For example, we may aggregate your Usage Information to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Information with your personal information so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined information as personal information which will be used in accordance with this privacy notice.

If you don’t provide us with personal information which we need to collect by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you, we might not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with products you’ve ordered). In that case, we might have to cancel your order, but we’ll let you know at the time.

What we do with your information

We only use personal information when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we’ll use your personal information in the following circumstances:

Where we need to perform the contract we’re about to enter into or have entered into with you.

Where it’s necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights don’t override those interests.

Where we need to comply with a legal obligation.

Generally, we don’t rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal information (but where we do, you’ve got the right to withdraw consent at any time by contacting us.)

We’ve set out below, in a table format, a description of all the ways we use your personal information, and which of the legal bases we rely on to do so. We’ve also identified what our legitimate interests are where appropriate.

Note that we may process your personal information for more than one lawful ground depending on the specific purpose for which we’re using your information. Please contact us if you need details about the specific legal ground we’re relying on to process your personal information where more than one ground has been set out in the table below

Marketing and promotional offers from us

We want you to be able to make choices about how we use your personal information, especially when it comes to marketing and advertising.

You’ll receive marketing communications from us if you’ve requested information from us (e.g. by signing up to our newsletter) or if you’ve purchased products from us and haven’t opted out of receiving marketing.

Either way, if at any time you change your mind and don’t want to receive marketing messages from us, you can tell us to stop by:

• Unsubscribing (just click on the ‘unsubscribe’ link in any message we send you and follow the instructions – please note that it might take a short period of time to process your unsubscribe request) or
• Sending an email to info@sarazine.com , with ‘Unsubscribe’ as the subject of the email.

Sharing your information

We use a number of different suppliers to provide elements of our service for us. These include: IT suppliers; payment processors; fulfillment companies; email marketing platforms and enterprise management platforms.

In some circumstances we are legally obliged to share personal information with third parties. For example, to comply with a court order. Other times, we share personal information to protect the rights, property or safety of us or others. For example, to prevent fraud and reduce credit risk. In any scenario, we’ll satisfy ourselves that our sharing is lawful.

We might also share your information with another business if we buy/sell any business or assets from/to them, or are otherwise combined with that business (including during any negotiations with them). If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal information in the same way as set out in this privacy notice.

International transfers

We’re based in the UNITED ARAB EMIRATES. Our products can be a purchased from other countries outside of the UAE as are many of the visitors to our website and our valued customers. So when you use our website, it will involve transferring your personal information from your country to a country which may not have the same degree of protection in place.

How long we keep your information

We’ll only keep your personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We might keep your personal information for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there’s a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

Please contact us for details of retention periods for different aspects of your personal information.

Your legal rights

In all circumstances, you have the right to:

• Request access to your personal information. This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we’re lawfully processing it.
• Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected, though we might need to verify the accuracy of the new information you provide to us.
• Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there’s no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you’ve successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we’re required to erase your personal information to comply with local law. Note, however, that we might not always be able to comply with your request for erasure because of specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
• Object to processing of your personal information where we’re relying on our own legitimate interest (or that of a third party) and there’s something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You’ve also got the right to object where we’re processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
• Request restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal information in the following scenarios:
  • If you want us to establish the information’s accuracy.
  • Where our use of the information is unlawful but you don’t want us to erase it.
  • Where you need us to hold the information even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
  • You’ve objected to our use of your information but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
• Request the transfer of your personal information to you or to a third party. We’ll provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use, or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
• Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal information. However, this won’t affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We’ll advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
• Lodge a complaint with the relevant regulator if you feel that your personal information hasn’t been handled correctly, or you’re not happy with the way we’ve responded to anything you’ve asked us to do with your personal information. If you’re based outside of the United Arab Emirates, you’ve got the right to complain to the relevant data protection authority in your country by sending us an email to : info@sarazine.com
