Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Malta Direct Rentals ("we", "us", "our") operates the website at maltadirectrentals.com. We are the data controller for the personal data described in this policy. For privacy enquiries, contact us at privacy@maltadirectrentals.com.

2. What data we collect

We collect only your email address when you join our waitlist. We do not collect your name, phone number, payment details, or any other personal information at this stage.

3. Why we collect it

We use your email address solely to:

• Send you updates about our launch date and progress
• Notify you when Malta Direct Rentals goes live

Legal basis: We process your data on the basis of your consent, given when you submit the waitlist form. You may withdraw consent at any time by unsubscribing.

4. How long we keep your data

We retain your email address until you unsubscribe, or for a maximum of 24 months from the date you joined the waitlist — whichever comes first. If we decide not to proceed with the service, we will delete all waitlist data and notify you.

5. Who we share it with

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We may share your data with third-party service providers who help us operate the service (such as email delivery and data storage), strictly under data processing agreements. These providers are contractually prohibited from using your data for any other purpose.

6. Your rights under GDPR

As a resident of the EU/EEA, you have the right to:

• Access — request a copy of the data we hold about you
• Rectification — ask us to correct inaccurate data
• Erasure — ask us to delete your data ("right to be forgotten")
• Restriction — ask us to limit how we process your data
• Portability — receive your data in a machine-readable format
• Objection — object to our processing of your data
• Withdraw consent — unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email we send

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@maltadirectrentals.com. We will respond within 30 days.

7. Cookies and analytics

We may use privacy-friendly analytics to understand how visitors use our site (e.g. page views, referral sources). No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics, and data is not shared with advertising networks.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify waitlist members by email. The date at the top of this page always reflects the most recent revision.
