It is intended to inform you, as a user of the Website or our interactive platforms, of your rights and our obligations in relation to your personal data.
We are committed to handling your personal data responsibly and in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including, where relevant, the Federal Decree Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data in the United Arab Emirates, the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679, the Delaware Personal Data Privacy Act, and similar data protection regimes as may be applicable from time to time.
By using our Website, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

This data is collected using cookies and similar technologies. For further details, please refer to our Cookie Policy.
When you access or use our Services, we automatically collect usage metrics such as feature interactions, clicks, navigation paths, timestamps, session duration, crash logs, and other in-app behavioural data. Where you are a registered user, we may associate this information with your account details (including your business email address, role and permissions) for the purposes described in this Policy.
3. Legal basis for processing
We collect and process your personal data on the following legal bases:
- Consent: where required, we will obtain your consent to process personal data (for example marketing emails)
- Contractual necessity: to respond to enquiries or perform pre-contractual or contractual obligations
- Legitimate interests: to improve our Website, ensure IT security, and maintain business operations
- Legal obligation: where we are required to retain or disclose data under applicable law
For our analytics, platform monitoring and session recording activities, we rely on our legitimate interests in operating, improving and securing our Services and assisting our customers with adoption and support. Where processing is necessary to provide the Services under our agreement with your organisation, we rely on contractual necessity. In jurisdictions requiring consent for analytics technologies, we will rely on your consent obtained through our cookie banner or similar mechanisms.
4. Use of personal data
We may use your personal data for the following purposes:

- To personalise and enhance your user experience
- To analyse Website traffic and usage
- To comply with legal or regulatory obligations

- To monitor, analyse and improve usage of our Services (including at an individual user-account level), support user onboarding, measure adoption, troubleshoot issues, and enhance functionality. This includes linking in-app activity to your email or account profile.
We use certain analytics tools to generate anonymised or pseudonymised session recordings that help us understand how users navigate and interact with our Services. These recordings may capture cursor movements, clicks, scrolls and navigation patterns but are configured to avoid capturing sensitive data fields such as passwords, financial information, free-text fields likely to contain personal data, or customer content. We implement masking, minimisation and strict access restrictions for these tools.

- Legal and regulatory authorities, if required to comply with applicable laws or protect our legal interests
- Prospective acquirers or investors, in connection with a potential merger, acquisition, or restructuring
- Any third party where you have provided consent for such disclosure
All third parties are bound by contractual obligations to maintain the confidentiality and security of your data and to use it solely for authorised purposes.
6. International data transfers
Where your personal data is transferred outside the UAE to jurisdictions that may not provide the same level of data protection, we implement appropriate safeguards such as:
- Standard contractual clauses (where applicable)
- Adequate contractual obligations on data recipients
- Transfer based on your explicit consent (where applicable)
7. Data retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying any legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting requirements.
Where we no longer require personal data, we will securely delete or anonymise it in accordance with our data retention procedures.
8. Data security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to safeguard your personal data from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These include encryption, access controls, and secure data storage.
