Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how information submitted through samarqatarneh.com is handled when you visit the website or contact the advisory practice.

2. Information you provide

Depending on the website features enabled at launch, information may include:

• your name;
• organisation;
• work email address;
• country or market;
• area of interest;
• information you include in an enquiry;
• newsletter details, if a newsletter is introduced later and you choose to subscribe.

Please do not submit highly confidential, privileged or commercially sensitive information through the public website form.

3. Information collected automatically

The website may process limited technical information needed to operate securely and reliably, such as IP address, browser/device information, server logs and anti-spam/security signals.

If analytics are enabled, this section must name the provider and describe the categories of information collected, cookie behaviour and legal basis/consent model where required.

4. How information is used

Information may be used to:

• respond to enquiries;
• assess whether a requested engagement is aligned with the advisory practice;
• communicate about potential services or next steps;
• maintain reasonable business correspondence records;
• operate, secure and improve the website;
• meet legal or regulatory obligations.

Information will not be used to imply that an enquiry has created a professional advisory relationship before a written engagement is agreed.

5. Service providers

The final policy must identify relevant categories/providers used for:

• website hosting;
• form processing;
• email delivery;
• analytics;
• anti-spam/security;
• CRM or newsletter services, if introduced.

Providers should receive only the information necessary for their role and should be subject to appropriate contractual/privacy safeguards.

6. Cookies

Essential technologies required for the website to function may be used. Any analytics, advertising or non-essential cookies must be described accurately and handled in accordance with applicable consent requirements.

Do not publish a cookie section that names tools not actually deployed.

7. Data retention

Personal information should be retained only for as long as reasonably required for the purpose for which it was collected, business/legal recordkeeping and any applicable legal obligations.

8. Data sharing

Personal information is not sold. Information may be shared with approved service providers supporting the website or communications, or where disclosure is required by law or necessary to protect legitimate legal rights.

9. International transfers

If providers process information outside the visitor's country, the final policy should explain the relevant transfer safeguards where legally required.

10. Security

Reasonable organisational and technical measures should be used to protect personal information. No internet transmission or storage method can be guaranteed completely secure.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights relating to access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection or withdrawal of consent.
