Sharing personal data
We share personal data only as necessary to provide our services, fulfill legal obligations, or when you have authorized sharing. Third parties are contractually bound to protect data in line with this policy.
- Service providers that support our platform, such as cloud hosting, analytics, identity verification and secure document storage.
- Real estate counterparties including listing agents, building management and escrow agents when necessary to progress an offer or transaction.
- Payment processors and business institutions engaged to process fees, deposits or transaction-related payments.

International transfers
Personal data may be transferred to service providers or partners located outside your country. When transfers occur, we apply safeguards to preserve privacy and align with applicable laws.
Safeguards include using standard contractual clauses, assessing adequacy decisions where available, applying encryption in transit and at rest, and limiting transferred data to what is necessary for the service.
Data retention
We retain personal data as long as necessary to fulfill contractual obligations, comply with legal requirements, resolve disputes, or until you request deletion, subject to retention constraints for real estate records.
Account and client engagement records are retained for the duration of the engagement plus a period required by regulatory recordkeeping rules and for the purposes of defending any potential claims or audit requirements.
Communications, messages and transactional correspondence related to property searches and offers are retained to preserve case histories and support ongoing transaction logistics.
System logs, analytics and security records are retained for a limited period to support operational monitoring, troubleshooting and incident response, in line with industry standards.
When personal data is no longer required, we securely delete or anonymize it, unless retention is necessary for legal compliance or legitimate business needs tied to recorded case outcomes.
Security measures
Luminaara applies technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. Measures are chosen based on the sensitivity of the data and the context of the processing.
- Access controls and role-based permissions to limit data access to authorized team members and vetted service providers involved in a case.
- Encryption of data in transit and at rest, multi-factor authentication for administrative access, and regular security reviews and vulnerability assessments.
- Role-based access controls and periodic access reviews: only authorized employees and vetted partners receive credentials, and access rights are reviewed quarterly to limit exposure. Administrative actions are logged and monitored to detect anomalous behavior using automated alerts and manual audits.

Third-party links and services
Our website and communications may include links to third-party property portals, analytics providers, payment processors, and mapping services.
