This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which IT Geek Solutions FZE (the “Company“, “we“, “us” or “our“) collects, uses, maintains and discloses information collected from users (each, a “User“) in connection with the access to or use of the Service.

What Types of Information We Collect
This Policy sets out what personal data we might collect, how we process and protect that data, the lawful grounds for that processing, and your related rights. In most cases, the lawful ground will be that the processing: (i) is necessary for our legitimate interests in carrying out our business, including to grow and improve our Services, provided those interests are not outweighed by your rights and interests (‘Legitimate Interests’), (ii) is necessary to perform a contract with you (‘Contract’), or (iii) we have a legal obligation to carry out the processing (‘Legal Obligation’). Where the processing is based on your consent (‘Consent’), we will identify the processing purposes and provide you with relevant information to make the processing fair and transparent. As data protection law and practice are constantly developing, we’ll need to update this policy from time to time, which we’ll do by posting a new policy on the Website that takes effect from the date stated. It is your responsibility to return to the Website from time to time and check for changes.
