8. International and Cross-Border Processing

ALPHX is based in Dubai and may use service providers or business partners located in other countries.

Personal data may therefore be stored, accessed or processed outside the United Arab Emirates.

Where cross-border processing occurs, ALPHX will use a mechanism and safeguards considered appropriate under applicable law.

Depending on the destination and circumstances, this may include:

These measures may include:

  • encrypted website connections;
  • access controls;

  • secure form delivery;
  • secure email delivery;
  • file-type validation;
  • file-signature validation;

  • a complaint to the competent authority.

ALPHX may request information reasonably necessary to verify identity and authority.

ALPHX may retain a record of the request and response.

13. Marketing Communications

ALPHX will not treat:

  • a technical enquiry;
  • an RFQ;
  • a Contact enquiry;
  • a Company Profile request

as unrestricted consent to unrelated marketing.

Where marketing is used:

  • service communication and marketing consent must be clearly separated;
  • optional marketing consent must not be pre-ticked;
  • each marketing message must provide a practical opt-out;
  • suppression records may be retained to respect opt-out choices;

14. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use essential technologies required for:

  • security;
  • forms;
  • consent choices;
  • core website operation.

Optional:

  • analytics;
  • preference;
  • marketing technologies

will be used only after they are approved and any required consent mechanism is active.

15. Children

The website is intended for business and professional users and is not directed to children.

ALPHX does not knowingly request personal data from children through its B2B enquiry forms.

16. Third-Party Websites and Services

Links to third-party websites are provided for convenience or reference.

ALPHX does not control their privacy practices.

Review the privacy notice of each third-party service before submitting information.
