Users acknowledge and agree that:
Users acknowledge and agree that Providers are independent third parties who may receive personal information in connection with booking inquiries or arrangements made through the Platform.
MarinArabia does not control and is not responsible for how Providers collect, use, store, or process personal information once it has been shared with them.
Providers may act as independent data controllers with respect to personal information they receive. Users are encouraged to review the privacy policies or practices of any Provider before sharing personal information.
In the event of a data breach or security incident affecting personal information, MarinArabia will take appropriate steps to investigate, mitigate, and respond to the incident in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
Where required, we will notify affected individuals and relevant authorities within the timeframes prescribed by applicable law.
We maintain internal procedures designed to detect, respond to, and manage potential security incidents.

In determining appropriate retention periods, we consider factors such as:
We may retain certain information for a longer period where necessary to comply with legal obligations or to protect our legitimate interests.
When personal information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it.
Please note that some information may be retained following account closure where necessary for legal, regulatory, or legitimate business purposes.
Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information during such transfers.
Such transfers may occur for the purposes of operating the Platform, providing services, or engaging third-party service providers.
You acknowledge that data protection laws in these countries may differ from those in your jurisdiction.
Where applicable, MarinArabia takes reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal information, including the use of contractual protections and other legally recognized mechanisms.
