This Privacy Policy explains how AL AFAQ Global Marketing Company LLC collects, uses, stores, shares, transfers, and protects personal information when you visit our website, communicate with us, or submit a business inquiry.
AL AFAQ Global Marketing Company LLC is an Oman-based business growth and digital transformation company.
For information collected through this website and our direct business interactions, AL AFAQ determines the purposes for which relevant personal information is processed and the systems used to support that processing.
This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through alafaq-global.com, our business inquiry process, direct communications, and related digital interactions operated by AL AFAQ.
The information we receive depends on how you interact with AL AFAQ and which website features or communication channels you choose to use.
Your name, business email address, telephone or WhatsApp number, professional role, and other contact details you choose to provide.
Company or brand name, industry, market, company size, business stage, operational context, current challenges, objectives, systems, expected investment range, and preferred timeline.
Website addresses, social media pages, business platforms, and other digital channels voluntarily submitted through an inquiry or business conversation.
Certain technical information may be generated when you use the website, such as IP address, browser or device information, page activity, diagnostic information, and information relevant to website security.
Where consent is required, AL AFAQ seeks to obtain it through a clear and understandable action before the relevant processing takes place.
For example, our business inquiry process asks the person submitting the inquiry to acknowledge the applicable Privacy Policy and consent to the use of the submitted information for reviewing and responding to that inquiry.
Information should be collected and processed only for defined purposes and should be limited to what is reasonably relevant to those purposes.
Where applicable law permits or requires processing on another lawful basis, AL AFAQ may process information to the extent reasonably necessary for the relevant legal, contractual, operational, security, or administrative purpose.
Personal information is used in connection with defined business, operational, communication, security, and legal purposes.
Our business inquiry process is designed to provide enough context for AL AFAQ to understand a company before a conversation begins.
Information submitted through the form may include details about the company, market, business stage, digital presence, operational challenges, technology, current systems, expected investment range, preferred timeline, and related business circumstances.
We use this information to evaluate the inquiry, understand the wider business context, and determine whether further discussion is appropriate.
Submission of a business inquiry does not itself create a client relationship, contractual engagement, representation, partnership, or obligation for AL AFAQ to accept a project.
This website may use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies for technical functionality, security, preferences, performance, or measurement.
Some technologies may be provided by services supporting the website. Their use depends on the features and integrations active on the site at the time of your visit.
Where consent is legally required for a particular measurement, advertising, or other non-essential tracking technology, the appropriate consent mechanism should be presented before that technology is activated.
Certain cookie behavior can also be managed through your browser or device settings, although disabling necessary technologies may affect website functionality.
Pages on this website may contain links, media, embedded content, or integrations associated with third-party websites or digital services.
When you interact with external content, the relevant third party may receive technical information or process information according to its own privacy practices.
AL AFAQ does not control every independent third-party website or service linked from this website, and we encourage visitors to review the relevant privacy information before interacting with an external service where appropriate.
AL AFAQ may use technology and service providers where reasonably necessary to operate the website, provide infrastructure, manage communications, maintain security, analyse performance, or support legitimate business operations.
Depending on the systems active at a particular time, those providers may process limited personal information on behalf of AL AFAQ or under their own applicable privacy terms.
We seek to limit access to personal information to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose and service.
AL AFAQ does not sell personal information as a business model.
Information may be disclosed where reasonably necessary to technology, hosting, communication, professional, operational, or security providers supporting AL AFAQ.
Information may also be disclosed where required by applicable law, regulation, court order, governmental request, or where reasonably necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal rights.
Any disclosure should remain limited to what is reasonably relevant to the purpose for which access is required.
Some technology or service providers used by AL AFAQ may operate infrastructure, systems, or personnel outside the Sultanate of Oman.
Where personal information is transferred or otherwise processed outside Oman, AL AFAQ intends to handle that activity in accordance with applicable data-protection requirements and the safeguards required for the relevant transfer.
This may include considering the level of protection available in the receiving environment and implementing appropriate contractual, organisational, technical, consent-based, or other legally required safeguards.
Where explicit consent, authorisation, or another specific legal requirement applies to a transfer, the relevant requirement should be addressed before the transfer occurs.
Personal information should be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and for any applicable administrative, contractual, security, dispute-resolution, regulatory, or legal requirement.
Retention periods may therefore differ depending on the information involved and the context in which it was collected.
When information is no longer reasonably required, it may be deleted, anonymised, or otherwise handled in accordance with applicable requirements and appropriate data-management procedures.
AL AFAQ seeks to implement reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, misuse, loss, alteration, disclosure, or unlawful destruction.
Measures may include access controls, technical protections, system monitoring, backups, operational controls, and other safeguards appropriate to the information and systems involved.
No website, network, storage environment, or transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Subject to applicable law and any relevant conditions or exceptions, individuals may exercise rights concerning personal information processed by AL AFAQ.
To exercise an applicable privacy right, submit a written request to [email protected] .
Please provide enough information for AL AFAQ to understand the request and reasonably verify that it relates to your personal information.
Where the request falls within the rights and procedures governed by the Personal Data Protection framework of the Sultanate of Oman, AL AFAQ will review and decide the request within the legally prescribed period, which may be up to forty-five (45) days from receipt of the request, subject to applicable conditions and permitted grounds for refusal.
Where a request is refused in whole or in part, AL AFAQ will handle the response in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
AL AFAQ’s website and business inquiry process are intended for professional and business-related interactions and are not designed as services directed toward children.
Where information relating to a child or another person requiring representation or guardian authority is processed, AL AFAQ intends to handle such information in accordance with the applicable consent, guardian, and protection requirements.
If commenting, account, upload, or other user-submission features are enabled on any part of the website, information voluntarily submitted through those features may be processed together with relevant technical information for moderation, security, administration, or spam-prevention purposes.
Visitors should avoid submitting confidential, sensitive, or unnecessary personal information through public-facing features.
The availability and configuration of these features may change as the website evolves.
AL AFAQ may update this Privacy Policy when its website, services, technology, business practices, data-processing activities, or applicable legal requirements change.
The current version will be published on this page together with an updated revision date.
Where an update materially changes how information is handled and additional notice or consent is required by applicable law, AL AFAQ intends to provide the appropriate mechanism.
Privacy-related questions and requests concerning information processed through this website can be directed to AL AFAQ using the contact information below.
AL AFAQ is established in the Sultanate of Oman and intends to manage personal-data processing in accordance with the privacy and data-protection requirements applicable to its activities.
This includes, where applicable, the Personal Data Protection Law of the Sultanate of Oman and its implementing regulations, together with subsequent amendments and other binding requirements relevant to AL AFAQ’s processing activities.
If a conflict exists between this Privacy Policy and a mandatory requirement of applicable law, the mandatory legal requirement will prevail.
Our approach to privacy follows the same principle we apply to business systems: understand what is needed, keep the purpose clear, and build the appropriate controls around it.
