Last updated: 4 June 2026. This policy applies to all pages under 3garaat.com.
1. What this policy covers
This Privacy Policy explains how 3garaat ([REGISTERED_COMPANY_NAME], trade licence [TRADE_LICENCE_NUMBER]) collects, uses and discloses personal data when you visit 3garaat.com. It is governed by UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on Personal Data Protection (PDPL) and any applicable subordinate regulation.
2. Personal data we collect
- Technical data automatically collected when you visit: IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, time spent, and timestamps.
- Cookie and analytics data: See section 4.
- Information you provide directly: any email address or message content you send to our editorial inboxes (editor@, press@, partnerships@).
- Affiliate tracking parameters: When you click a sponsored outbound link, a subID or click ID is appended to the destination URL so the partner can attribute the referral. The receiving operator stores this data under its own privacy policy; we do not retain personal data about your activity on the operator’s site.
3. Why we collect this data — lawful basis
We process data on the following PDPL bases:
- Legitimate interest for site analytics, performance monitoring and security.
- Contractual necessity for processing inquiries you send us.
- Consent for non-essential cookies and any future marketing communications.
4. Cookies
We use a small number of cookies. By category:
- Strictly necessary: session cookies for the language toggle and nav state. No consent required.
- Analytics: first-party page-view counting via [ANALYTICS_PROVIDER] — placeholder until installation. We may run privacy-conscious analytics (e.g. Plausible or Fathom) that don’t set persistent identifiers.
- Affiliate attribution: a short-lived first-party cookie storing the affiliate click ID for up to 30 days, used to reconcile commission reports. No third-party identifiers are set by us.
You can clear cookies at any time via your browser settings. Doing so will not affect your ability to read the site.
5. Third-party services
Outbound clicks on operator links (Section A and Section B) take you to a third-party site (the operator or an affiliate network). Once you click, you are subject to that party’s privacy policy. We disclose our affiliate-network relationships on the Affiliate Disclosure page.
We do not embed third-party social-media or advertising trackers on this site. We do not run third-party display ads.
6. Data retention
- Server logs: 30 days, then automatically purged.
- Inquiry emails: retained for 12 months from last reply, then deleted unless retained for legal/regulatory reasons.
- Affiliate-attribution cookie: max 30 days.
7. Your rights under PDPL
Under Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 you have the right to:
- Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate data.
- Request deletion (subject to lawful retention obligations).
- Object to processing on legitimate-interest grounds.
- Withdraw consent at any time where consent was the lawful basis.
- Lodge a complaint with the UAE Data Office.
To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected] [PLACEHOLDER]. We respond within 30 days.
8. International transfers
Our site is hosted at [HOSTING_PROVIDER_AND_REGION]. Where data is transferred outside the UAE, we ensure adequate protection by relying on standard contractual clauses or recognised adequacy decisions per PDPL Article 22.
9. Security
We use TLS for all traffic, server-side hardening on our hosting platform, and access controls on the editorial CMS. No internet system is fully secure; we encourage you to use a strong password if you ever interact with services we may add in future.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change. Material changes will be flagged on the homepage for 30 days.
