Information We Collect

Legal Processing of Data

We will process your personal data lawfully, fairly, and in a transparent manner. We collect and process data about you only on legal bases. These legal bases depend on the services you use and how you use them, meaning we collect and use your information only where:

1. It is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract, including when we provide a service you request from us.
2. It satisfies a legitimate interest, provided it is not overridden by your data protection interests, including but not limited to research and development, marketing and promoting our services, and protecting our legal rights and interests.
3. You have given us consent to do so for a specific purpose. You have the right to change your consent at any time, but this will not affect any processing that has already taken place.
4. We need to process your data to comply with a legal obligation.

Collection and Use of Information

We will not keep personal data for longer than is necessary. While we retain this data, we will protect it through commercially acceptable means to prevent loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification. If necessary, we may retain your personal data for compliance with a legal obligation, or to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another natural person.

As no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100 percent secure, we cannot guarantee absolute data security. We do not collect sensitive personal information through our Digital Platform unless required by law enforcement, local authorities, or applicable data protection and privacy requirements. Several data privacy regulations mandate special treatment when collecting sensitive personal information.

Sensitive personal information may include details such as social security numbers, personal tax identification numbers, political or religious views, and similar information. We use cookies to collect information about you and your activity across our Digital Platform. Please refer to the Alba Cars Cookie Policy for more details.

We may disclose personal data to:

1. Third party service providers for the purpose of enabling them to provide their services.
2. Other parties where necessary for the performance of a contract.
3. Our employees, affiliates, and related entities.
4. Sponsors or promoters of any services we run.
5. Debt collection agencies, courts, tribunals, and regulatory authorities in the event you fail to pay for services we have provided to you.
6. Courts, tribunals, regulatory authorities, and law enforcement officers, as required by law, in connection with any actual or prospective legal proceedings, or in order to establish, exercise, or defend our legal rights.
7. Third parties, including agents or subcontractors, who assist us in providing information, services, or direct marketing to you.
8. Third parties who collect and process data on our behalf.

The disclosure of personal data may be subject to prescribed fees, as determined by the Company from time to time. The personal information we collect is stored and processed in the United Arab Emirates, or wherever we, our partners, affiliates, or third party providers maintain facilities. By providing us with your personal data, you consent to the disclosure of such data to these overseas third parties where applicable.

We will ensure that any transfer of personal data to overseas countries is protected by appropriate safeguards. Where we transfer personal data to third parties in other jurisdictions, you acknowledge that such third parties may not be subject to data protection laws similar to those in our jurisdiction.

You may not be able to seek redress under our jurisdiction's privacy laws if any such third party engages in any act or practice that would contravene the data privacy laws in our jurisdiction.
