01What this covers
This policy explains what information United Expats in UAE ("we", "this guide") collects when you visit ueinuae.world, and how that information is used. This site is a free community resource — we don't sell your data, and we keep what we collect to a minimum.
02Information we collect
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use this site — which pages are read, which links are clicked, and general location and device information (like country and browser type). This is standard, aggregated website analytics — it does not identify you personally.
We do not collect names, emails, or phone numbers through this website directly. If you choose to contact a business through the directory, or apply for a listing via WhatsApp, that conversation happens directly between you and that business or with us on WhatsApp — it is not collected or stored by this website.
03Cookies
Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish visitors and sessions. You can disable cookies through your browser settings at any time, which may limit some site functionality but won't prevent you from reading the guide or directory.
04Third-party links
This guide links out to third-party websites, WhatsApp groups, and business listings. We aren't responsible for the privacy practices of those external sites — once you leave ueinuae.world, their own privacy policy applies.
05Business directory listings
Businesses that apply for a directory listing provide their business name, category, and contact details directly to us via WhatsApp for the purpose of being listed. This information is displayed publicly in the directory as part of the paid or free listing service, with the business's agreement.
06Your rights
If you have questions about your data, or want a business listing removed, message us through the community WhatsApp group and we'll handle it directly.
07Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site grows. Significant changes will be reflected with a new "last updated" date at the top of this page.
