Privacy Policy


Website: https://aliabbas.ca

At Ali Abbas Real Estate, your privacy is a top priority. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our website, interact with our services, or submit information through forms on our site.

1. Information We Collect

When you interact with our website, we may collect the following types of personal information:

  • Name, email address, and phone number (when you fill out forms)
  • Comments and associated metadata
  • IP address and browser user agent string
  • Media files you upload (images, documents, etc.)
  • Cookies and usage data related to your site interactions

2. Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection.

An anonymized string (hash) from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture may be publicly visible.

3. Media

If you upload images to the website, please ensure they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors may download and extract this data from images posted online.

4. Cookies

We use cookies to enhance your experience. If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies for future convenience. These cookies last for one year.

When you log in, we set temporary cookies to verify your browser settings. Login cookies last for two days, and screen option cookies for one year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends the login session for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.

When editing or publishing an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser containing no personal data—only the post ID. This cookie expires after one day.

5. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles and pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content behaves exactly as if the visitor has visited the original website. These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interaction with their content — including tracking if you are logged in to their site.

6. How We Use Your Data

We use the information you provide to:

  • Respond to inquiries or service requests
  • Communicate via email, phone, or text
  • Improve our website and customer service
  • Process and follow up on contact form submissions

7. Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

We do not share or sell your data to third parties for marketing or promotional purposes.

8. How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, it and its metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.

If you register on our website (if such functionality is available), we store your profile information. You can view, edit, or delete your information at any time (except usernames). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.

9. Your Data Rights

If you have an account or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also request that we erase your personal data, excluding data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

10. Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
