Effective Date: 17 January 2026

Al Fisht is committed to respecting and protecting the privacy of individuals and to complying with applicable data protection and privacy laws across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. This Privacy Policy explains how Al Fisht collects, uses, stores, and discloses personal information obtained through this website and through other forms of communication, such as email, telephone, or written correspondence.

This policy applies to all Al Fisht entities that control or process personal data collected in connection with our business activities.

As a general matter, we may collect, use, and disclose personal information for legal, regulatory, investigative, and compliance purposes. Where required, personal data will also be collected, used, or disclosed based on your consent.

What Information We Collect

We only collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us. This may include, but is not limited to, your name, email address, telephone number, postal address, and any other information you choose to submit through forms or direct communication.

If you contact us by email, telephone, or other means and provide personal information, that information will be collected and used in connection with the matter you have contacted us about, in line with reasonable expectations.

Where you or your organisation have business dealings with Al Fisht, or where we act as a service provider or partner, we may collect and process personal information relevant to those dealings. This may include financial or payment-related information where applicable.

We may also collect personal information from publicly available sources or from commercial or governmental databases where permitted by law.

Photography, Video, and Audio Recording

From time to time, Al Fisht may take photographs or make audio-visual recordings at offices, project sites, events, or other locations that we own, operate, or visit. This may include images of individuals, voices, or vehicle registration details captured through security systems such as CCTV.

Where recording or photography is organised by or on behalf of Al Fisht, reasonable steps will typically be taken to inform individuals through signage or other communication. In more informal circumstances, such as recordings made by employees using mobile devices, advance notice may not always be provided.

Where legally required, you may withdraw your consent to the use of such personal data in specific circumstances by contacting Al Fisht.

Why We Collect Personal Information

Al Fisht may collect, use, and disclose personal information for purposes including conducting and managing business operations, legal and regulatory compliance, security and insurance purposes, financial processes, audits, internal controls, responding to enquiries, and improving our services and website functionality.

If you submit personal information in connection with a job application or recruitment process, that information will be used solely for assessing your application and managing the recruitment process.

We may also use personal information for purposes related or ancillary to those described in this Privacy Policy.

Al Fisht does not sell personal data and does not disclose personal information to third parties for purposes unrelated to the reason it was collected.

Marketing and Communications

In certain circumstances, Al Fisht may carry out marketing, communications, or awareness activities, including community engagement initiatives. You may receive communications from us through permitted channels; however, you are always free to request that we stop contacting you for marketing purposes.

Sharing Personal Information

We do not generally share personal information outside of Al Fisht entities. Exceptions may apply where disclosure is required or permitted by law, necessary for legal compliance, fraud prevention, or security purposes, required to engage professional advisers or partners, or relevant to joint ventures or cooperation agreements.

Photographs or audio-visual recordings may also be used for internal communications, training, or published on Al Fisht platforms or third-party platforms where appropriate and lawful.

Data Security and Retention

Al Fisht takes reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including legal and compliance obligations, or until consent is withdrawn where processing is based on consent.

Where you request deletion of your personal data, we will comply to the extent practicable, subject to legal, regulatory, and internal record-keeping requirements.

Your Rights

Subject to applicable laws, you may have the right to request access to personal information we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate or outdated information, and request deletion or restriction of processing in certain circumstances.

We take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information we hold is accurate, up to date, and relevant, and we will address valid requests in accordance with applicable law.

Automated Protection Tools

Our website may use automated tools designed to protect against misuse, spam, or automated access. These tools analyse user behaviour to distinguish between genuine users and automated systems. Information processed for this purpose is handled in accordance with applicable privacy and data protection principles.

Updates to This Privacy Policy

Al Fisht may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements, business practices, or technology. Any updates will take effect immediately upon publication on this page.
