Please submit only information you are happy to make public, and only content you have the right to share. Contact details you send only for communication, such as your personal phone number, will not be published unless you ask us to.

Forms and email

We currently receive submissions and enquiries by email at editor@arabianbusinesstime.com. We use the information you send only to respond to you and to process your submission. If we add a submission form in future, this policy will apply to the information collected through it.

Cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. Our website may use cookies to remember preferences, keep the site working and understand how visitors use it.

Our website is hosted on Blogger, a Google service, so cookies may be set by Blogger and Google. You can control or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the website work.

Analytics

We may use analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, to learn how visitors find and use our website. These tools collect information such as pages viewed and general location. This helps us improve our content. We use this information in aggregate and do not use it to identify individual visitors.

Advertising

We do not currently sell advertising on our website. If we use advertising services in future, such as Google AdSense, third-party providers may use cookies to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites. We will update this policy if that happens.

We may share information only:

• With service providers who help us run the website and email, such as Google
• When required by law, regulation or legal process
• To protect our rights, our users or the security of the website
• With your consent

Data retention

We keep your information only as long as needed for the purposes above, or as required by law. Published content remains available until we remove it or you ask us to remove it.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under local data protection laws. To make a request, email editor@arabianbusinesstime.com.

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information. However, no website or email system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
