2. Scope of This Policy

This Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect personal data in connection with:

  • (a) our websites and any pages we operate;
  • (b) advertisements we place on third-party platforms on behalf of our clients;
  • (c) enquiry, lead, contact, and registration forms submitted through those advertisements, including Meta Instant Forms and equivalent formats on other platforms;
  • (d) Prime CRM, our lead management platform; and
  • (e) our communications with prospective and existing business clients and their personnel.

Who this Policy is written for

It applies to individuals who submit an enquiry through an advertisement we operate, visitors to our websites, and personnel of our business clients who use Prime CRM.

Our role

In relation to enquiry data, Prime Advertising and the advertising client on whose behalf the campaign was run each determine purposes and means of processing, and each is therefore a controller in respect of its own use of that data. Where we process data solely on a client's documented instructions, we act as a processor for that client. Our client's own privacy policy governs their independent use of your data once it has been delivered to them; we are not responsible for their practices.

3. Personal Data We Collect

3.1 Data you provide through an enquiry form

When you submit an enquiry through an advertisement we operate, we collect the information you enter, which typically includes:

  • Full name
  • Telephone number
  • Email address
  • City, emirate, or country of residence
  • Answers to qualifying questions specific to the campaign, which may include budget range, property type of interest, preferred location, purchase timeframe, financing preference, residency or visa status, and similar commercial preferences
  • Any free-text message or comment you choose to include

The exact fields vary by campaign. The advertising platform's form displays the fields being collected at the point of submission.

3.2 Data provided by advertising platforms

When you submit an enquiry through an advertising platform, that platform provides us with technical and attribution information alongside your submission, including:

  • A platform-assigned lead identifier (for example, a Meta Lead ID)
  • The identifier and name of the advertisement, ad set, and campaign
  • The identifier and name of the form and the page or account that published it
  • The platform and placement on which the advertisement appeared
  • The date and time of submission
  • Advertising click identifiers and similar attribution parameters
  • Whether the submission originated from paid or organic placement

3.3 Data generated during handling of your enquiry

Once your enquiry is delivered, the following is generated and recorded:

  • The status and stage of your enquiry within the sales process
  • Records of contact attempts, including date, time, and number of attempts
  • Notes recorded by the sales representative or by our own media specialists regarding your enquiry, expressed interest, stated requirements, and stated budget
  • Scheduled callback or appointment times
  • The identity of the representative to whom your enquiry is assigned
  • Any classification applied to your enquiry, including quality and qualification indicators
  • Analytical scores derived from the above (see §6)

3.4 Data collected through our websites

Standard technical data including IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, session duration, and interaction events, collected through cookies and similar technologies. See §10.

3.5 Data from other sources

We may obtain personal data from:

  • Our advertising clients, where they provide contact lists or enquiry records for campaign purposes
  • Advertising and analytics platforms, in the form of aggregated performance and audience insights
  • Commercially available and publicly available sources, including business directories, public registries, professional networking platforms, and market data providers
  • Data and market intelligence providers, including property market datasets, where lawfully obtained and permitted for our purposes
  • Referral and introduction sources, where an individual has been referred to us or to a client

3.6 Sensitive personal data

We do not seek sensitive personal data — this includes data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, genetic or biometric data, health data, or data concerning sexual orientation. Please do not include such information in free-text fields. If you do, we will treat it as incidental and delete it where practicable.

On legitimate interests

Where we rely on legitimate interests, we assess whether our interest is outweighed by your rights and freedoms, and we record that assessment. You may object to processing based on legitimate interests — see §11.

On consent

Where consent is our basis, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing carried out before withdrawal. Note that withdrawing consent with us does not withdraw it from a client who has already received your enquiry and is processing it as an independent controller; you should contact them directly.

5. How We Share Your Data

5.1 With the advertising client

The primary purpose of your enquiry is delivery to the client whose product or service you enquired about. We share your enquiry data — including all fields you submitted, the campaign attribution data in §3.2, and the handling data in §3.3 — with that client and with its authorised personnel, including its sales representatives, managers, and administrators.

The client is an independent controller of that data. Their retention, marketing, and disclosure practices are governed by their own privacy policy, and we do not control them. Where the client operates its own CRM, your enquiry may be delivered to that system in addition to Prime CRM.

