This Privacy Policy explains how 3S Dubai (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, shares and protects your personal data when you visit https://www.3s-dubai.com (the “Site”) or contact us through our forms, email or phone. We are committed to handling your data lawfully, transparently and securely, in compliance with the United Arab Emirates Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data (“UAE PDPL”) and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).

- Communicating with you about your project, including by email, phone or WhatsApp.
- Improving our website and services, through analytics on how visitors use the Site.
- Complying with our legal and regulatory obligations in the UAE.
- Sending occasional service updates, only where you have given explicit consent.
4. Lawful basis for processing
Where the GDPR applies, we process your personal data on the following lawful bases:
- Consent — when you submit a form, voluntarily provide your contact details, or accept analytics cookies.
- Performance of a contract — when you engage us for paid services.
- Legitimate interests — to operate, secure and improve the Site, and to respond to inquiries.
- Legal obligation — to comply with applicable UAE and international laws.
5. Cookies and tracking
- Essential cookies — required for the Site to function (session, security, form submissions).
- Analytics cookies — set by Google Analytics 4 (via Google Tag Manager) to measure how visitors use the Site. These cookies collect data in aggregated form and help us understand traffic patterns.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use the Site.
6. Sharing your personal data
We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties. We may share your data with:
- Service providers who help us operate the Site and our services, including our hosting provider (DreamHost, USA), email provider, customer relationship management tools, and analytics providers (Google LLC, USA). These providers process data only on our instructions and under appropriate confidentiality and security obligations.
- UAE government authorities and Free Zone regulators when required to deliver the services you have engaged us for (e.g., license applications, visa processing).
- Legal, tax and banking partners involved in the specific service you have engaged.
- Public authorities or courts when required by applicable law or to protect our legal rights.
7. International data transfers
Some of our service providers (notably hosting and analytics) are located outside the UAE, including in the United States and the European Union. When we transfer personal data outside the UAE, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as contractual commitments and adherence to internationally recognised privacy frameworks.
8. Data retention
- Inquiries that do not lead to engagement — kept for up to 24 months and then deleted or anonymised.
- Client records — retained for the duration of our engagement and for the period required by UAE accounting and regulatory law (currently 5 to 7 years depending on the type of record).
- Website analytics — retained according to default Google Analytics 4 retention settings (up to 14 months).
