For privacy requests, contact us at info@icework.ae or +971 52 231 4501. Please write “Privacy Request” in the email subject line.
2. Scope of this Policy
This Policy applies to personal data processed through our website and in connection with enquiries, viewings, workspace bookings, memberships, business-address services, meeting-room services and related customer support. It does not govern third-party websites or services that have their own privacy notices.
3. Personal data we collect
3.1 Information you provide
- Contact details, including your name, telephone number, email address and preferred contact channel.
- Enquiry details, including your comments, workspace requirements, team size, move-in timing and viewing preferences.
- Customer and contract information needed to prepare, enter into and administer a service agreement, including company details, authorised representatives, billing details and correspondence.
- Identity, eligibility or compliance documents where required for a requested service or by applicable law.
- Communications and feedback you send to us through email, telephone, WhatsApp, social media or in person.
3.2 Information collected automatically
- Technical data such as IP address, browser and device type, operating system, approximate location, referring page, pages viewed, date and time of access, and server or security logs.
- Cookie and similar-technology data used to operate the site, remember preferences, understand performance and display embedded services.
- Interaction data generated when you use embedded maps, widgets, links or messaging tools.
3.3 Information from third parties
We may receive information from a person acting for your organisation, referral partners, public registers, payment or compliance providers, social media platforms, WhatsApp/Meta services, or other parties you ask to communicate with us. We collect only what is relevant for the stated purpose.
4. Why and on what basis we use personal data
- To respond to enquiries, provide quotations, check availability and arrange viewings or bookings, at your request, to take steps before a contract, or with your consent where required.
- To enter into and perform contracts, provide workspace and support services, administer access, invoices, payments and customer communications, because processing is necessary to perform our agreement.
- To verify eligibility, prevent fraud, keep records, respond to authorities and comply with legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and safety obligations, because processing is required by applicable law.
- To secure, troubleshoot and improve our website and services, manage capacity, and protect our rights, users and premises, where necessary for our legitimate interests and permitted by law.
- To send marketing or promotional communications, only where permitted by law and, where required, with your consent. You may opt out at any time.
Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting processing already carried out lawfully. If information is required to enter into or perform a contract, failure to provide it may prevent us from providing the requested service.
5. Cookies and third-party features
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies. Essential technologies support security and basic operation. Optional technologies and embedded services may collect technical and interaction data. Where required, we will request consent before placing non-essential cookies.
- Google Maps: the embedded location map may allow Google to receive device, IP, usage and cookie data under Google’s own privacy terms.
- WhatsApp: if you choose a WhatsApp link, Meta/WhatsApp will process your account, device and message data under its own terms. Do not send sensitive documents through WhatsApp unless we specifically request a secure method.
- YourGood widget: the website loads a third-party widget that may process technical and interaction data to provide its functionality.
- WordPress and infrastructure providers: hosting, security, content delivery, email and website-support suppliers may process limited data on our instructions.
You can control cookies through the cookie controls made available on the site and through your browser settings. Blocking some technologies may affect site functionality. Third-party providers determine the lifespan of their own cookies and may process data outside the UAE.
6. When we share personal data
We may disclose personal data only as reasonably necessary to:
- our employees and authorised personnel who need it for their work;
- hosting, IT, communications, CRM, booking, payment, professional advisory, security, facilities and compliance providers acting for us;
- Google, Meta/WhatsApp, YourGood and other services you choose to use or that are embedded in the website;
- our owner, affiliates, successors or transaction counterparties in connection with a genuine corporate reorganisation or business transfer, subject to appropriate safeguards;
- courts, regulators, law-enforcement bodies or other authorities where required or permitted by law; or
- another party where you direct us or give valid consent.
We do not sell or rent personal data. Service providers must process data only for authorised purposes and protect it appropriately, subject to their independent obligations where they act as separate controllers.
7. International transfers
Some providers may store or access personal data outside the UAE. Where personal data is transferred internationally, we use measures required by applicable UAE law, which may include transfer to a jurisdiction offering an adequate level of protection, contractual safeguards, your explicit consent where legally valid, or another permitted exception. You may contact us for information about safeguards relevant to your data.
8. How long we keep personal data
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including to provide services and satisfy legal, accounting, dispute-resolution and security requirements. In general:
- enquiry data is normally kept for up to 24 months after the last meaningful interaction, unless you become a customer or ask us to delete it sooner;
- contract, billing and compliance records are kept for the period required by applicable UAE law and for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;
- marketing records are kept until you withdraw consent or opt out, after which we may retain a minimal suppression record to respect your preference;
- technical and security logs are kept for a limited period proportionate to operational and security needs.
We may retain anonymised or aggregated information that no longer identifies you.
9. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure. Measures may include access controls, secure hosting, staff confidentiality, backups, monitoring and vendor safeguards. No online system is completely secure, so please avoid sending unnecessary sensitive data through open website forms or messaging services.
10. Your rights
Subject to the UAE Personal Data Protection Law and applicable exceptions, you may have the right to:
- obtain information about and access personal data we process about you;
- request correction or updating of inaccurate or incomplete data;
- request deletion of data where the legal conditions are met;
- request restriction or cessation of processing, including objecting to direct marketing;
- receive or transfer certain personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format;
- withdraw consent where consent is the basis for processing; and
- raise a complaint with the UAE Data Office or another competent authority.
To exercise a right, email info@icework.ae. We may request information needed to verify your identity and authority. Rights are not absolute: we may decline or limit a request where permitted by law, including where records must be retained or disclosure would affect another person’s rights, security or legal proceedings.
11. Marketing communications
You may stop promotional messages at any time by using the unsubscribe method in the message, replying with an opt-out request, or contacting info@icework.ae. Service messages about an enquiry, booking, contract, payment, safety or access are not marketing and may continue where necessary.
12. Children
Our website and services are intended for business users and are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18 through the website. If you believe a child has provided personal data, please contact us so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete it.
13. External links
Our website may link to third-party sites and social platforms. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Review the privacy notice of each service before providing personal data.
14. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy to reflect changes in our services, technology or legal requirements. The revised version will be posted on icework.ae with a new effective date. Material changes may also be communicated through an appropriate additional notice.
