Examples include hotels, airlines, transportation companies, tour operators, visa processing agencies, payment processors, and IT service providers. We only share the information necessary for them to perform their services.
- Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information where we are legally required to do so in order to comply with applicable law, governmental requests, a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process, such as in response to a court order or a subpoena (including in response to public authorities to meet national security or law enforcement requirements).

Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information. This helps us understand how you use our site, personalize your experience, and potentially serve you relevant advertisements. You can control the use of cookies through your browser settings.
Data Security
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information.
Data Retention
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
Your Data Protection Rights
Depending on your location and applicable data protection laws, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:
- Right to Access: The right to request access to your personal information and obtain a copy of the data we hold about you.
- Right to Rectification: The right to request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal information we hold about you.
- Right to Erasure: The right to request the deletion or removal of your personal information under certain circumstances ("right to be forgotten").
- Right to Restriction of Processing: The right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal information under certain conditions.
- Right to Data Portability: The right to receive your personal information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another controller.
- Right to Object: The right to object to our processing of your personal information based on our legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.
- Rights related to automated decision making: The right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.
- Right to Withdraw Consent: If we rely on your consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the contact details provided below. We will respond to your request in accordance with applicable data protection laws. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe our processing of your personal information infringes applicable law.
International Data Transfers
Your information, including personal data, may be transferred to—and maintained on—computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those from your jurisdiction. Arabian Gulf Experiences is based in the UAE, and your information will be processed there. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy and no transfer of your personal data will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place, including the security of your data and other personal information.
Links to Other Websites
Our service may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
Children's Privacy
Our service is not directed at anyone under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under 16. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from anyone under the age of 16 without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.
