Information We May Collect
We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when contacting Protech, submitting an enquiry, requesting a consultation, communicating with us regarding our services, or otherwise interacting with our website or business channels.
Depending on the nature of your interaction, this information may include:
- Full name
- Company or organization name
- Business email address
- Telephone number
- Job title or professional role, where provided
- Area or type of enquiry
- Project or enquiry details voluntarily submitted by you
- Correspondence and communications with Protech
- Other information you choose to provide in connection with a potential or existing business engagement
Our website may also collect limited technical information automatically, depending on the technologies used by the website, such as browser type, device information, IP address, access times, referring pages and general website usage information.
We ask users not to submit confidential, commercially sensitive, proprietary or sensitive personal information through the general website enquiry form unless specifically requested by Protech through an appropriate communication channel.
How We Use Personal Information
Protech may use personal information for legitimate business and operational purposes, including to:
- Respond to enquiries and consultation requests
- Understand the nature and requirements of a potential project or engagement
- Communicate with prospective and existing clients, partners and other business contacts
- Evaluate whether Protech’s capabilities are relevant to an enquiry
- Prepare for discussions, proposals or potential professional engagements
- Administer and support existing business relationships
- Maintain appropriate business and communication records
- Improve the functionality, security and effectiveness of our website
- Protect our legal and business interests
- Comply with applicable legal, regulatory or contractual requirements
Personal information will not be used for purposes materially unrelated to those for which it was collected unless permitted or required by applicable law or otherwise appropriately communicated.
Disclosure of Personal Information
Protech does not sell or rent personal information.
Personal information may be disclosed only where reasonably necessary for legitimate business purposes or where required or permitted by applicable law.
This may include disclosure to:
- Authorized Protech personnel who require access for legitimate business purposes
- Professional advisers or specialist consultants where necessary and subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations
- Service providers supporting the operation, hosting, security or maintenance of the website or related business systems
- Government authorities, regulators, courts or other competent authorities where disclosure is legally required
- Other parties where disclosure is necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal rights
- A relevant party where the individual has provided appropriate authorization or consent
Where third parties process information on behalf of Protech, we seek to use appropriate contractual, confidentiality and security arrangements consistent with the nature of the information and applicable requirements.
Data Security
Protech takes reasonable administrative, organizational and technical measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, misuse, loss or destruction.
Access to personal information is intended to be limited to individuals who require it for legitimate professional or operational purposes.
While Protech takes reasonable measures to protect information, no website, electronic communication or information-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users should therefore exercise appropriate care when transmitting information electronically and should not send highly confidential, proprietary or sensitive information through general website forms.
Where confidential project or commercial information is required for an engagement, appropriate secure communication channels and confidentiality arrangements may be established separately.
Data Retention
Protech retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including responding to enquiries, managing professional or business relationships, maintaining appropriate business records and satisfying applicable legal, regulatory, contractual or dispute-resolution requirements.
Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information, the purpose for which it was collected, the status of the business relationship and applicable legal or contractual obligations.
When personal information is no longer reasonably required, Protech may securely delete, anonymize or otherwise dispose of it in accordance with applicable requirements and appropriate business practices.
Your Rights
Subject to applicable law and any relevant exceptions, individuals may have rights regarding their personal information, which may include the right to:
- Request information regarding the processing of their personal data
- Request access to personal information held about them
- Request correction or updating of inaccurate or incomplete information
- Request deletion of personal information where applicable
- Request restriction or cessation of certain processing where applicable
- Object to certain processing in circumstances provided by applicable law
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, subject to applicable legal or contractual requirements
The exercise of these rights may be subject to identity verification, legal requirements and applicable exceptions.
Requests relating to personal information may be submitted to Protech using the contact information provided in this Privacy Policy.
The UAE legal framework provides data subjects with protections and rights in relation to their personal data; the precise availability of a right can depend on the circumstances and legal basis for processing.
