Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how IOTA Technologies Company collects, uses, shares, and protects personal data, in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Law of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (PDPL, issued by Royal Decree M/19 of 1443H, as amended) and its Implementing Regulations, under the supervision of the Saudi Data & AI Authority (SDAIA), and consistent with National Data Management Office (NDMO) data governance standards.
1. Who controls your data
IOTA Technologies Company, 2885, Office #9, Jarir Street, AlMalaz, Riyadh 12836, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, is the controller of personal data collected through this website. For any privacy matter, contact engagements@iotatechnologies.ai or +966 50 534 0573.
2. What we collect
Contact and identity data you choose to share with us — your name, work email, phone number, company, and role — when you submit an enquiry, book a discovery call, subscribe to updates, or email us, together with the content of our correspondence.
If you apply for a role, we also collect what you provide in the application: your name, email, LinkedIn profile, the role you applied for, and anything you write in your message or cover letter.
We also collect limited technical data — browser type, device, and pages visited — needed to keep the site secure and performing well.
3. Consent and lawful basis under the PDPL
We collect personal data on the basis of your explicit consent — given when you submit a form, book a call, or write to us — or on another basis the PDPL permits, such as performing or preparing a contract with you, meeting a legal obligation, or a legitimate (actual) interest recognised by the law that does not prejudice your rights. You may withdraw your consent at any time by writing to engagements@iotatechnologies.ai; withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred lawfully before it.
4. How we use personal data
To respond to your enquiries, schedule and hold discovery calls, prepare proposals, deliver engagements, assess applications for roles we have advertised, keep this website secure, and meet legal obligations. We do not sell personal data, and we make no automated decisions about you that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
5. Sharing and processors
We share personal data only with service providers that help us operate — website hosting and form handling (Webflow), call scheduling (Microsoft Bookings), cloud storage and business systems (Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365), website analytics where you have consented to it (Microsoft Clarity), and bot and spam protection on our forms (Cloudflare) — each acting under safeguards and only on our instructions. We may disclose data where the law requires it.
6. Cross-border transfers
IOTA operates from Saudi Arabia with hubs in India, the UAE, and the UK, and some of our providers process data outside the Kingdom. Where personal data is transferred outside Saudi Arabia, we do so only as the PDPL and SDAIA’s transfer regulations allow — relying on adequacy, appropriate safeguards, or your explicit consent, and preserving a level of protection no lower than the PDPL provides.
7. Retention
We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes above or as the law requires.
- Enquiries — typically deleted within twenty-four months of our last contact, unless an engagement follows, in which case contract-related records are retained for the legally required period.
- Job applications — for a role you were not appointed to, deleted within twelve months of the decision unless you ask us to keep your details on file.
- Records of your cookie choices — kept for thirty-six months and then deleted automatically, so that your consent can be evidenced for as long as it stays relevant.
8. Security
We apply encryption in transit, access controls, and least-privilege practices. Data minimisation is part of how we build: our own products are designed for on-premises and air-gapped deployment precisely so that sensitive data stays where it belongs.
9. Your rights under the PDPL
You have the right to be informed about how your data is processed; to access your personal data and obtain a copy of it; to request correction or completion; to request destruction of data we no longer have a lawful basis to keep; and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any right, email engagements@iotatechnologies.ai — we respond within the timelines the Implementing Regulations set. You may also lodge a complaint with the competent authority (SDAIA).
10. Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies may be set when you interact with this site — by our hosting provider to protect a form submission against cross-site request forgery, by Cloudflare’s bot protection where it needs to verify that a submission is genuine, and one named iota-consent that remembers the cookie choice you made so you are not asked again on every visit. These are required for the site to work and perform no tracking function.
We also use Microsoft Clarity to understand how the site is used (_clck, _clsk). Clarity records how pages are used and can replay a session recording of a visit, which may capture mouse movement, scrolling and clicks. We use it to improve the site, not to identify you.
Analytics cookies are not set unless you accept them. When you first visit, a banner asks for your choice, and nothing analytical runs until you answer. You can change or withdraw that choice at any time using the “Cookie choices” link, and we record each choice — the decision, time, page and timezone — so that consent can be evidenced. We set no advertising or cross-site tracking cookies on this website.
11. Children
This website is directed at businesses and their professionals. It is not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect children’s data.
12. Visitors from other jurisdictions
If you contact us from the UAE, the UK, the EU, India, or elsewhere, we honour the rights your local data protection law grants you — including under the UK GDPR and India’s DPDP Act — to the extent they apply to our processing.
13. Changes and contact
We may update this policy as our services or the law evolve; the date at the top reflects the latest revision. Questions and requests: engagements@iotatechnologies.ai — IOTA Technologies Company, 2885, Office #9, Jarir Street, AlMalaz, Riyadh 12836, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
