This policy covers the website emerge-sa.com, including its English and Arabic versions and the contact form. It does not cover data processed inside the emerge platform on behalf of subscribing customers: that data is hosted on Oracle Cloud servers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and is governed by each customer's subscription agreement.

What we collect and how

We collect personal data in three ways: what you give us, what our systems record automatically, and what we receive when you contact us on external channels.

SourceDataHow
Contact formFull name, job title, organisation, work email, mobile number, sector, modules of interest, a description of your current systems, and your marketing preferenceYou type it in and submit
Direct channelsWhatever you send us by email, phone or WhatsApp, and the contact details you useYou contact us
Website usePage URL and language of the form you used and the submission time; IP address, browser type and pages requested, in our hosting provider's server logs; the advertising identifiers described under CookiesRecorded automatically
Please do not enter sensitive personal data, such as health, religious, biometric or criminal information, or financial account numbers, into the form. We do not ask for it and do not need it.

Why we use it and on what legal basis

The PDPL requires a legal basis for each purpose. Ours are set out below.

PurposeData usedLegal basis
Answering your enquiry and scheduling a technical demoContact form dataSteps taken at your request before a contract, and our legitimate interest in responding to business enquiries
Sending you marketing about the emerge platformName, email, phoneYour consent, given through the checkbox on the form. You can withdraw it at any time
Securing the website and preventing abuseIP address, request logsOur legitimate interest in protecting our systems

Measuring our advertisingGoogle advertising cookies and identifiersYour consent where required, and our legitimate interest in measuring campaigns. You can opt out as described under Cookies
Meeting legal obligations and defending claimsWhatever is strictly requiredCompliance with the law

Where we rely on legitimate interest, we have checked that our interest does not override your rights, and we never rely on it for sensitive data. If you do not provide the data marked as required on the form, we cannot respond to your request.

Who we share data with

We do not sell personal data. We share it only with service providers who process it on our instructions, and only to the extent needed for the purposes above.

ProviderWhat it does for usWhere it processes data
FormSubmit.coDelivers contact-form submissions to our mailboxOutside the Kingdom
HostingerHosts the website; keeps server logsData centres outside the Kingdom
Google (Google Ads, Google Maps)Advertising measurement; the map on our contact pageUnited States

We may also disclose personal data to professional advisers, to a competent authority where the law requires it, or to a successor if our business is transferred, in which case this policy continues to apply.

Transfers outside Saudi Arabia

Several providers above store or process data outside the Kingdom. We transfer personal data abroad only as the PDPL and the Personal Data Transfer Regulations allow: to a country that SDAIA recognises as offering an adequate level of protection, or under appropriate safeguards such as the provider's data-processing terms and standard contractual clauses, and always limited to the minimum data needed. Contact us at abdulmalikalrifaee@outlook.com for details of the safeguards used with a particular provider.

Cookies and browser storage

We set no first-party cookies. The site uses browser storage for a few conveniences and loads Google services that set their own cookies.

How long we keep data

DataRetention
Demo requests and related correspondence24 months after our last contact with you, or for the life of the contract and the statutory period after it if you become a customer
Server logsA short rolling period set by our hosting provider, for security
Marketing consent recordsUntil you withdraw consent, plus the period needed to evidence it

When data is no longer needed we delete it or anonymise it.

How we protect data

The website is served over HTTPS. Access to enquiries is limited to team members who need it, providers are bound by contractual confidentiality and security obligations, and we keep the data we hold to a minimum. No system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a breach of personal data occurs that may cause you harm, we will notify SDAIA within 72 hours of becoming aware of it and inform you without undue delay, as the PDPL requires.

Your rights

Under the PDPL you have the right to:

  • be informed about how we process your personal data, which this policy provides;
  • access your personal data and obtain a copy in a readable format;
  • ask us to correct, complete or update it;
  • ask us to destroy it when it is no longer needed for the purpose it was collected for;
  • withdraw consent at any time, without affecting processing that took place before withdrawal;
  • object to direct marketing at any time.

To exercise a right, email abdulmalikalrifaee@outlook.com with the subject “PDPL request”. We may ask you to verify your identity. We respond within 30 days, which the regulations allow us to extend once if the request is complex, and we do not charge a fee unless requests are manifestly excessive. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may lodge a complaint with SDAIA, the competent authority under the PDPL.

Direct marketing

We send marketing about the emerge platform by email or WhatsApp only to people who have opted in, for example by ticking the box on our contact form. Every message includes a way to opt out, and you can also opt out by emailing us. Replying to your enquiry or confirming a demo is not marketing.

Children

The website is intended for businesses and their representatives. It is not directed at anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

Links to other services

The site links to WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok and Google Maps. Those services are operated by third parties under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to read. This policy does not apply to them.

Changes to this policy

We review this policy at least once a year and whenever our processing changes. The version number and date at the top tell you which edition you are reading. If a change materially affects you, we will highlight it on the website before it takes effect.
