1. Policy on Privacy and Notice

The European Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (ECCKSA) collects, processes, and uses personal data, particularly data voluntarily submitted by you or in connection to your membership with the ECCKSA (Data). Your Data is collected, processed, and used in accordance with Saudi Arabia’s Personal Data Protection Law.

1.1 Personal Data

As part of your membership, the ECCKSA will require that you provide your name, email address, and other information and we may also collect other personal information during the course of your membership, all necessary to help us provide our membership services to you. Uses of your Data for such services include but are not limited to marketing our events and services, publishing, our Membership Directory, the ECCKSA website, and on the ECCKSA social media accounts, improving our services, and informing you about new ECCKSA or third party services, upcoming offers, and events. You acknowledge that your Data may be used by us or third-parties performing services for us, so as to provide you with these and other membership services as well as for the overall operation of the ECCKSA. Third-parties may include a subcontractor, professional or other service provider, another affiliated Chamber, or a member.

The ECCKSA will use some of your Data submitted as part of the Membership Application Form in the online and print versions of our Membership Directory. This Data includes your name, photo, title, company, company address, telephone number, fax number, and email address.

The ECCKSA will retain your Data for the period necessary to fulfill the purpose of providing membership services to you and for a reasonable period thereafter, to otherwise comply with this Privacy Policy, and/or until such time as you request its deletion, 1 whichever occurs first.

1.2 Protecting Your Privacy

The ECCKSA will not sell or lease your Data. It will only be provided to a third-party so as to facilitate the provision of membership services or services to the ECCKSA. It will not otherwise be shared without your prior written consent, except to comply with the order of any court of law or governmental department acting within its jurisdiction or powers, or to otherwise comply with the laws of The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Data may be transferred by the ECCKSA to such a third-party overseas provided that, in any such case, either there are laws in force in that country or such companies/parties are bound by contractual terms, which are substantially similar to, or serve the same purposes as, Saudi laws governing the protection of your Data.

These rights include the right to: i. Inquire and request a review of your Data; ii. Request copies of your Data; iii. Request a supplement or correction to your Data; iv. Request the cessation of the collection, processing or use of your data; and v. Request the deletion of your Data.

You are entitled to exercise your statutory rights at any time. You may do so by addressing a written request to the ECCKSA by email (secretariat@eccksa.eu).
