Who we are
Ras Banas City (ras-banas.city) is an independent information website about the Ras Banas area on Egypt’s southern Red Sea coast. We are not affiliated with the Egyptian government, the Red Sea Governorate, or any developer or investor. We are not a licensed real estate broker and we do not sell property.
What data we collect
When you fill in a form on this site we collect the details you type: your name, your WhatsApp number, your country where given, what you are interested in, and optional answers such as budget and unit type. We also record the page you sent the form from, the date and time, and your IP address, to protect the site from spam.
When you message us on WhatsApp we see the number and name you use on WhatsApp.
Like most websites we use cookies and Google Analytics to understand how the site is used. Visitors in the EU, the UK and Switzerland see a cookie banner first, and analytics cookies are only set if they click Allow. To change your choice, clear this site’s data in your browser. You can also block cookies in your browser.
How we use it
- To send you updates about Ras Banas on WhatsApp, usually once or twice a month and only when there is real news.
- If you told us you want to buy or invest, to pass your name, number and answers to an independent real estate broker we work with, so they can contact you. That broker may pay us a referral fee if you buy through them. They may also offer you other properties in the Red Sea area, but only if you ask.
- To answer your questions.
We do not sell your data and we do not share it with anyone else.
Your choices
You can opt out of messages at any time by replying STOP on WhatsApp or writing to us. You can ask us to delete your details and we will do so within 30 days, except where we must keep a record for legal reasons.
Legal basis
We use your form and WhatsApp details because you agreed to it: you ticked the consent box or messaged us first. You can withdraw your consent at any time, as described above. We record IP addresses only to protect the site from spam, which is our legitimate interest.
How long we keep your data
We keep your details for as long as you stay on our update list. When you reply STOP or ask us to delete them, we delete them within 30 days from the site database and our email, except where the law requires us to keep a record. Google Analytics keeps usage data for no more than 14 months.
Where your data is stored
Form entries are stored in this website’s database (hosted in a data centre operated by our hosting provider) and sent to our email. WhatsApp messages are handled by WhatsApp under its own privacy policy.
