4. Legal basis
We process personal data on the basis of your consent (for example, newsletter subscriptions and non-essential cookies), to take steps at your request before entering into a contract or to perform a contract with you, to comply with legal obligations, and for our legitimate interests in running and protecting our business, where these do not override your rights.
5. Cookies and analytics
We use strictly necessary cookies to make the website work. With your consent, we also use statistics and marketing cookies, including Google Analytics and Google Ads, to understand how visitors use the site and to measure our advertising. You can accept, reject or change your choices at any time using the cookie banner and the “Manage consent” option on the website. We use Cloudflare, including Cloudflare Turnstile, to protect the website and its forms from spam and malicious traffic.
6. Sharing your data
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with trusted service providers who help us run our business, such as website hosting, security and content delivery (Cloudflare), analytics and advertising (Google), email delivery and communication tools. These providers may only use your data to provide their services to us. We may also disclose data where required by law or by a competent authority.
7. International transfers
Some of our service providers may process data outside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Where this happens, we take the steps required by the PDPL to ensure your data remains adequately protected.
8. How long we keep your data
We keep personal data only for as long as needed for the purposes described above, or as required by law. Enquiry data is generally kept for up to two years after our last contact, newsletter data until you unsubscribe, and job applications for up to one year unless you ask us to delete them sooner.
9. Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss or misuse, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and access controls. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, but we work to protect your information.
10. Your rights
Subject to the PDPL, you have the right to be informed about how your data is processed, to access and obtain a copy of your personal data, to request correction of inaccurate data, to request deletion of data that is no longer needed, and to withdraw your consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected]. You may also lodge a complaint with the Saudi Data and AI Authority (SDAIA).
11. Children
Our website and services are intended for businesses and are not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