5.2 With service providers and processors

We engage third parties to provide the infrastructure and services on which our operations depend. These act on our documented instructions under written agreements imposing confidentiality and security obligations. Categories include:

  • Cloud infrastructure, hosting, and database providers (currently including Google Cloud Platform and Firebase)
  • Advertising platforms and their measurement services (Meta, Google, TikTok, Snapchat)
  • Analytics, measurement, and business intelligence providers
  • Communications providers for email, messaging, telephony, and notifications
  • Customer relationship management and workflow tools
  • Security, monitoring, logging, fraud prevention, and error reporting services
  • Data storage, backup, and disaster recovery providers
  • Professional advisers, including legal, accounting, audit, and insurance
  • Payment and billing processors

5.3 With advertising platforms

We transmit data to advertising platforms for measurement, attribution, conversion reporting, campaign optimisation, and audience construction, as described in §7.

5.4 Cross-client analysis and proprietary datasets

We ask you to read this section carefully, as it describes processing that may be less familiar.

We operate advertising campaigns for multiple clients, frequently in related sectors and in the same geographic markets. Where the same individual submits enquiries in response to more than one campaign, whether for the same client or for different clients, we may link those submissions internally to a single contact record maintained by us.

We may also combine enquiry data with:

  • Other data we hold about the same individual from previous enquiries
  • Proprietary datasets we compile, license, or otherwise lawfully obtain, which may include records of property transactions, market activity, and commercial interest
  • Aggregated market, audience, and performance intelligence

We do this in order to:

  • Assess the likely quality, relevance, and seriousness of an enquiry
  • Detect duplicate, invalid, automated, and fraudulent submissions
  • Improve the accuracy of our targeting, exclusion, and audience models
  • Improve the performance of the campaigns we operate
  • Generate market analysis and insight

Important limitations we apply:

  • The linked contact record and the combined analysis are used internally by Prime Advertising and are not disclosed to our clients, except in the form of a derived indicator (such as a quality score) where the relevant client has been enabled to see it.
  • We do not disclose to any client that an individual has submitted an enquiry to a different client, nor do we disclose the identity of any other client to whom an individual has enquired, nor the content of those enquiries.
  • We do not sell this combined data.

If you object to this processing, contact us using the details in §1 and see §11.

5.5 Business transfers

If Prime Advertising is involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, or sale of all or part of its business or assets, personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will require any recipient to honour commitments materially equivalent to those in this Policy, and we will notify you where required by law.

5.6 Legal and protective disclosures

We may disclose personal data where we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to: comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or an enforceable governmental request; enforce our terms and agreements; detect, prevent, or address fraud, security, or technical issues; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Prime Advertising, our clients, our users, or the public.

5.7 What we do not do

We do not sell your personal data. We do not disclose your personal data to third parties for their own independent marketing purposes, other than to the advertising client to whom your enquiry was directed as described in §5.1.

6. Automated Analysis, Scoring, and Profiling

We apply automated analysis to enquiries in order to assess their likely quality, relevance, and priority. This may produce a numerical score or classification band assigned to your enquiry.

Factors that may contribute include: the completeness and content of your answers; the number of enquiries you have submitted and their timing; the characteristics of the campaign and form through which you enquired; the outcome of previous enquiries associated with the same contact details; matches against proprietary datasets we hold; and the time and context of submission.

What this scoring does

It helps us and our clients prioritise which enquiries to contact first, and helps us assess and improve campaign performance. It may also determine which advertising audience segments you are included in or excluded from.

What it does not do

It does not produce a decision with legal effect or similarly significant effect on you. Every enquiry remains available to a human sales representative regardless of score, and no product, service, price, or opportunity is withheld from you on the basis of a score.

You may request information about the logic involved, and you may contest a score or request human review, using the contact details in §1.

7. Advertising Platforms, Conversion Signals, and Audiences

7.1 Conversion and outcome signals

Advertising platforms allow advertisers to report back what happened to an enquiry after it was generated — for example, that it was qualified, that a meeting was arranged, or that it did not proceed. Platforms use these signals to improve the targeting of future advertising.

