Privacy Policy

Who We Are

Our website address is: https://dubaiforum.me. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal data is handled in a safe and responsible manner. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images on the site.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies to enhance your experience. If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. When you log out, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser, which includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. This cookie expires after one day.

Aggregated Content from Partners and Press Releases

We aggregate content from our partners and publish press releases submitted by third parties. We are not responsible for the accuracy, reliability, or legality of the content aggregated from our partners or submitted through press releases. This content is subject to the privacy policies and terms of the respective content providers. Please be aware that our partners and third-party submitters may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content. We do not have control over the data collected by these third parties.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same way as if you visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties unless we provide users with advance notice, except as described in this Privacy Policy.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website, we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, except for data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. We use standard security protocols and processes to ensure your data is protected.

Compliance with GDPR and Other Regulations

We comply with GDPR and other applicable data protection regulations. You have the right to access, rectify, or delete your personal data, and we will respond to such requests within the timeframe required by law.
