Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Areeb Digital ("the Company", "we") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This policy explains how we collect, use, share and protect your data when you use our website areebd.sa and the apps and platforms we publish, including the Nas Life platform ("the Services").

We comply with the Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, issued by Royal Decree No. (M/19) dated 9/2/1443 AH, as amended, and its Implementing Regulations, together with other applicable laws.

2. Data we collect

Depending on the service you use, we may collect:

• Account data: name, email address, phone number, profile photo and any information you add to your profile.
• Usage data: interactions within the app, content you post, messages, and listings and orders in the marketplace.
• Location: with your permission, to show nearby places, circles and offers. You can withdraw the permission in your device settings at any time.
• Device and log data: device type, operating system, app identifiers, IP address and crash logs, for security and performance.
• Communications: what you send us by email, support channels or website forms.

Our website does not use cookies for tracking or advertising. We use a self-hosted analytics tool that collects no personal data and sets no cookies.

3. How we use your data

• To provide, operate, maintain and improve the Services.
• To create your account, verify your identity and protect it.
• To show content and offers relevant to your location and interests within the Service.
• To communicate with you about your account, updates, support and your requests.
• To detect and prevent fraud and abuse, and to comply with legal obligations.

4. Legal basis for processing

We process your data on the basis of your consent, the performance of our contract with you (the Terms of Use), compliance with a legal obligation, or a legitimate interest that does not override your rights, as permitted by the PDPL. [Legal review required]

5. Sharing your data

We do not sell your personal data. We may share it with:

• Service providers acting on our behalf (cloud hosting, notifications, payment processing, crash analytics) under agreements that require them to protect the data.
• Other users, to the extent you choose to make information public within the Service (such as your profile and listings).
• Competent authorities where required by law or to protect our rights and the rights of users.

[Legal review required]

6. Transfers outside Saudi Arabia

Some data may be stored or processed by service providers outside the Kingdom. In that case we apply the safeguards required by the PDPL and its Implementing Regulations for data transfers. [Legal review required]

7. Data retention

We keep your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Services, after which we delete or anonymise it unless the law requires a longer retention period. [Legal review required]

8. Security

We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures, including encryption in transit, access controls and monitoring. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

9. Your rights

Under the PDPL you have the right to be informed about how your data is processed, to access it and obtain a copy, to request correction, completion or updating, to request destruction when it is no longer needed, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, email info@areebd.sa or support@areebd.sa.

To delete your account in one of our apps, see the App Support page.

10. Children

Our Services are not directed at anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect data from them. If we learn that data was collected from a child without parental consent, we will delete it. [Legal review required]

11. Third-party links and services

Our Services may contain links to websites or services we do not operate, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will publish the updated version on this page with the date of the last update, and notify you of material changes through the Service or by email.
