We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties. However, we

providers (such as cloud storage providers, data hosting providers, payment processors,
analytics tools, customer support, etc.) who assist in operating the website, processing
transactions, providing investment services, or helping us improve our offerings. These parties
are required to protect your data and can only use it to perform specific services on our
behalf.

Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to
safeguard your personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, or destruction. These measures
include encryption, secure data storage, and access control policies. Our team continuously monitors
and updates our security practices, regularly performing security audits to maintain high levels of
security standards and protection against emerging threats. However, please be aware that while we
take significant steps to protect your information, no method of electronic transmission or storage
is 100% secure. As such, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data Retention
We will retain your personal information only for as long as necessary
to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, or as required by law. Once the data is no
longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymise it in compliance with UAE data protection laws.
If you have ongoing investments or accounts with us, we may retain the necessary information for as
long as required for legal, regulatory, or business purposes. Below are the specific data retention
periods for different types of information:
- Contact Information: We retain your contact details (such as name, Email ID, Contact
Number) for as long as necessary to maintain communication with you, process enquiries, or
provide customer support. Typically, contact information is retained for 2-3 years unless you
request removal, or we are legally required to keep it longer.
- Investment Data: We retain data related to your investments (including financial
transactions, payment details, and investment history) for 7 years to comply with financial
auditing and regulatory requirements. This retention period allows us to fulfil legal
obligations and support financial reporting, taxation, and audits.
- Device and Usage Information: We may retain data about your device, browser type, IP
address, and website usage for up to 1 year to analyse user behaviour, improve website
performance, and enhance user experience. This data will be anonymised if it is no longer
required for operational purposes.
- Cookies and Tracking Technologies: Data collected through cookies is typically retained
for the duration of the session or as specified in our Cookie Policy. Certain cookie data
may be stored for up to 1 year, depending on the type of cookie used, for improving website
functionality and tracking user preferences.
- Marketing Data: Information related to your preferences and interactions with marketing
communications is retained for 12 months from the date of last engagement. If you opt out or
unsubscribe from our marketing communications, this data will be deleted or anonymised.
- Legal or Regulatory Purposes: We may retain certain data, such as investment data and
contact details, for longer periods if required by law for compliance with legal obligations,
tax reporting, or business purposes (such as preventing fraud or managing disputes). These
retention periods vary depending on local regulatory or legal requirements.
Once the data is no longer needed for these purposes, we will take
appropriate steps to delete, anonymise, or securely store it to ensure that personal information is
not retained unnecessarily. This means that when the retention period for any data has expired or
when the data is no longer required for the purposes it was collected, we will either permanently
delete it from our systems, convert it into an anonymous format so it cannot be traced back to an
individual, or securely archive it in a way that prevents unauthorised access. We ensure that all
steps are taken to safeguard your data even after its purpose has been fulfilled, in compliance with
UAE data protection regulations.

Additional Notes:
- Compliance with UAE Data Protection Laws: This Privacy Policy complies with Federal
Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on Personal Data Protection and other applicable UAE data
protection regulations, ensuring that your data is handled with the highest level of security
and legal compliance.
- International Data Transfers: If we transfer your data outside of the UAE, we ensure that
appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal information, in compliance with UAE
data protection laws, specifically Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on Personal Data
Protection. While the law does not have the same detailed provisions as the EU's GDPR, we
implement the following safeguards to ensure your data remains secure during cross-border
transfers:
- Data Protection Agreements: We enter into formal Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) with
all third-party service providers who process your personal data. These agreements include
strict clauses to ensure they process your data only as instructed and comply with the data
protection standards required under UAE law. This ensures that third-party vendors are held
to high standards of privacy and security.
-
Security Protocols: We implement secure data transfer mechanisms, such as data encryption
(both in transit and at rest), to protect your data when it is transferred internationally. This
ensures that personal data is securely encrypted and cannot be intercepted during transfer,
protecting it from unauthorised access.
-
Access Control: We enforce access
controls to ensure that only authorised personnel or systems can access or transfer personal
data. These controls are in place to ensure that data is not accessed by unauthorised parties
during its international transfer.
- Third-Party Vendor Compliance: When transferring data to third-party providers in other
countries, we ensure that those providers meet our data security and compliance standards.
We only engage with trusted third-party providers who demonstrate their ability to safeguard
data in compliance with UAE data protection laws.
These measures are designed to ensure that your personal data is always
handled securely and in compliance with the UAE's data protection regulations when transferred
outside the UAE.
