⚠ DRAFT — not legal advice. This is a solid first draft tailored to how Qarran actually handles data. Replace every [BRACKETED] item and have a qualified lawyer review it before publishing — especially because the app stores government identity documents (licences, visas, Emirates ID).

Privacy Policy

Last updated: [DATE] · Effective: [DATE]

This Privacy Policy explains how Novara Horizon Group FZE LLC (“we”, “us”), operator of Qarran (“the Service”), collects, uses, stores and protects information. We are based in [EMIRATE], United Arab Emirates. Contact: [privacy@yourdomain.com].

1. Who the Service is for

Qarran is a business tool for contractors and SMEs to manage projects, sales, purchasing and accounting. It is not directed to children and is not intended for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

3. How we use it

Only to operate, secure and support the Service, and to comply with law (including UAE tax record-keeping). We do not sell or share your personal data for advertising.

4. Legal bases (GDPR, if EU/UK users apply)

5. Service providers (sub-processors)

Where data is transferred outside your region, it is protected by appropriate safeguards (e.g. Standard Contractual Clauses).

6. Data retention

We keep your business records while your account is active. Financial/tax records may be retained to meet UAE FTA requirements (generally 5 years, longer for real-estate). On account closure we delete or anonymise personal data within [30–90 days], except where law requires retention.

7. Your rights

GDPR (EU/UK): access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection. CCPA/CPRA (California): the right to know, delete, correct, and opt out of “sale”/“sharing” — we do not sell or share personal information. To exercise any right, contact [privacy@yourdomain.com]. You may also complain to your local data-protection authority.

Note on multi-user companies: the company administrator controls the company’s data and its members; data you enter as an employee belongs to the company account.

8. Security

Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and at rest, access is restricted per company via database row-level security, and access is role-based. No method is 100% secure; see our breach-response process at [link / contact]. (See also our internal Data-Security Statement.)

9. Cookies & local storage

We use only a strictly-necessary session token in local storage to keep you signed in. We do not use advertising or analytics cookies at this time. If that changes, we will add a consent banner.

10. Changes

We will post changes here and update the “Last updated” date; material changes will be notified in-app or by email.
