Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Next Horizons FZCO (“Next Horizons”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and protects personal data in connection with our website at nexthorizons.ae (the “Website”) and the services we provide. By using our Website or services, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy.

1. Who We Are

Next Horizons FZCO is a company incorporated in the International Free Zone Authority (IFZA), with its registered address at IFZA Business Park 44824, Dubai Silicon Oasis, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. For any privacy-related questions, you can reach us at contact@nexthorizons.ae.

2. Information We Collect

We collect personal data that you provide to us directly, as well as limited technical data that is generated automatically when you interact with our Website.

Information you provide

• Contact details such as your name, company name, email address, and phone number — provided through our contact, mockup request, or call booking forms.
• The content of any message, enquiry, or description you submit.
• Website URLs or other business information you share to obtain a design concept or proposal.
• Scheduling preferences when booking a call, such as preferred dates and time slots.

Information collected automatically

• Standard server logs, including IP address, browser type, device information, referring URL, and pages visited.
• Anonymous usage analytics aimed at understanding aggregate visitor behaviour and improving the Website.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use personal data for the following purposes:

• To respond to enquiries and provide the information or services you have requested.
• To prepare and deliver design concepts, proposals, and quotations.
• To schedule and conduct calls and meetings with prospective and existing clients.
• To deliver, support, and improve our website redesign and due diligence services.
• To maintain business records and comply with applicable legal, regulatory, and accounting obligations.
• To protect the security and integrity of our Website, systems, and services.

We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects, and we do not sell your personal data to third parties.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Where the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021) or other applicable data protection law requires a specific legal basis for processing, we rely on one or more of the following:

• Your consent, where you have provided information voluntarily for a specific purpose.
• The performance of a contract with you, or taking steps at your request prior to entering into a contract.
• Compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject.
• Our legitimate interests in operating, promoting, and improving our services, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.

5. How We Share Information

We share personal data only to the extent necessary to operate our business and deliver our services, and only with the following categories of recipients:

• Trusted service providers who process data on our behalf — for example, email delivery, hosting, analytics, and calendar services — under appropriate confidentiality and data-protection obligations.
• Professional advisors such as auditors and legal counsel, where required.
• Competent authorities, where required by applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request.

For clients of our due diligence platform, the platform itself is deployed within your own infrastructure. Client data, uploaded documents, and generated reports remain in your environment and are not transmitted to or stored by Next Horizons.

6. International Transfers

We are based in the United Arab Emirates. Where personal data is transferred outside the UAE — for example, to service providers located in the European Economic Area or other jurisdictions — we take reasonable steps to ensure an adequate level of protection, including contractual safeguards consistent with applicable data-protection law.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this policy, for the duration of any contract, and to meet applicable legal, tax, accounting, and regulatory requirements. When personal data is no longer required, we securely delete or anonymise it.

8. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encryption in transit, restricted access controls, secure hosting, and confidentiality obligations for our personnel and service providers. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your Rights

Subject to applicable law, you may have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

• The right to access the personal data we hold about you.
• The right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• The right to request deletion of personal data in certain circumstances.
• The right to restrict or object to certain processing activities.
• The right to withdraw consent where processing is based on your consent.
• The right to data portability, where applicable.
• The right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection authority.

To exercise any of these rights, please email us at contact@nexthorizons.ae. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable law.
