Privacy Policy

Introduction

RARE DESIGN HIVE (“Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting the privacy of individuals who interact with our website and services.

This Privacy Policy describes the types of personal data we collect, the purposes for which we process such data, the parties with whom we may share it, and the rights available to you under Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 Regarding the Protection of Personal Data of the United Arab Emirates (“UAE PDPL”).

Categories of Personal Data

We may collect and process the following categories of personal data:

Identification and contact information – such as your name, company affiliation, email address, telephone number, and any project details voluntarily submitted through our web forms.

Technical and usage information – including your IP address, browser type, device identifiers, access times, and pages visited.

Marketing and advertising data – data generated through cookies, pixels, or similar technologies in connection with advertising and analytics platforms (e.g., Google Ads, Meta).

Purposes and Legal Bases of Processing

We process personal data only where a lawful basis exists, including:

Consent – when you submit a contact form or opt in to marketing communications.

Performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps – to respond to enquiries, prepare proposals, or deliver services you request.

Legitimate interests – to maintain the security and functionality of our website, improve user experience, and measure advertising effectiveness.

Compliance with legal obligations – where we are required to retain certain records or disclose information to competent authorities.

Disclosure to Third Parties

We may disclose personal data to:

Service providers who host our website, provide customer-relationship management, email marketing, analytics, or advertising services.

Professional advisers (e.g., auditors, legal counsel) where necessary to protect our rights or comply with legal obligations.

All such third parties are contractually bound to process personal data only in accordance with our instructions and to implement appropriate security measures.

Cross-Border Data Transfers

Because some of our service providers are located outside the UAE, personal data may be transferred to jurisdictions that may not provide an equivalent level of data protection.

Where such transfers occur, we ensure that adequate safeguards—such as contractual clauses approved by the UAE Data Office or your explicit consent—are in place.

Data Retention

Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected or as required by applicable law.

When retention is no longer necessary, we securely delete or anonymize the data.

Data Subject Rights

Under the UAE PDPL, you have the right to:

Request access to, or a copy of, the personal data we hold about you.

Request correction or deletion of inaccurate or unnecessary data.

Object to or restrict certain processing activities.

Withdraw previously given consent without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Request transfer of your personal data to another controller, where technically feasible.

You may exercise these rights by contacting us using the details provided in Section 11.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website uses cookies and comparable technologies to enhance functionality, analyze traffic, and measure the performance of our advertising campaigns.

You may manage or disable cookies through your browser settings; however, some website features may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

Security Measures

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access.

Updates to This Policy

We may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements or our processing practices.
