This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website at dotstudio.vc (the "Site"), or when you otherwise engage with us.

Please read this policy carefully. If you disagree with its terms, please discontinue use of the Site. This policy applies to all information collected through our Site, and any related services, sales, marketing, or events.

This data is collected using cookies, pixel tags, and similar tracking technologies. Please see our Cookie Policy for full details.

Information from Third Parties

We may receive information about you from third-party sources such as analytics providers, social media platforms, and professional networking sites. We may combine this data with information we already hold about you.

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

For individuals in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or other jurisdictions where a legal basis for processing is required, we rely on the following grounds:

You may withdraw consent at any time where we rely on consent as a legal basis. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:

Service Providers

We engage trusted third-party vendors to help operate our Site and business, including analytics providers, email platforms, hosting services, and CRM tools. These providers have access to your information only to perform services on our behalf and are contractually bound to protect it.

Portfolio Companies

If you express interest in a specific company within our portfolio, we may share relevant information with that company to facilitate the connection. We will inform you before doing so.

Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you if such a transfer occurs.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental authority, or if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

For correspondence and contact form submissions, we typically retain data for up to three years from the date of last contact. Analytics data is retained in aggregate or anonymised form for longer periods. You may request deletion of your data at any time, see Your Rights below.

When data is no longer required, we delete or anonymise it securely. Where this is not immediately possible (for example, because data is stored in backup archives), we store it securely and isolate it from further processing until deletion is possible.

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in the Contact Us section. We will respond within 30 days.

dot studio operates primarily in the United Arab Emirates. Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your country of residence, including countries that may have different data protection laws than those in your jurisdiction.

When we transfer personal data outside the EEA or UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, or reliance on adequacy decisions where applicable.

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encrypted data transmission (HTTPS), access controls, and regular security reviews.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that affects your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and the relevant authorities as required by law.

Our Site is not directed at individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately and we will take steps to delete such information.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you by email or a prominent notice on the Site.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information. Your continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.

If you are located in the EEA or UK and are unsatisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
