Your privacy, our commitment

DigitalDubai.ai (“DigitalDubai”, “we”, “us” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share and safeguard information when you visit digitaldubai.ai (the “Website”).

We have written this policy in plain language so it is easy to follow. By accessing or using the Website you confirm that you have read and understood the practices described here.

We collect two categories of information about you:

Information you provide directly

• Contact details — your name and email address when you write to us through the contact form or subscribe to a newsletter.
• Communications — the content of any message, feedback or correction you send to our editorial team.

Information collected automatically

• Technical data — IP address, browser type and version, operating system, time-zone setting, device identifiers, and approximate location.
• Usage data — pages viewed, time spent on pages, links clicked, referrer URL, and search terms used within the Website.
• Cookies and similar technologies — small files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences and measure how the Website is used.

We use the information we collect to:

• operate, maintain and continually improve the Website
• respond to enquiries, feedback and corrections submitted by readers
• send newsletters and product updates where you have subscribed
• analyse aggregated traffic patterns to inform editorial and product decisions
• serve relevant advertising through partners such as Google AdSense
• detect, investigate and prevent fraudulent or abusive activity
• comply with applicable laws, regulations and lawful requests

We use cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences, understand how the Website is used and deliver relevant advertising. A full breakdown of the categories of cookies we use is available in our Cookie Policy.

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may limit some features of the Website, but core editorial content will remain accessible.

We work with third-party advertising and analytics providers, including Google AdSense and Google Analytics, to support free public access to our journalism. These partners may use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this Website and other websites in order to deliver advertisements about goods and services that may interest you.

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only in the limited circumstances set out below:

• Service providers who operate our hosting, analytics, email and security infrastructure under strict contractual obligations.
• Advertising partners as described in section 5.
• Legal authorities where we are required to do so by law or where disclosure is necessary to protect our rights.
• Successors in the event of a merger, acquisition or sale of substantially all of our assets, with appropriate confidentiality protections.

We retain personal information only for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, or as required by applicable law. When data is no longer needed it is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised.

We implement a combination of technical, organisational and administrative safeguards designed to protect your personal information against accidental loss and unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure. While no system is completely secure, we work to follow industry best practices including transport-layer encryption (HTTPS), least-privilege access controls and ongoing security monitoring.

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:

• request access to the personal information we hold about you
• request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
• request deletion of your personal information
• object to or restrict certain processing activities
• withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent
• lodge a complaint with a competent data protection authority

To exercise any of these rights please email us at contact@digitaldubai.ai. We aim to respond to verified requests within 30 days.

The Website is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

Our infrastructure is hosted by trusted providers that may operate data centres outside your country of residence. Where personal information is transferred internationally we rely on appropriate safeguards, including the standard contractual clauses offered by these providers.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational or regulatory reasons. The revised policy will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date. Material changes will be highlighted on the Website.
