We do not use your personal data for purposes that are incompatible with the above without providing notice and/or obtaining consent where required.

 

4) Lawful basis for processing under PDPL

 

We process personal data only where we have a lawful basis under the PDPL, which may include:

  • Your consent (for example, where required for certain cookies or marketing communications)

  • Contractual necessity (to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract and to provide requested services)

  • Legal obligation (to comply with UAE laws or regulatory requirements)

  • Legitimate interest (such as operating and securing our Website, responding to business enquiries, and improving services), where such interests are not overridden by your rights

Marketing: Where PDPL requires consent (or where best practice applies), we will seek consent before sending marketing communications. You can opt out at any time (see Section 8).

 

5) Consent (How you give and withdraw it)

 

Where we rely on consent:

  • We will obtain it through clear opt-in mechanisms (e.g., tick boxes for marketing or cookie preferences, where applicable).

  • You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us (Section 12) or using an unsubscribe link in emails (if used). Withdrawal does not affect processing already carried out before withdrawal.

 

6) Sharing and disclosure

 

We do not sell personal data. We may share personal data with:

  • Service providers / processors (e.g., website hosting, analytics, email systems, CRM) who process data on our behalf under contractual confidentiality and security obligations

  • Professional advisers (legal, auditors, insurers) where necessary

  • Authorities and regulators where required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security

  • Business transfers (merger/acquisition/asset sale), where data may be transferred subject to lawful safeguards

 

7) Cross-border transfers

 

Your personal data may be processed in the UAE and may be accessed or stored in other countries (e.g., where our service providers operate). Where personal data is transferred outside the UAE, we take appropriate measures required under PDPL to ensure adequate protection (such as contractual safeguards, access controls, and vendor due diligence).

Subject to PDPL conditions and exceptions, you may have the right to:

  • Access your personal data

  • Correct inaccurate or incomplete data

  • Request deletion of your personal data (where applicable)

  • Restrict or object to processing in certain cases

9) Cookies and similar technologies

 

We may use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Ensure Website functionality and security

  • Understand Website usage and improve performance

  • Support communications and user experience

You can manage cookies via browser settings. If we use non-essential cookies (e.g., analytics/marketing), we will implement a cookie notice and obtain consent where required.

 

10) Data retention

 

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy and to meet legal or regulatory requirements. Retention depends on:

  • The nature of the relationship (e.g., enquiry vs. active customer)

  • Legal obligations and limitation periods

  • Ongoing legitimate business needs (e.g., audit trails, dispute handling)

 

11) Security and confidentiality

 

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, including (as appropriate):

  • Access controls and least-privilege permissions

  • Secure hosting and encryption in transit where available

  • Monitoring and logging for security events

No online system is 100% secure; however, we continuously work to protect data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or loss.

 

12) Personal data breach handling and notifications

 

If a personal data breach occurs that is likely to result in risk to individuals’ privacy and rights, we will take appropriate steps in line with PDPL requirements, which may include:

  • Investigating and containing the incident

  • Documenting the breach and remedial actions

  • Notifying the relevant UAE authority and affected individuals where required
