However, we will only otherwise process it: with your consent; for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person; or for reasons of important public interest.

6.6 Objection to processing

Unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, you may have the right to object to our processing of your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation, but only to the extent that the legal basis for the processing is that the processing is necessary for: (i) the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of any official authority vested in us; or (ii) the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party.

You do not have to provide us with your personal data. However, if you choose not to provide certain personal data we request and/or require, or consent to its use and disclosure, you will still be able to visit the Equimap Platform but you may be unable to access certain options, products or services.

We comply with the UAE Privacy Shield Framework regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information.

8. Security

We will take appropriate steps to protect the personal data you share with us. We have implemented technology and security features to safeguard the privacy of your personal data. We invest significant resources to protect your personal data, from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. However, no internet-based site can be 100% secure and we cannot be held responsible for unauthorised or unintended access that is beyond our control.

9. Aggregate data, data analytics and social media functionality

We may aggregate personal data and remove any identifying elements in order to analyse patterns and improve our marketing and promotional efforts, to analyse Platform use, to improve our content and product offerings, and to customise the Equimap Platform’ content, layout, products and services, and we may appoint third parties to do this on our behalf, as set out above.

We gather certain usage information like the number and frequency of visitors to the Equimap Platform. This information may include which webpage you just came from, which webpage you next go to, what browser you are using, your device and your IP address. We only use such data in the aggregate. This collective data helps us to determine how much our customers use parts of the Equimap Platform, and do research on our users’ demographics, interests, and behaviour to better understand and serve you.

If you use buttons on the Equimap Platform linked to social media or similar sites (for example "Like" and/or "Share" buttons), content from the Equimap Platform may be sent back to that other website or service and, depending on your privacy settings, may be privately or publicly visible (for example to friends, followers or generally to anyone who has access to your profile page).

10. Retaining and deleting personal data

Personal data that we process for any purpose or purposes shall not be kept for longer than is necessary for that purpose or those purposes.

In some cases it is not possible for us to specify in advance the periods for which your personal data will be retained.

Notwithstanding the above, we may retain your personal data where such retention is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject.
