6. PURPOSE

As an international company with Users worldwide, Mered may transfer and access personal information around the world, including to and from the European Economic Area. To comply with applicable laws and regulations, Mered maintains strong data protection and privacy controls to protect Users' personal information during cross-border and international transfers, as well as during periods of storage in foreign countries.

Mered believes that the User's essential privacy rights are not contingent on his/her nationality or residency. While applicable laws always govern data privacy matters, Mered intends for this Privacy Policy to apply generally to Users and their personal information around the world. Nevertheless, privacy laws and regulations are a constantly changing landscape, so Mered reserves the right to deviate from this Privacy Policy where applicable law provides for a different approach.

7. KEEPING PERSONAL INFORMATION

Mered will only keep personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).

When Mered has no ongoing legitimate business need to process the personal information of the User, the Company will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because personal information has been stored in backup archives), then Mered will securely store personal data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

8. KEEPING PERSONAL INFORMATION SAFE

Mered aims to protect Users' personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.

Mered has implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information the Company processes. However, Users also should remember that Mered cannot guarantee that the Internet itself is 100% secure. Although the Company will do its best to protect personal information, the transmission of personal information to and from Mered website is at the User own risk. Users should only access the services within a secure environment.

9. USER PRIVACY RIGHTS

The Users have certain rights under applicable data protection laws which include the right:

• to request access and obtain a copy of the User's personal information
• to request rectification or erasure

• if applicable, to data portability.

In certain circumstances, the User may also have the right to object to the processing of his/her personal information. To make such a request, the User should contact Mered at office@mered.ae. The Company will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

If we are relying on your consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please note, however, that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal.

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area and you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal data, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection supervisory authority. You can find their contact details here: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/bodies/authorities/index_en.htm.
