Why we use your data (PDPL legal bases)

We process your data only when we have a lawful basis under the PDPL:

  • To perform a contract with you: process orders, take payment, deliver items, manage returns/repairs, provide customer support.
  • With your consent: send newsletters/SMS/WhatsApp promotions, place non-essential cookies, run remarketing/targeted ads, use UGC (reviews/photos). You can withdraw consent at any time.
  • Legitimate interests: secure our website, prevent fraud/abuse, improve products and the shopping experience, measure campaign performance—always balanced against your rights.
  • Legal obligations: VAT/tax, consumer protection inquiries, lawful requests from authorities.

How we use your data

  • Fulfil and deliver your orders; provide order updates.
  • Create and manage your account and preferences.
  • Respond to enquiries, alterations/repairs, and after-sales care.
  • Personalise content (e.g., saved addresses, recently viewed).
  • Improve our site, prevent fraud, and keep systems secure.
  • Send marketing only if you opted in (email/SMS/WhatsApp); you can unsubscribe anytime.
  • Run anonymous analytics and performance reporting.

Cookies, analytics & advertising

We use cookies and similar technologies to run the site and understand performance.

  • Essential cookies (strictly necessary): site security, cart, checkout.
  • Performance/analytics: e.g., Google Analytics (aggregated insights).
  • Marketing/remarketing (only with consent): e.g., Meta pixel/ads, Google Ads.

You can manage preferences via our Cookie Settings banner at any time, or in your browser settings (note: blocking cookies may affect some features).

Who we share data with (processors & partners)

We do not sell your personal data. We share limited data with trusted service providers under contracts that require confidentiality and PDPL-level protections, for example:

  • Shopify (website hosting/commerce platform)
  • Payment processors/gateways (card processing; we don’t see full card data)
  • Couriers & logistics partners (delivery and returns)
  • IT, security, analytics, anti-fraud, and marketing platforms (only as needed)
  • Professional advisers (legal/accounting) where required

We may disclose data if required by applicable law, to protect our rights or users, or in connection with a business reorganisation (e.g., merger/transfer), in which case protections will travel with the data where possible.

International Transfers

Some providers may process or store data outside the UAE. When we transfer data internationally, we use one or more PDPL-compliant safeguards—such asadequacy decisions,contractual clauses,binding obligations on the recipient, oryour explicit consent—to ensure an equivalent level of protection.

Data retention

We keep personal data only for as long as needed for the purposes above:

  • Orders & accounting records: typically up to 7 years (to meet tax/legal duties).
  • Accounts & support records: as long as your account is active and a reasonable period afterwards.
  • Marketing lists: until you unsubscribe or withdraw consent.
    When no longer required, data is securely deleted or anonymised.

Your rights

Subject to the PDPL and applicable exceptions, you can:

  • Access your personal data we hold;
  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data;
  • Request erasure where data is no longer needed or consent is withdrawn;
  • Restrict or object to certain processing;
  • Withdraw consent at any time (e.g., marketing);
  • Data portability where applicable.
