Privacy policy

This privacy policy explains to visitors of www.obiothan.com how their personal data is collected, used, stored and protected by OBIOTHAN SENEGAL SARL, and how they can exercise their rights.

It is drawn up in accordance with Senegalese Law No. 2008-12 of 25 January 2008 on the protection of personal data. By using the site or contacting us, you acknowledge that you have read its terms.

1. Data controller and data collected

The data controller is OBIOTHAN SENEGAL SARL, whose registered office is located in Mamelles, Cité Mbackiyou Faye, Dakar. We only collect the information needed to respond to people interested in our real estate projects.

When you fill in the contact form, we collect your full name, email address, phone number (optional), the subject of your request and the content of your message. If you write to us via WhatsApp from the site, we have access to your phone number, your profile name and the content of our exchanges, which are also subject to WhatsApp's terms of use. Finally, as on any website, the server automatically records technical connection data, such as IP address, browser type, date of visit and pages viewed, which are used for the proper functioning and security of the site.

Fields marked as mandatory in the form are required to process your request. We ask you not to share sensitive information, such as health data or details of your financial situation, in your messages.

2. Purposes and legal bases of processing

Your data is used to respond to your requests for information, process your apartment reservation requests and send you the plans, price list and payment schedule of the programme. This processing is based on your request: by writing to us, you are asking us for a response. Technical connection data is processed to ensure the security and proper functioning of the site, which constitutes our legitimate interest.

Your data is not reused for other purposes without you being informed beforehand. Where processing is based on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time by writing to contact@obiothan.com, without affecting processing already carried out.

3. Recipients, hosting and transfers

Your data is intended for the OBIOTHAN SENEGAL SARL teams in charge of relations with buyers. It may also be processed, on our behalf and on our instructions, by technical service providers such as the site's host, its developer and the messaging services we use. Your data is neither sold nor transferred to third parties for commercial or advertising purposes. The site's host is identified in the legal notice.

Some services, such as WhatsApp or Instagram, as well as certain elements embedded in the site, such as the map on the Contact page or the fonts, are provided by companies that may process data outside Senegal. Where such transfers occur, they are carried out in compliance with Senegalese law and the safeguards it requires.

4. Retention period and security

Your contact data is kept for as long as necessary to process your request, then for a maximum of three years from our last exchange, unless a legal obligation requires longer retention. After this period, it is deleted or anonymised.

OBIOTHAN SENEGAL SARL implements reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration or disclosure, and restricts access to those who need it. In the event of a security incident likely to affect you, we take appropriate measures and inform the persons concerned and the competent authority where required by law.

5. Cookies and trackers

A cookie is a small file stored on your device when you visit a website. The site only uses cookies that are strictly necessary for its display and operation. Some content embedded by third parties, such as the map on the Contact page, may set their own cookies when you view it. We do not use cookies for advertising profiling.

You can refuse or delete cookies at any time in your browser settings. Refusing certain cookies may, however, limit the display of some content, without preventing you from browsing the site or sending a contact request.

6. Your rights

In accordance with Law No. 2008-12, you have a right of access, which allows you to know whether we hold data about you and to obtain a copy; a right of rectification to have inaccurate or incomplete data corrected; a right to object to the processing of your data on legitimate grounds; and a right of deletion where permitted by law.

To exercise these rights, write to contact@obiothan.com specifying your request. We may ask you to prove your identity, and we will reply within a reasonable time. If you believe your rights have not been respected, you may contact the Personal Data Protection Commission (CDP) of Senegal, the supervisory authority in this area.

7. Minors, changes to this policy and contact

The site is intended for adults and we do not knowingly collect data concerning minors. It also links to Instagram and WhatsApp, which apply their own privacy policies, which we invite you to consult.

This policy may be updated to reflect changes to the site or to regulations; the date of the last update appears at the top of the page. For any question about your data, you can write to contact@obiothan.com or by post to OBIOTHAN SENEGAL SARL, Mamelles, Cité Mbackiyou Faye, Dakar.
