This includes improving our services, preventing fraud, and ensuring network and information security.
  • Consent: Where required, we will obtain your explicit consent for specific processing activities, such as sending direct marketing communications. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

Alawin may share your personal information with third parties under specific circumstances:

These providers are obligated to protect your data and use it only for the purposes for which it was disclosed.
  • Regulatory and Law Enforcement Bodies: We may disclose your information to government authorities, regulators, and law enforcement agencies when required by law, court order, or to comply with our licensing obligations.

Alawin ensures that any third party with whom we share data adheres to similar data protection standards and practices.

Data Security

Alawin implements robust technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. We utilize encryption technologies (such as SSL), firewalls, and secure server environments. Access to your personal information is restricted to authorized personnel who require it for their job functions. While we strive to protect your data, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

  • Right to Restrict Processing: You can request that we limit the way we use your personal data in certain situations.
  • Right to Data Portability: You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit that data to another controller.
