The service and this policy
This policy concerns information processed through uae-construction.net, the UAE Construction Directory and its construction and property blog. It covers directory browsing, company submissions, correction requests, reviews and communications with the website.
Contact us through the website if you need clarification about a record or how information relating to you is handled. A listed company is responsible for its own services and information practices.
2. Information you provide
Depending on the feature used, information may include a business name, activities, office address, website, public telephone numbers and emails, profile text, logos and other images. Forms can also collect a submitter's name, email, phone number, authority information, messages and supporting material.
Provide only information you have authority to share. Do not include personal identification documents, confidential project files, financial records or sensitive information unless specifically requested through an appropriate channel.
3. Public company profiles and reviews
Published profiles and approved contributions are accessible to visitors and may be indexed by search engines. Company information may originate from business submissions, existing directory records and public business sources.
Public contact channels supplied for a profile are displayed for business enquiries. Submitter verification details and correspondence are handled for managing requests and are not intentionally published as company profile content. Check the information selected for publication before submitting.
4. Enquiries, update requests and authority
When you send an enquiry to a listed company, your contact details and message may be sent to that company so it can respond. The recipient determines its own subsequent use and retention of that correspondence.
For corrections and ownership-related requests, we may ask for confirmation through a company email or other proportionate evidence of authority. This helps prevent unauthorised changes and does not represent an official business identity audit.
5. Technical information and browser storage
Systems supporting the website may process IP addresses, requested URLs, timestamps, browser and device information, security events, session identifiers and consent preferences. Such information helps operate the service, protect forms, identify misuse and investigate technical problems.
Where configured, analytics and advertising services may process usage information and identifiers according to applicable requirements and the choices available through the consent interface. See the Cookie Policy for further details.
6. Why information is used
We use information to publish and maintain relevant company records, process submissions and updates, moderate contributions, respond to enquiries, deliver requested communications, protect the service and understand its use.
Software and AI providers may assist research, information matching, drafting or translation where those functions are used. Avoid sending unnecessary confidential information. Automated assistance can produce errors; use the contact page to report an inaccurate result.
7. Service providers and other disclosures
Hosting, email, security, analytics, advertising and other technical providers may process information as needed to supply their services. Information may also be disclosed where required by applicable law or reasonably needed to address fraud, a rights complaint or a security incident.
Providers can operate in countries different from yours. Applicable requirements depend on the processing and jurisdictions involved. External company websites, job sources, maps and social platforms apply their own privacy notices.
8. Retention and security
Information is retained according to the purpose for which it was collected, directory maintenance needs, correspondence handling, security requirements and applicable obligations. Public profiles can remain available while maintained as directory records.
We use safeguards appropriate to the service and its risks, but cannot guarantee absolute security. Deleting a live page does not immediately remove backup copies, search-engine caches or records independently held by other websites.
9. Your requests and choices
Depending on the law that applies, you may be able to request access, correction, deletion or other actions concerning personal information. Send the request through the contact page, identify the relevant listing or communication and explain the action sought. We may need to verify your identity or authority.
Requests are assessed under applicable requirements and legitimate retention needs. Use the consent panel and browser settings to manage optional browser storage. Withdrawing an optional preference does not necessarily remove information already sent to an external business in a requested enquiry.
10. Children and information from other people
The service is intended for business discovery and industry reading. Children should not submit listings or personal information without appropriate involvement from a parent or guardian. Contact us if you believe information was submitted inappropriately.
If you supply another person's business contact details, make sure you have an appropriate basis to do so and that the information is relevant to the directory purpose.
11. Updates and privacy enquiries
This policy may change when website features, providers or information practices change. The revision date is shown above.
For privacy questions or a record correction, use the contact page. Include the page URL and requested action, and avoid attaching unnecessary personal or confidential material.
