1. Who we are

This policy explains how Abkari Advertising Services (عبقري للخدمات الإعلانية), licensed in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (commercial licence no. CN-5851549), collects and uses personal data through the website abkari.ae. For this data we are the controller.
Privacy contact: info@abkari.ae · +971 58 575 7625.
We handle personal data in line with the UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data.

Contact form: your name, email, phone number, subject and message, plus your IP address and browser type at the time you send it.
Newsletter: your email (and name if you enter it), the part of the site you subscribed from, your IP address and the date.
Product and quote requests: name, email, phone, WhatsApp number, business name and type, preferred subdomain or domain, requirements, expected number of users, notes and the plan you chose.
Hosting requests: name, email, phone, domain, notes and the plan you chose.
WhatsApp: the WhatsApp buttons open WhatsApp (Meta). Your number and messages reach us through WhatsApp and are also subject to WhatsApp's own privacy policy.
Client portal (clients.abkari.ae): the account details needed to manage your subscription or service.
Security data: IP address, browser type and request details (such as your email) in our security and request logs, used to protect the forms and limit repeated attempts.

Session cookie (PHPSESSID): strictly necessary for the forms and their protection. It ends when you close the browser.
Theme preference: your light/dark choice is saved in your own browser (local storage) and is not sent to us.
Fonts: pages load fonts from Google Fonts, so your browser connects to Google servers and Google receives your IP address.
Analytics and advertising: we do not currently use analytics or advertising cookies. If we add them, we will update this page and ask for your consent where required.

To reply to your enquiry and prepare a quote, at your request before entering into a contract.
To provide the service or subscription you ordered and manage your account.
To send the newsletter, only with your consent. You can withdraw it at any time by emailing info@abkari.ae.
To keep the website secure and prevent abuse.
To meet legal, accounting and tax obligations.

We do not sell your personal data.
Our hosting and email providers, which host the website, its databases and our email.
WhatsApp (Meta), when you contact us through it.
Google (Google Fonts).
Public authorities, when the law requires it.

The website and its databases are stored on hosting servers in the United Kingdom. This is a transfer of personal data outside the UAE under the Personal Data Protection Law, and we rely on the contractual terms with our hosting provider together with technical safeguards (an encrypted HTTPS connection and limited access permissions).
Some other providers (such as Meta and Google, and possibly our email provider) also process data outside the UAE. We aim to make any such transfer only in the cases permitted by the Personal Data Protection Law.

Enquiries and quote requests: as long as needed to answer you and follow up on your request.
Client data: for the duration of our contract, and afterwards for the period required by accounting and tax laws.
Newsletter: until you unsubscribe.
Security logs: for as long as needed to protect the website and investigate misuse.

The website uses an encrypted connection (HTTPS), and access to personal data is limited to the team members who need it.
If a breach affects your personal data, we will take the necessary measures and notify you and the competent authority as required by law.

Under the law you can ask to: access your data; receive a copy of it; correct or complete it; delete it; restrict its processing; object to direct marketing; and object to decisions made solely by automated processing (we do not make such decisions on this website).
Send your request to info@abkari.ae with the subject "Privacy request". We may ask you to confirm your identity, and we will respond within the period set by law.
You can also file a complaint with the UAE Data Office.

Personal data of car showroom customers stored in MotorHub, or in any system we run for a client, is not covered by this policy. We process that data on behalf of each client and according to its instructions; the client (for example the showroom) is responsible for it towards its own customers.

We may update this policy. The date of the latest version is shown at the top of this page, and the Arabic and English versions are published together.