We transmit such signals to advertising platforms, including through Meta's Conversions API. When we do:

  • We transmit the platform's own lead identifier where available.
  • Where we transmit contact information such as email address or telephone number for matching purposes, it is irreversibly hashed using SHA-256 before transmission. We do not transmit plain-text contact details for this purpose.
  • We transmit the stage or outcome reached and, where relevant, a broad indicator such as a budget band.
  • We do not transmit your free-text notes, the content of your conversations with sales representatives, our internal commentary, or any sensitive personal data.

7.2 Custom audiences

We create and maintain custom audience segments on advertising platforms using irreversibly hashed contact information, in order to reach audiences with characteristics similar to previous enquirers, and to exclude individuals from advertising where appropriate — for example, to avoid showing you advertisements for something you have already told us you are not interested in.

7.3 The platform's own role

Advertising platforms process data under their own privacy policies and terms, and act as independent controllers or joint controllers for certain of their processing. We recommend reviewing:

8. Data Retention

Data categoryRetention
Enquiry records and associated handling data36 months from the date of last interaction, unless a longer period is required by law or for the establishment or defence of legal claims
Internal contact records and analytical datasets (§5.4)36 months from last activity, subject to periodic review
Raw platform payloads and ingestion logs90 days
System audit and access logs24 months
Website analytics data26 months
Business client contractual and financial recordsAs required by UAE commercial, tax, and accounting law, currently a minimum of 5 years
Data subject request records24 months from resolution

Where a business client ceases working with us, we retain enquiry records generated during the engagement for the periods above, for the purposes of contractual record-keeping, dispute resolution, regulatory compliance, and the analytical purposes described in §5.4.

When a retention period expires, we delete the data or irreversibly anonymise it so that it can no longer be associated with an identifiable individual.

9. International Transfers

Prime Advertising is established in the United Arab Emirates. Personal data may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in countries outside the UAE, including where our service providers and the advertising platforms operate infrastructure — this includes the United States, the European Union, and other jurisdictions.

Where we transfer personal data outside the UAE, we do so in accordance with applicable UAE law, relying on:

  • transfer to a jurisdiction subject to an adequacy determination by the competent UAE authority; or
  • appropriate contractual safeguards, including standard contractual clauses or equivalent binding commitments; or
  • your explicit consent, where applicable; or
  • another lawful transfer basis available under applicable law.

You may request further information about the safeguards applied using the contact details in §1.

10. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our websites use cookies and similar technologies for:

  • Strictly necessary purposes — security, session management, load balancing. These cannot be disabled.
  • Analytics — understanding how the site is used so we can improve it.
  • Advertising and measurement — measuring campaign effectiveness and enabling relevant advertising, including through platform pixels and tags.

Where required, we request consent before setting non-essential cookies, and you may change your preferences at any time through the cookie preference control on www.primeadvertising.ae or through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect site functionality.

How to exercise these rights

Contact us at info@primeadvertising.ae with the subject line "Privacy Request". We will verify your identity before acting, which may require additional information. We respond within 30 days, and will tell you if we need longer and why. There is no charge unless a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.

A note on scope

Where your enquiry has already been delivered to an advertising client, that client processes it independently. We will act on your request in respect of our own processing and will forward your request to the client where practicable, but you may also need to contact them directly. We will provide their contact details on request.

12. Security

We maintain technical and organisational measures appropriate to the risk, including:

  • Encryption of data in transit (TLS) and at rest
  • Role-based access control, with access limited to personnel who require it
  • Strict logical separation between the data of different advertising clients, enforced at the infrastructure level
  • Multi-factor authentication for administrative accounts
  • Audit logging of access to and modification of personal data
  • Secrets management, credential rotation, and network controls
  • Regular backups with tested restoration
  • Vulnerability monitoring, dependency scanning, and patching
  • Confidentiality obligations binding our personnel and contractors
  • Incident response procedures, including breach notification to the competent authority and to affected individuals where required

No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a personal data breach occurs that is likely to result in a risk to your rights, we will notify the competent authority and, where required, you, in accordance with applicable law.

13. Children

Our services are directed at adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 18. If we become aware that we have collected such data without appropriate consent, we will delete it. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us at info@primeadvertising.ae.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top indicates when it was last revised. Where changes are material, we will provide additional notice by a prominent banner on www.primeadvertising.ae and, where we hold a valid contact address for you and are required to do so, by email. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically.
