We do not sell your personal data. We may share it only in the following circumstances:

  • Business Transfers: In the event of a sale, merger, or acquisition of Hebron Apartments, your data may be transferred as part of the business assets, subject to the same privacy protections.
  • Your Consent: Any other sharing requires your express prior consent.

6. International Data Transfers

Some of our technology providers (including cloud infrastructure and communication services) may be located outside Ghana. Where data is transferred internationally, we ensure adequate safeguards are in place in compliance with Act 843, including contractual data processing agreements and security standards appropriate to the sensitivity of the data transferred.

7. Data Security

We implement technical and organisational security measures proportionate to the risk to your personal data, including encryption in transit, access controls, audit logging, and staff data handling training.

Security measures include:

  • Multi-factor authentication for administrative system access
  • Regular security audits and monitoring for unauthorised access

In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and the Data Protection Commission of Ghana within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, in accordance with Act 843.
