DOT Ventures General Trading L.L.C (“we”, “us”, or “our”) operates dot-ventures.co (the “Website”). We are committed to protecting the corporate, professional, and personal data of our website visitors, clients, partners, and suppliers.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our Website or engage with our business communications, in accordance with the data protection regulations of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and relevant international data standards.
1. Information We Collect
Because dot-ventures.co acts as an informational B2B portal rather than a consumer e-commerce platform, we only collect information necessary to facilitate business communication, corporate inquiries, and partnership evaluations.
A. Voluntary Information provided by You
When you contact us via email, phone, or through any inquiry forms on the Website, you may provide us with:
- Identity Data: Full name, job title, and company role.
- Corporate Data: Company name, trade license details, corporate registration country, and nature of business.
- Contact Data: Corporate email address, telephone number, and physical office address.
- Transaction/Inquiry Data: Details about the metals, minerals, electronics, or telecom products your company intends to source or trade.
B. Automatically Collected Data
When you navigate our Website, we may automatically collect certain technical tracking details:
- Technical Data: Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, time zone setting, and operating system.
- Usage Data: Information about how you navigate and interact with our Website pages.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect strictly for professional and legitimate business purposes, including:
- Responding to Inquiries: Processing your corporate B2B requests, quotes, and trade proposals.
- Commercial Coordination: Aligning procurement and supply workflows across our parent entity and subsidiaries (Air Connect FZCO and Nova Telecom FZCO).
- Compliance & Due Diligence: Conducting necessary corporate background checks, Know-Your-Customer (KYC) procedures, and anti-money laundering (AML) screenings.
- Website Maintenance: Improving the layout, security, and technical performance of our digital presence.
3. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or lease your corporate or personal data to third parties. We may, however, share your information with trusted entities within the scope of our business operations:
- Group Entities: We share relevant inquiry details among our subsidiaries (Air Connect FZCO and Nova Telecom FZCO) to fulfill specific telecom, mobile logistics, or vendor coordination requirements.
- Logistics & Third-Party Service Providers: We may share necessary details with our trusted, outsourced logistics partners to execute shipping and freight coordination.
- Legal & Regulatory Authorities: We will disclose information if required to do so by UAE law, court order, or governmental authorities to ensure regulatory compliance and prevent fraudulent trade activity.
4. International Data Transfers
DOT Ventures operates across a global footprint, including the GCC, Europe, USA, Hong Kong, South Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Information we collect may be transferred to, stored at, and processed in destinations outside your home country. By interacting with our Website and submitting inquiries, you acknowledge and agree to these cross-border corporate data transfers.
5. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical, organizational, and physical security measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, accidental loss, alteration, or disclosure. Access to your data is restricted to authorized employees, group entities, and contractors who require the information to execute corporate trading functions.
6. Data Retention
We retain your business contact and transaction inquiry data only for as long as is strictly necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, handle commercial operations, or meet statutory legal, financial, and tax reporting obligations in the United Arab Emirates.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may hold specific rights regarding your personal and corporate data under applicable local privacy laws (such as the UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on Personal Data Protection). These may include the right to:
- Request access to the data we hold about your business.
