Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

This Privacy Policy explains how Sygnific FZ-LLC collects, uses, stores and protects personal information obtained through sygnific.global and any related communications.

Sygnific FZ-LLC is the data controller responsible for personal information collected through the website.

In this Policy, "Sygnific", "we", "us" and "our" refer to Sygnific FZ-LLC. "You" refers to any person accessing the website or submitting information through it.

2. What We Collect

We collect only the information you choose to provide. Depending on how you interact with the website, this may include:

We do not collect sensitive personal data such as health information, financial account details, government identification numbers, or political or religious views.

3. How We Collect It

We collect personal information through the following means:

• Contact form — when you submit an enquiry through the website form;
• Meeting scheduling — when you book an introductory or strategy call through our scheduling platform;
• Email — when you contact us directly at info@sygnific.global;
• Automatic collection — technical data collected by our hosting infrastructure when you visit the website.

We do not purchase personal data from third parties or collect information from social media profiles without your direct involvement.

4. How We Use Your Data

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• reviewing and responding to your enquiry;
• arranging and managing introductory or strategy calls;
• evaluating whether a potential engagement may be appropriate;
• preparing and delivering a proposal where requested;
• managing the resulting business relationship if an engagement proceeds;
• communicating relevant updates about Sygnific services where you have consented or where we have a legitimate interest;
• complying with applicable legal and record-keeping obligations;
• maintaining the security and functionality of the website.

We do not use your personal information for automated decision-making or profiling.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

Where applicable data protection laws require a legal basis for processing personal data, we rely on the following:

• Contractual necessity — to take steps prior to entering into an agreement and to fulfil our obligations under it;
• Legitimate interests — to respond to enquiries, manage business relationships and maintain the security of the website, provided that our interests are not overridden by your rights;
• Legal obligation — to comply with applicable laws, regulations and governmental requests;
• Consent — where we have obtained your prior agreement for a specific use, such as sending executive updates or insights.

Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time by contacting us at info@sygnific.global. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

6. How Long We Keep It

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law.

• Enquiries that do not lead to an engagement — retained for up to 24 months to enable us to respond to any follow-up contact;
• Engagements that proceed — retained for the duration of the engagement and for a period of up to 7 years thereafter for legal and record-keeping purposes;
• Meeting scheduling records — retained in accordance with the scheduling platform's own retention policy;
• Technical data — typically retained for up to 90 days by our hosting infrastructure.

When personal information is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised.

7. Who We Share It With

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

• Service providers — third-party platforms that support the operation of the website and our business processes (see section 8);
• Professional advisers — lawyers, accountants or auditors where necessary for compliance, dispute resolution or due diligence;
• Competent authorities — where required by law, court order or regulatory request.

Where we share personal information with service providers, we take reasonable steps to ensure they process it only on our behalf and in accordance with applicable law.

8. Third-Party Services

The website uses the following third-party services that may process personal data:

Each of these providers operates under its own terms of service and privacy policy. We encourage you to review those policies if you have questions about how they handle personal data.

9. International Transfers

Sygnific is based in the United Arab Emirates. Personal information you submit through the website may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence, including the UAE and the countries where our service providers operate.

We take reasonable steps to ensure that any international transfer of personal data is subject to appropriate safeguards consistent with applicable law.

If you are located in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, please note that the UAE is not currently recognised as providing an equivalent level of data protection under EU or UK law. Where such transfers occur, we rely on appropriate transfer mechanisms and the limited derogations available under applicable law, including where the transfer is necessary to perform a contract with you or to take pre-contractual steps at your request.

10. Cookies and Tracking

The website uses a limited number of technical mechanisms to support its operation:

• Strictly necessary functions — the website does not set persistent marketing or analytics cookies directly;
• Hosting infrastructure — Vercel may collect technical access logs including IP addresses as part of standard hosting operations;
• Third-party embeds — the Koalendar scheduling widget may set cookies when you interact with it, governed by Koalendar's own cookie policy.

We do not currently use advertising cookies, cross-site tracking, or retargeting technologies on this website.

You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences. Disabling certain cookies may affect the availability of some website features.

11. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction.

These measures include secure hosting infrastructure, encrypted data transmission over HTTPS, and limiting access to personal information to those who require it for legitimate business purposes.

No system of data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be fully secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please contact us immediately at info@sygnific.global.

12. Your Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to:
