Generally, Arabie retains your personal data as long as your account is active. In case your account expires, or you decide to delete your account Arabie retains your personal data not longer than 90 days after the account is expired.
However, in case of conflict situations in progress Arabie may store personal data for 180 days period or more if the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims and for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject in case of an expired account or in case data subject requested to delete his personal data. Upon the expiry of this period or earlier, if a conflict situation is settled, all personal data gets deleted.
In case your last activity on Arabie, as of the last payment date, was more than 180 (one hundred eighty) days ago, your account will be considered expired and gets deleted. Along with your account or profile all personal data processed by Arabie will be erased.
As you are entitled to delete your account or profile after such request it will be permanently removed within 30 days or earlier from our active systems, servers and back-ups. By deleting your account or profile all your personal data will be removed as well within 90 days.

e) right of restriction of processing. For example, you could contest the accuracy of your personal data or in case Arabie is not interested in processing of your personal data any longer, but you want Arabie to do this for different reasons, for example, to bring some claim for somebody and, instead of the erasure of information, its processing will be just restricted.
f) right to data portability - to have your personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others;
g) right to object to processing of your personal data by Arabie when the processing is related to the performance of our task carried in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us. The other case is if we process your data for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party and you believe that such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. If you make a request with objection to processing, we will no longer process the personal data unless we are able to demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing;
h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling. Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her, or similarly significantly affects him or her, as long as the decision (1) is not is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) is not authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject's explicit consent.
i) Right to withdraw consent at any time by contacting us. After we at Arabie receive such withdrawal request from you, we will process it in a timely manner and we will no longer process your personal data, unless otherwise is set by law.
If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, please contact us, as instructed at the end of this Privacy Policy. We shall promptly ensure that the request is complied with immediately. These requests are free of charge.

We process your personal data both within the United States and outside the United States. Although countries where we process data may have different laws, we take measures to ensure high privacy compliance (namely, as provided in Section 5 of this Privacy Policy).
Arabie will provide information on action taken on your request related to your rights specified above within one month of receipt of the request for the longest. That period may be extended by two further months if Arabie is overwhelmed by the number of requests or the request at issue is complicated and requires a lot of action. Arabie will inform you of any such extension within one month of receipt of the request, together with the reasons of such delay.
Arabie takes technical and organizational measures to ensure the information is processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of information, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage.

The privacy of children is one of our concerns. Arabie Services are not intended for use by children under the age of 18 without the express permission of their parent or legal guardian.

Arabie is acting in compliance with COPPA. It requires us to inform parents and legal guardians about how we collect, use, and disclose personal information from children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children and minors. We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s Internet usage and to help enforce our Privacy Policy by instructing their children to never provide information on our Website without their permission.
If any personal data of yours would be under the breach, we would inform you and the respective data protection agencies as to the accidents without undue delay, if there are high risks of violation of your rights as data subject. We would also do our best to minimize any such risks.
Arabie does not share personal data with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. Also, our Services do not support “Do Not Track” requests.
Arabie considers your use of its Service to be private. However, we may disclose your personal data stored in our databases, in order to:
(1) comply with the law or legal process served on us;
(2) enforce and investigate potential violations of this Privacy Policy; including use of this Service to participate in, or facilitate activities that violate the law;
