Abu Dhabi Investment Office
Privacy Policy
The Abu Dhabi Investment Office (“ADIO”, “we”, “us”) is committed to protecting the privacy of everyone who visits the Abu Dhabi Investment Observatory. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to this website and the services offered through it.
Information we collect
We collect information in two ways: information you provide to us directly, and information gathered automatically as you use the site.
- Information you give us: such as your name, organisation, email address and message when you contact us, subscribe to the investor briefing, or submit an eligibility enquiry.
- Information collected automatically: such as your device type, browser, approximate location, the pages you view and how you reach them. This is gathered through cookies and similar technologies described in our Cookie Policy.
How we use your information
We process your information to operate, secure and improve the Observatory, and to respond to you. Specifically, we use it to:
- provide the dashboards, tools and content you request;
- respond to enquiries and deliver the newsletters you have asked for;
- understand how the site is used so we can improve it;
- protect the platform against fraud, abuse and security threats; and
- comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.
Legal basis for processing
We rely on your consent (for example, for marketing emails and non-essential cookies), the performance of a service you have requested, our legitimate interest in running and securing the platform, and our legal obligations as a government entity.
Sharing your information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with trusted service providers who process it on our behalf under appropriate safeguards, with other Abu Dhabi Government entities where necessary to deliver a service you have requested, and with authorities where required by law.
Data retention
We keep personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes set out above, after which it is securely deleted or anonymised.
Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you may request access to the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, object to certain processing, or withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, please use the details in the section below.
Security
We apply technical and organisational measures designed to protect your information against unauthorised access, loss or misuse. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, but we work to safeguard your data appropriately.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “last updated” date.
