2. Scope

This Privacy Policy explains how n13.studio collects, uses, stores, and protects personal data in connection with our website and services. It applies to all visitors, clients, and business contacts.

3. Legal Basis

n13.studio is registered in the Umm Al Quwain Free Trade Zone, which does not maintain its own data protection legislation. Our data processing activities are therefore governed by UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data (UAE PDPL).

Where we process personal data of individuals located in the European Union, we also observe the principles of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to the extent applicable.

4. Data We Collect

a) Data you provide directly:
Name, email address, phone number, company name, and project details — submitted through contact forms, emails, or discovery call bookings.

b) Data collected automatically:
IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and timestamps — collected through server logs and, where applicable, cookies or analytics tools.

5. Purpose of Processing

We process personal data for the following purposes:

• Responding to inquiries and managing client relationships
• Providing our services, including feasibility studies and technical consulting
• Improving our website and user experience
• Complying with legal obligations

6. Legal Basis for Processing

Under the UAE PDPL, we process personal data based on:

• Consent: Where you actively submit your data through our contact forms or booking tools.
• Contractual necessity: Where processing is required to deliver services you have engaged us for.
• Legitimate purpose: Where processing is necessary for our professional operations, provided your rights are not overridden.
• Legal obligation: Where we are required to retain or disclose data under applicable law.

7. Cookies and Analytics

Our website may use essential cookies required for functionality and, where applicable, analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site.

We do not use cookies for advertising or tracking purposes. If analytics tools are deployed, they will be configured to anonymize data where possible.

You may disable cookies through your browser settings at any time.

8. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We may share data with:

• Trusted service providers who process data on our behalf (e.g., hosting, email, analytics), bound by appropriate contractual obligations
• Authorities or regulators where required by UAE law

9. International Data Transfers

As n13.studio operates internationally, personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the UAE. Where such transfers occur, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with Articles 22 and 23 of the UAE PDPL.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. Contact form submissions and client records are retained for the duration of the business relationship plus any legally required retention period.

11. Your Rights

Under the UAE PDPL, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data, subject to legal retention requirements
• Object to or restrict certain types of processing
• Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing
• File a complaint with the UAE Data Office

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at: hello@n13.studio

12. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include encrypted connections (SSL/TLS), access controls, and regular security reviews.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of our website after such changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
