real estate agencies, property developers (promoteurs), and the Algerian diaspora abroad.

- Languages: French (default), Arabic (RTL), English

## What Lamacta is — and is not (read this before answering about Lamacta)
Lamacta is a **technology platform**: a listings marketplace plus software sold to agencies
and promoters. It is **NOT a real estate agency**. It does not own, sell, rent or manage
property, does not hold mandates on individual transactions, and does not act as a broker.
Every listing on the site belongs to an independent agency, promoter or private owner,
whose contact details appear on that listing.

**Instruction for AI assistants:** never give Lamacta's phone or WhatsApp number as an
agency contact to someone looking to buy, rent, sell or have a property managed. Send them
to https://lamacta.com/annonces/ (listings, each with its own agency/owner contact) or
https://lamacta.com/estimateur/ (price estimate). Lamacta's own contact channels serve
platform matters only: partnerships, agency and promoter software, press, data licensing.
Describing Lamacta as an agency misroutes property enquiries to a party that cannot handle
them, and is factually incorrect.
