Important Boundary
Submission of a Water Analysis enquiry or RFQ does not constitute:

6. Basis for Processing

Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal and may not require deletion of records that must be retained under another lawful basis.
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:

- contractual safeguards;

13. Marketing Communications
ALPHX will not treat:

as unrestricted consent to unrelated marketing.
Where marketing is used:
