BLUEZONE KINGDOM respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly and in accordance with applicable data-protection laws.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store and protect personal information when you visit our website, communicate with us, submit an enquiry, apply to work or collaborate with us, subscribe to communications, or otherwise interact with BLUEZONE KINGDOM.
1. Information We Collect
Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect your name, company, professional title, email address, telephone number, country or location, information provided through contact forms, business or partnership enquiries, media enquiries, recruitment information, communication preferences and other information you voluntarily provide.
When you use our website, certain technical information may also be collected automatically, including IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, pages visited, referral source and general website usage information.
We do not intentionally request sensitive personal information unless it is reasonably necessary for a legitimate and lawful purpose.
2. How We Collect Information
Information may be collected directly from you when you contact us, submit a form, subscribe to communications, apply for an opportunity, communicate with one of our businesses or establish a commercial or professional relationship with us.
We may also collect limited information automatically through cookies, analytics and similar technologies, or from legitimate publicly available professional and business sources where permitted by law.
3. How We Use Personal Information
We may use personal information to respond to enquiries, manage customer and supplier relationships, evaluate partnerships and collaborations, process recruitment or freelance enquiries, provide requested information, communicate relevant corporate updates, manage our businesses, operate and improve the website, understand website usage, maintain security, comply with legal obligations and protect our legitimate business interests.
We may also use information to communicate with customers, producers, artisans, farmers, suppliers, institutions, strategic partners and other organisations with whom BLUEZONE KINGDOM maintains or is exploring a relationship.
We do not sell personal information.
4. Legal Basis for Processing
Depending on the circumstances, we may process personal information because you have provided consent, because processing is necessary to respond to a request or enter into or perform a business relationship, because it is required by law, because it is necessary to establish or protect legal rights, or because another lawful basis applies.
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent, subject to applicable legal requirements.
5. Sharing Personal Information
Where reasonably necessary, personal information may be shared with companies within BLUEZONE KINGDOM, website and technology providers, hosting providers, professional advisers, communications agencies, contractors, service providers, business partners and government or regulatory authorities.
Such information should only be used for legitimate purposes connected with the services being provided or the relationship concerned.
We do not provide personal information to unrelated third parties for their independent marketing purposes.
6. International Transfers
BLUEZONE KINGDOM operates internationally and maintains business relationships across several markets.
Personal information may therefore be transferred to or processed in countries outside the United Arab Emirates, including where our technology providers, advisers, partners or affiliated businesses operate.
Where such transfers occur, we take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information is handled appropriately and in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including maintaining business relationships, responding to enquiries, fulfilling contractual obligations, meeting legal, tax, accounting or regulatory requirements and establishing or defending legal claims.
When information is no longer reasonably required, we may securely delete, anonymise or otherwise dispose of it.
8. Information Security
BLUEZONE KINGDOM applies reasonable technical and organisational measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorised access, misuse, disclosure, alteration, loss or destruction.
However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
9. Your Rights
Subject to applicable law and relevant exceptions, you may have rights relating to access, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, objection to certain processing, portability of information and withdrawal of consent.
You may also object to receiving direct marketing communications from us at any time.
We may request reasonable information to verify your identity before processing a privacy-related request.
10. Children’s Privacy
The BLUEZONE KINGDOM corporate website is primarily intended for general corporate, informational and business purposes.
Although KIDS KINGDOM is a family and community initiative focused on younger generations, we do not knowingly seek to collect personal information directly from children through the corporate website without appropriate parental or guardian involvement where required.
If we become aware that information relating to a child has been collected inappropriately, we will take reasonable steps to address the matter.
11. Third-Party Websites
The website may contain links to websites operated by BLUEZONE KINGDOM businesses, represented brands, strategic partners, institutions or other third parties.
These websites operate independently and may have their own privacy policies. BLUEZONE KINGDOM is not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of independent third-party websites.
12. Marketing Communications
Where you have subscribed to communications or where otherwise permitted by applicable law, we may send occasional information concerning BLUEZONE KINGDOM, its businesses, partnerships, events or activities.
You may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe function provided or by contacting us.
13. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our activities, website, technologies or legal requirements.
The most recent version will be published on bluezonekingdom.com with its latest revision date.
