How long we keep Your information for
We retain Your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was originally collected, or as required by applicable laws, regulations, or legitimate business needs.
If You maintain an online account with Us, or provide personal information through forms on Our Platform or via social media, We will retain Your information for no longer than five (5) years from the date Your account is closed or becomes inactive. This retention period is determined based on:

- Our obligation to address any queries, concerns, or issues regarding the handling of Your account during this period.
- The need to preserve records for legal purposes, including the defense or initiation of legal claims.
- Compliance with regulatory and audit requirements under UAE law, GDPR, and other applicable legislation.
Following this retention period, We will securely delete or anonymize Your personal data, unless a longer retention period is mandated or permitted under applicable laws, such as for ongoing legal proceedings, investigations, or regulatory purposes. Any such extended retention will be based on the lawful bases provided by the UAE Personal Data Protection Law and the GDPR (e.g., legal obligations or legitimate interest).
Data Security and Protection
We are committed to ensuring the security of Your personal information during the retention period. Your data will be stored securely and accessed only by authorized personnel for legitimate purposes, in accordance with strict confidentiality obligations and data protection protocols.
