Privacy Policy

Bees-Hive, Ugur Mumcu Bulvari, 1 Ufuk Tan Bloklari, No: 29, Catalkoy, Girne, North Cyprus, is the controller of personal data collected directly through BuyNorthCyprus.com.

Privacy enquiries may be sent to info@bees-hive.com.

This Privacy Policy applies to website browsing, property enquiries, callback requests, newsletter subscriptions and communications started through the website.

We may collect your name, email address, telephone or WhatsApp number, country, preferred language, property preferences, budget range, purchase timing, preferred locations and the content of your enquiry.

We may also process the property pages you enquire about, referral or partner-agent source, communication history, newsletter preferences and technical information such as IP address, browser, device, security logs and cookie choices.

Please do not submit passport copies, bank information, full payment-card details, proof of funds or confidential legal documents through the general website form.

Information is collected when you submit a form, request a callback, communicate through an offered messaging channel, subscribe to property updates or interact with the website.

We may also receive your details from a partner agent who has introduced you, provided that the agent has an appropriate basis for sharing them and explains the introduction.

We use information to respond to property enquiries, identify suitable listings, arrange introductions or viewings, route a lead to the correct Bees-Hive or partner-agent contact, maintain enquiry history, prevent fraud and misuse, improve the website and comply with legal obligations.

Where GDPR applies, the usual legal bases are steps requested before a possible contract, legitimate interests in responding to genuine property enquiries and operating the referral service, legal obligations, and consent where required.

If you arrived through an identifiable partner agent, your enquiry may be routed to that agent so they can continue assisting you.

If no referring agent is identified, Bees-Hive will normally handle the enquiry.

We record referral-source information so leads are routed consistently and so commercial introductions can be administered. We do not sell enquiry data to unrelated businesses.

We do not routinely distribute buyer details to lawyers, insurers, finance providers or other outside businesses.

If you ask us to arrange a relevant introduction, or agree that it is needed for your specific property enquiry or transaction, we may share the minimum information necessary with the selected professional.

The professional will be responsible for their own privacy practices and should provide their own privacy information.

Property alerts, price updates and general buyer information are optional.

We send marketing only where you have chosen to receive it or another lawful basis clearly applies.

Marketing consent is separate from submitting a property enquiry. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in the message or the website contact route.

The website may use necessary cookies or similar technologies for security, preferences and form operation.

Analytics, advertising pixels or other non-essential tracking may be added in the future. Where consent is required, they will not be activated until the visitor has made an appropriate cookie choice.

The cookie banner or settings tool should identify the categories actually in use and allow choices to be changed.

The website is hosted and protected using Cloudflare services.

Cloudflare and other technical providers may process IP addresses, request information and security data to deliver and protect the website.

Hosting with a reputable provider supports security but does not by itself determine legal compliance. We remain responsible for configuring the website and handling personal data appropriately.

Information may be received by authorised Bees-Hive personnel, the identifiable referring partner agent, website and communication providers, and a professional or service provider you ask us to introduce.

We may also disclose information where required by law, needed to protect legal rights or necessary to investigate fraud or security incidents.

Access is limited to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant role.

Bees-Hive personnel or property professionals in North Cyprus may access enquiries from people in the European Economic Area.

Where GDPR international-transfer rules apply, access or transfer outside the EEA must be supported by an appropriate lawful mechanism or applicable exception.

We take reasonable steps to limit the information shared and to use contractual, organisational and technical protections appropriate to the transfer.

General enquiries are retained for as long as the property search or introduction remains active and for a reasonable follow-up and dispute period.

Inactive enquiries will be reviewed periodically and deleted or anonymised when they are no longer needed.

Newsletter information is retained until you unsubscribe or the record is no longer valid, subject to a minimal suppression record. Security logs are normally retained for a shorter operational period unless required for an incident or legal claim.

Where GDPR or another applicable data-protection law gives you rights, these may include access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability and withdrawal of consent.

We may request reasonable information to verify identity before responding.

You may also complain to the data-protection authority competent for your location or for the relevant controller.

The website provides general property information and is not designed to collect personal data from children.

Property enquiries and contractual discussions should be submitted by an adult or authorised representative.

If we learn that a child has submitted personal data unnecessarily, we will take reasonable steps to remove it.

We may update this policy when the website, referral arrangements, providers or legal obligations change.

The current version and effective date will appear on this page.

Privacy questions and requests may be submitted through the website contact route or by email to info@bees-hive.com.
