR analysis, and AI-assisted summaries.
2. Data We Collect
We collect only the data necessary to provide the Service:
| Category | What | When |
|---|---|---|
| Account | Email address | Sign-up / magic link login |
| Deal inputs | Mall name, emirate, store size, rent figures, sales projections, brand name, lease terms, notes | When you run an evaluation |
| Uploaded documents | Lease documents (PDF) you choose to upload. These files are sent to Anthropic's Claude API for AI-assisted extraction of lease details. Do not upload documents you are not permitted to share. | When you upload a lease document |
| Waitlist | Email address | If you join the waitlist |
| Technical | Browser type, IP address (rate limiting only), session token | Every request (server logs) |
We do not collect passport numbers, Emirates IDs, trade licence details, or any government-issued identifiers.
3. Legal Basis for Processing
Under the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 — “PDPL”), we process your data on the following legal bases:
- Contractual necessity — to provide the evaluation, scoring, and reporting Service you have requested.
- Legitimate interests — to prevent fraud and abuse; to monitor service health; to improve benchmark accuracy using aggregated, anonymised patterns.
- Consent — for marketing communications or waitlist updates. You may withdraw consent at any time by emailing us or using the unsubscribe link in any email.
4. How We Use Your Data
- Generate and display your retail site evaluation reports.
- Save your deal pipeline and reports across devices (signed-in users only).
- Manage your account and free evaluation allowance.
- Send account, waitlist, contact-form, and other transactional communications via Resend.
- Notify waitlist members when new features or access opens (with your consent).
- Monitor service availability and fix technical errors.
- Rate-limit the API to prevent abuse and protect all users.
- Improve the accuracy of scoring benchmarks using anonymised, aggregated patterns — never identifiable deal data.
We do not sell, rent, or share your deal data with landlords, developers, real estate brokers, investors, or any other commercial party. We do not use your identifiable deal data to train AI models.
5. Data Retention
We retain your data for as long as needed to provide the Service, then delete it:
| Data type | Retention period | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Account email | Until account deleted, or 2 years of inactivity | Contractual |
| Deal / evaluation data | Until account deleted, or 2 years of inactivity | Contractual |
| Waitlist email | Until you unsubscribe or request deletion | Consent |
| Server access logs | 30 days (Netlify platform logs) | Legitimate interest |
| Browser local storage | Until you clear your browser data | Your device |
When you request account deletion (see Section 9), all personal data and deal evaluations are permanently removed from our systems within 30 days.
