Some technology, hosting, analytics, email or messaging providers may store or process information outside the UAE. This can occur, for example, when you communicate through an international platform such as WhatsApp.
Where required, we seek to use appropriate contractual, organisational or technical safeguards for cross-border processing. Third-party platforms also process information under their own privacy terms.

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose it was collected, including responding to enquiries, delivering services, maintaining business records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements and meeting legal or accounting obligations.
Retention periods may differ depending on the type of information, whether a booking was completed, the sensitivity of the data and any applicable legal requirement. Information that is no longer needed may be deleted, anonymised or securely archived where appropriate.
