Introduction

Albait Aldimashqi (“we”, “us” or “our”) is a Data Controller for the purposes of the Data Protection. We will use the personal information you provide, on your behalf, for the purposes set out below. We are committed to protecting your privacy.
Please read this policy carefully as it explains how we use your personal information. If you have any questions about or comments on this policy, please e-mail us on info@albait-aldimashqi.com before using www.albait-aldimashqi.com (“website”).

We may change this policy from time to time by updating this page. You should check this page from time to time to ensure you are happy with any changes.

What information do we collect and why?

In general, you can visit our website without giving us any information and we won’t know who you are. If you are one of our anonymous visitors, please bear in mind that we may still:

• Record the areas of the website which you visit
• Collect information about your computer such as which browser you are using, your network location, the type of connection you are using (e.g. broadband, ADSL etc).

We do this by using Cookies, but we can’t tell who you are.

Additional services may be available if you register with our website (including if you register for our Albait Adimashqi Rewards Club). In this case, once you register we will know who you are, and your activities on our website and information about your computer may be linked to you on our systems. You may also give us:

• Contact information – your name, address, email address and telephone/mobile number;
• General information about you – your interests, experiences with products and services and your contact preferences;
• If you are registering as a Rewards Club member, information to help us send you the promotions that we think fit you the best including your favourite products, hobbies, your birthday and family members (for example, children’s names and birthdays).

The main reason we use this information is to provide you with our products and services (whether available via the website or offline).

If you have opted-in to receive marketing from us then we will also use this information to send you communications (including extra point’s promotions if you’re a Rewards Club member). These will all be sent by Albait Adimashqi but may contain offers and information from other companies that we think you may be interested in, including from our sister company. Rest assured, we will never share your details with other companies to let them send you their marketing directly. For more information on our marketing activities, see our Privacy Promise at the end of this policy.

We may keep copies of any correspondence you send us including questions, feedback, complaints and any problems you have reported, as well as your registration history with us (including Albait Adimashqi Rewards Club registration), competition submissions and responses to our online questionnaires. This is to allow us to respond to you if appropriate, and for our internal record keeping and product development.

Finally we may also use your information for market research and analysis purposes, but this will be on an anonymous basis (so no one will know who you are).

Who do we share this information with?

We may share your information with:

• Companies performing services on our behalf (such as marketing agents, recruitment agents and service providers such as our website host) who will only use the information to provide that service to us. These organisations may provide services to us from other countries, which may mean that personal information is transferred to those other countries;
• Other members of our corporate group  for market analysis purposes (but only on an anonymous basis);
• A purchaser or potential purchaser of our business or assets;
• Organisations which we need to share information with either for legal reasons, to prevent or investigate criminal activity, or to protect our or our customers’ rights (for example the police, the courts, fraud investigation organisations, insurers, solicitors, auditors and financial advisors); and
• Credit checking organisations.

How to get copies of or amend the information we have collected?

You may request details of personal information, which we hold about you. If you would like a copy of the personal information we hold about you please write an e-mail to Customer Services on info@albait-aldimashqi.com, If you need to update any details relating to your Rewards Club registration then you can either update them online at www.albait-aldimashqi.com, or by calling Customer Services.
