2.3 Automatically Collected Data

Like most websites, we may automatically collect limited technical information when you browse the Website, including your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, language preferences, access timestamps, pages visited, time spent on pages, referring and exit pages, and approximate geographic location derived from your IP address, typically through cookies or similar tracking technologies.

3. How We Use Your Personal Data

We process personal data for the following purposes:

  • To respond to enquiries submitted through the Contact form and to communicate with prospective business partners

  • To assess and process job applications, including contacting candidates about their application status

  • To operate, maintain, and improve the Website

  • To comply with legal, regulatory, and governance obligations applicable in the Kingdom of Bahrain

We do not currently use personal data submitted through these forms for fully automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects without meaningful human oversight. We may use automated tools as part of our recruitment screening processes, but any decisions with significant impact on you will involve human review.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Under the PDPL, we rely on the following legal bases to process your personal data:

  • Consent, given when you voluntarily submit your personal data to us through any channel, including forms on the Website

  • Performance of steps taken at your request prior to entering a relationship with us, such as evaluating a job application

  • Our legitimate business interests, such as responding to enquiries and safeguarding the Website, provided these interests do not override your rights

  • Compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject in Bahrain

5. Sharing and Disclosure of Personal Data

We do not sell or rent personal data. We may share personal data only in the following circumstances:

  • With group companies within the Lifestyle Enterprises portfolio (including The Collection, Faalyat, and Onboard Travel & Tours) where relevant to your enquiry or application

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Website may use cookies and similar technologies to ensure core functionality (strictly necessary cookies), remember your preferences (functional cookies), understand how visitors use the Website (analytics cookies), and deliver relevant content (performance cookies). You can control or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings, or any cookie consent mechanism provided on the Website; however, disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect certain features of the Website. For more information on the specific cookies we use, please refer to our Cookie Notice (if published separately).

7. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, or as required by applicable law. Business enquiries are typically retained for the duration of the relevant discussion and up to two (2) years thereafter. Job applications and CVs are retained for the duration of the recruitment process and, where you consent, for up to twelve (12) months afterward for consideration of future opportunities. Automatically collected technical data is retained for up to twenty-four (24) months. Once no longer needed, personal data is securely deleted or anonymized.

8. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include access controls, encryption of data in transit, secure hosting environments, and staff awareness training. While we take data protection seriously, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights, we will notify the relevant authorities and, where required, affected individuals in accordance with the PDPL.

9. International Data Transfers

Personal data may be processed on servers located outside Bahrain, including by trusted technology and hosting providers. Where this occurs, we ensure such transfers are subject to appropriate safeguards consistent with the requirements of the PDPL, which may include standard contractual clauses, data processing agreements with the recipient, or reliance on the recipient's compliance with data protection standards recognized by the Personal Data Protection Authority.
