Privacy Notice
Last updated: 24 May 2026
1. Who we are
Sea of Sinbad Wealth Consulting is a boutique real estate advisory firm based in Kuwait. We advise Kuwaiti and GCC families on the purchase and management of residential property in Europe, Morocco, and Canada.
Sea of Sinbad is the data controller for the personal information described in this notice. If you have a question about how we handle your data, write to us at privacy@sos-wealth.com.
2. What this page covers
This notice explains how we handle personal information across four touchpoints: this website (sos-wealth.com), the intake and onboarding process when you become a client, the advisory engagement itself, and our day-to-day communications with you.
It does not cover the property purchase contracts. The private sale agreement, the notarial deed, and the mortgage paperwork are handled by the local lawyers, notaries, and banks we refer you to. Those professionals are independent data controllers in their own right, operating under their own privacy notices and the laws of their jurisdiction.
3. The information we collect
We group the information we hold into three categories.
Information you give us
When you engage us, we ask for the things we need to advise you properly: your name and contact details; your nationality and country of residence; identification documents required for know-your-client checks; evidence of source of funds; the family and succession context you choose to share with us (which often matters in jurisdictions with forced heirship rules, such as France); and your preferences and budget for the property you are looking for.
Information we collect automatically when you visit the site
When you browse sos-wealth.com, our hosting and analytics tools record your IP address, basic device and browser data, and the cookies described in section 9. We keep this collection to what we need to run the site and understand how visitors use it. We do not use dark patterns, behavioural advertising trackers, or third-party profiling cookies.
Information we receive from third parties
During an engagement, the specialists working alongside us — property hunters, mortgage brokers, lawyers, notaries, and referral partners — will share information with us about the properties they have sourced for you and the steps they are taking on your behalf. We only receive this information with your knowledge, because you have asked us to coordinate the engagement.
4. Why we use your information and the legal basis
We use your information for the following purposes. For readers in the EU and EEA, we have named the GDPR lawful basis in brackets after each one.
To provide the advisory service you engaged us for, including reviewing properties, briefing local specialists, and coordinating your transaction (performance of contract).
To meet our know-your-client and anti-money-laundering obligations under Kuwaiti law and the equivalent rules in the jurisdictions where you acquire property (legal obligation).
To coordinate with the lawyers, notaries, mortgage brokers, and other specialists we refer you to (performance of contract).
To respond to your enquiries before, during, and after an engagement (legitimate interests in running a responsive advisory practice).
To send you updates, market briefings, or invitations you have asked to receive (consent — which you can withdraw at any time).
To protect the security of our systems and detect misuse (legitimate interests in keeping our infrastructure safe).
5. Who we share your information with
We share your information, on a need-to-know basis, with:
the local lawyers, notaries, mortgage brokers, property hunters, property managers, and contractors we engage on your behalf in Spain, France, Portugal, Morocco, and Canada;
regulators, courts, and other public authorities where the law requires us to disclose;
our own professional advisors, including counsel, accountants, and auditors;
the IT and infrastructure providers who host our systems, who act as our processors under written agreements that bind them to handle your data only on our instructions and to the standard described in this notice.
Sea of Sinbad does not sell your data. We do not share it for advertising. We do not pass it to property developers or sales agents without your explicit instruction.
6. International transfers
Because we are established in Kuwait, your property may be in the EU or in Morocco or in Canada, and the specialists supporting you sit in several of those jurisdictions, your information will inevitably cross borders during an engagement.
We rely on the following safeguards. For transfers out of the EU and EEA, we use the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses with the recipient. Every engagement letter we sign with a local specialist contains written confidentiality and data-protection clauses. And, as a firm policy, we handle the data of every client to a GDPR-level standard regardless of where the data physically sits.
7. How long we keep your information
We keep your information only for as long as we need it.
Know-your-client and anti-money-laundering records are kept for the period required by Kuwaiti law, currently five years from the end of our relationship with you. Engagement records — correspondence, briefing notes, and our own working files — are kept for the duration of the advisory relationship and for a defined period afterwards to meet our legal, tax, and professional record-keeping obligations. Marketing data is kept only while you remain opted in; if you withdraw consent we stop using it for marketing immediately, and we delete it on the next routine purge unless we are required to keep evidence of the consent itself.
8. Your rights
You have, in summary, the right to:
• ask us what information we hold about you and request a copy (access);
• ask us to correct information that is wrong or out of date (rectification);
• ask us to delete information we no longer need (erasure);
• ask us to restrict how we use information while a question about it is resolved (restriction);
• ask us to send your information to you, or to another provider, in a portable format (portability);
• object to a particular use of your information (objection);
• withdraw consent at any time where we rely on consent (withdrawal).
These rights come from the GDPR for readers in the EU and EEA. Equivalent rights exist under Morocco's Law 09-08, Kuwait's CITRA Data Privacy Protection Regulation, Canada's PIPEDA, and Quebec's Law 25.
To exercise any of these rights, write to privacy@sos-wealth.com. We will respond within 30 days. There is no charge unless your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, in which case we will tell you and explain why.
If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to complain to the data protection supervisory authority where you live or work. Depending on where you are, that is the CNIL in France, the AEPD in Spain, the CNPD in Portugal, the CNDP in Morocco, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (or the Commission d'accès à l'information for Quebec residents), or CITRA in Kuwait.
9. Cookies and analytics
The site uses a small number of cookies. We use strictly necessary cookies that allow the site to function, and a limited set of analytics cookies that help us understand which pages our visitors read and how they arrived. You can accept, refuse, or change your cookie preferences from the banner that appears the first time you visit, or at any time through your browser settings.
Our separate Cookie Policy lists every cookie we use, what it does, and how long it stays on your device.
10. Security
We protect your information through encrypted storage and encrypted transmission, access controls that limit each member of the team and each external specialist to the data they need to do their work, and written confidentiality terms with every counterparty we share information with.
If something goes wrong — if there is a personal data breach that materially affects you — we will tell you, and we will tell the relevant supervisory authority, within 72 hours of becoming aware of it.
11. Children
The site and our services are not aimed at anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has shared information with us, please write to privacy@sos-wealth.com and we will delete it.
12. Changes to this policy
When we update this notice, the "last updated" date at the top changes. If a change materially affects how we handle your data, we will notify our active clients by email before it takes effect.
