01Who we are

UAE Look (uaelook.com) is an independent online guide to fashion and lifestyle brands in the United Arab Emirates. In this policy, "we", "us" and "our" mean UAE Look, and "you" means anyone who visits the site or contacts us.

You can reach us at info@uaelook.com.

02Information we collect

Information you give us. When you use our contact form or email us, we collect:

• Your name and email address
• Your brand or company name and website, if you provide them
• The topic you choose and any details you add, such as article ideas, links, dates or the page you want corrected
• The message you write

If you subscribe to a newsletter on our site, we also collect your email address.

Information collected automatically. When you visit the site, our servers and tools may record your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view, the time you visit and the site you came from.

03How we use it

• To reply to your questions, pitches and requests
• To review guest post, sponsored feature and brand submissions
• To correct mistakes you report
• To send newsletters, only if you subscribed, and you can unsubscribe at any time
• To keep the site secure and to prevent spam and abuse
• To understand how readers use the site and improve our guides
• To meet legal obligations

We use your information because you asked us to contact you, because it is needed to run and protect the site, or because you gave us your consent.

04Cookies and analytics

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use essential cookies that keep the site working, and we may use analytics tools such as Google Analytics to see which pages are visited and how readers find us. These tools collect usage data that does not directly identify you.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you do, some parts of the site may not work as expected. You can also use Google's opt-out tools to stop Google Analytics from collecting your data.

05Who we share it with

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with trusted services that help us run the site, and only as much as they need:

• Our website hosting and email providers
• Analytics providers, such as Google
• Newsletter or email tools, if we use them
• Security and spam-protection tools
• Authorities, when the law requires it

These providers process information on our behalf and may only use it to provide their service.

06Guest posts and sponsors

If you contribute a guest post or a sponsored feature, your name, author bio and any links you ask us to include will be published on the site and become public. Please do not send us personal details you do not want published.

Paid and sponsored posts on UAE Look are always labelled. Contacting us about a sponsored feature does not give us permission to publish your private messages.

07Links to other sites

Our guides link to brand websites, shops and other third-party sites. We do not control these sites and are not responsible for their privacy practices. Please read their policies before you share any information with them.

08How long we keep it

We keep contact messages and related details for as long as we need them to reply to you, to keep records of agreed work, or to meet legal obligations. After that, we delete or anonymise them. Newsletter details are kept until you unsubscribe.

09Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information, including secure connections (HTTPS), access controls and spam protection. No website or online service can be completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10Your rights

Depending on where you live, and under laws that may apply to us such as the UAE Personal Data Protection Law, you may have the right to:

• Ask what personal information we hold about you
• Ask us to correct information that is wrong
• Ask us to delete your information
• Object to or limit how we use your information
• Withdraw your consent at any time, for example by unsubscribing
• Complain to your local data protection authority

To use any of these rights, email info@uaelook.com. We may need to confirm who you are before we act on a request.

11Children

UAE Look is not aimed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has sent us information, please email us and we will delete it.

12International transfers

Our readers come from many countries, and some of our service providers may store or process information outside the UAE. Where this happens, we choose providers that use appropriate safeguards to protect your information.

13Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. If a change is significant, we will make that clear on the site.
