OBS Live — One Business Media Network — is the business media and content platform of the OBS Global Ecosystem, with its editorial base in the United Arab Emirates. OBS Live is the controller of personal data collected through this website. This policy is intended to align with the UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data and, where applicable, the EU and UK GDPR.

We do not sell personal data.

We process personal data on the basis of your consent (for example newsletters and form submissions), our legitimate interests in operating an independent media platform, the performance of agreements with partners, and compliance with legal obligations.

We share data with service providers who host the website, deliver email and provide analytics, under contracts that protect your data. Partnership enquiries may be shared with the OBS Global partnerships team (join@obsglobal.co). We may disclose data where required by law.

Our providers may process data outside the UAE. Where they do, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as contractual clauses and adequacy decisions.

We keep enquiry and submission data for as long as needed to handle them and for a reasonable period afterwards for editorial accountability. Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe.

Subject to applicable law, you may request access to, correction or deletion of your personal data, object to or restrict processing, withdraw consent and request portability. You may also complain to the competent data-protection authority.

We use essential cookies to run the site securely. With your consent, we use analytics cookies to understand how the site is used and, where applicable, advertising cookies to measure campaigns. You can change your preferences at any time through your browser settings or our cookie preferences control.

• Essential — security, load balancing and form protection. Always on.
• Analytics — aggregated, privacy-respecting usage measurement. Consent-based.
