The website qarizmi.com is operated by Qarizmi.

Legal entity / website publisher / data controller: Qarizmi
Business address: Index Towers, DIFC, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

For privacy-related requests, please contact Qarizmi through the contact form available on qarizmi.com and mention that your request relates to privacy or personal data.

When Qarizmi determines why and how personal data is processed through the website, forms, communications, recruitment process, or business development activities, Qarizmi acts as data controller. When Qarizmi processes personal data on behalf of a client as part of a service engagement, Qarizmi may act as processor or subcontractor, and the relevant client agreement or data processing agreement will govern that processing.

We collect only the personal data that is relevant to the purpose for which it is provided or generated.

2.1 Data you provide directly

You may provide personal data when you submit a contact form; book an introductory call; request a proposal or information about our services; subscribe to communications, if offered; apply for a role, internship, or collaboration opportunity; exchange emails, calls, messages, or documents with us; or enter into or participate in a client engagement.

This may include: name, surname, and professional title; work email address and phone number; company, organization, role, market, geography, and preferred language; the content of your message, business challenge, project timeline, and request; calendar booking details; CV, LinkedIn profile, portfolio, professional experience, qualifications, and any other recruitment information you choose to provide; contractual, invoicing, or administrative information relating to a client, partner, supplier, or prospect relationship; and personal data contained in documents, datasets, systems, or business materials made available during a service engagement, where necessary for the agreed services.

Please avoid sending sensitive personal data unless it is strictly necessary for your request or for a service engagement agreed with Qarizmi.

2.2 Data collected automatically

When you visit the website, we may collect technical and usage data, including: IP address; browser type and version; device type and operating system; pages visited and time spent on the website; referring page or campaign source; approximate location derived from technical data; cookie identifiers and consent choices; and logs needed for security, debugging, and website performance.

2.3 Data from third parties

We may receive personal data from third parties where lawful and relevant, including calendar booking tools; CRM, form, email, analytics, or productivity tools; recruitment platforms or professional networks; clients, partners, subcontractors, or experts involved in a project; and public sources such as company websites, LinkedIn, and professional directories.

We use personal data for the purposes described below.

3.1 Website operation and security. We use personal data to operate, maintain, secure, debug, and improve the website, prevent abuse, and understand how visitors use the website.

3.2 Responding to requests. We use personal data to respond to messages, requests for information, proposal requests, commercial discussions, introductory calls, and other communications.

3.3 Business development and client relationship management. We use personal data to manage prospects, proposals, opportunities, contracts, meetings, follow-ups, client relationships, invoicing, and administrative matters.

3.4 Delivery of AI, data, and strategy services. We use personal data to perform consulting, data, analytics, AI, product, engineering, transformation, governance, adoption, and related services requested by clients. This may include analyzing business processes, data assets, documents, operational information, user needs, and technical environments. When we process client-provided personal data as part of a service engagement, we do so in accordance with the applicable proposal, statement of work, data processing agreement, confidentiality agreement, and the client's documented instructions where Qarizmi acts as processor.

3.5 Recruitment. We use personal data to review applications, communicate with candidates, assess suitability, organize interviews, check references where appropriate, and manage hiring processes.

3.6 Marketing and communications. We may use personal data to send relevant Qarizmi news, insights, event invitations, or service information, where permitted by law or with consent where required. You may opt out of marketing communications at any time.

3.7 Legal, compliance, and risk management. We use personal data to comply with legal, regulatory, accounting, tax, contractual, audit, insurance, security, and dispute-resolution obligations, and to protect the rights, property, and safety of Qarizmi, its clients, users, and partners.

Depending on the context and applicable law, we may process personal data on one or more of the following legal bases: your consent; the performance of a contract or steps taken before entering into a contract; Qarizmi's legitimate interests, such as responding to business requests, operating and securing the website, improving services, managing client relationships, and developing our business; compliance with a legal or regulatory obligation; the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims; or a client's documented instructions, where Qarizmi acts as processor.

The website may use cookies and similar technologies to make the site work, remember preferences, measure usage, improve performance, and protect the website.

We may use strictly necessary cookies required for the website to function; analytics cookies to understand aggregate website usage; preference cookies to remember language or consent choices; and security or spam-prevention technologies to protect forms and infrastructure.

Non-essential cookies will be used only where permitted by applicable law and, where required, after obtaining your consent. You can manage cookies through the cookie banner, if available, and through your browser settings.

Because Qarizmi works on AI and data projects, personal data may sometimes be included in business documents, datasets, prompts, outputs, logs, analyses, or technical environments provided or approved by a client.

When using AI-enabled tools, Qarizmi applies appropriate confidentiality, security, and data-protection safeguards. Unless expressly agreed with the client, Qarizmi will not intentionally submit confidential client personal data to public AI systems in a way that allows the provider to use that data to train public models.

Clients remain responsible for ensuring that personal data, datasets, and materials they provide to Qarizmi may lawfully be shared and used for the agreed services. Qarizmi will support appropriate data minimization, pseudonymization, access control, and human validation measures where relevant.

We do not sell personal data.

We may share personal data with: authorized Qarizmi team members and collaborators; hosting, infrastructure, security, and website providers; email, form, CRM, analytics, calendar, video-conference, and productivity tools; recruitment, applicant-tracking, or professional-network tools, if used; subcontractors, partners, experts, or technical providers involved in delivering services; legal, accounting, tax, audit, insurance, and professional advisers; public authorities, courts, regulators, or law-enforcement bodies where required by law or necessary to protect our rights; and successors or potential successors in connection with a merger, restructuring, acquisition, or sale of business assets, subject to appropriate safeguards.

Where service providers process personal data on our behalf, we require them to process it only for authorized purposes and to protect it appropriately.

Qarizmi may work with clients, providers, partners, and subcontractors located in different countries, including the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, France, and other jurisdictions.

Where personal data is transferred internationally, Qarizmi will take steps required by applicable law, which may include contractual safeguards, data-transfer agreements, standard contractual clauses, adequacy mechanisms, client authorization, data minimization, or other appropriate protections.

We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law, contract, accounting rules, audit obligations, dispute management, or legitimate business needs.

Indicative retention periods include contact and business development requests (for the duration of the relationship and a reasonable follow-up period afterward); client engagement data (for the duration of the engagement and the retention period agreed in the relevant contract, or as required for legal, accounting, audit, and risk-management purposes); candidate data (for the duration of the recruitment process and a reasonable period afterward, unless a longer period is agreed or required by law); technical logs and security data (for a limited period necessary for website operation, security, and troubleshooting); and marketing data (until you unsubscribe or object, subject to reasonable suppression lists to ensure your opt-out is respected)

Qarizmi uses reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures may include access controls, confidentiality obligations, secure tools, data minimization, internal policies, and appropriate provider due diligence.

No website, system, or transmission method is completely secure. You are responsible for ensuring that any information you send to Qarizmi is shared through appropriate channels and does not include unnecessary sensitive information.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights in relation to your personal data, including the right to: request access to your personal data; request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data; request deletion of your personal data; object to or restrict certain processing; withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; request portability of your personal data where applicable; object to direct marketing; and lodge a complaint with a competent data-protection authority where applicable.

To exercise your rights, contact Qarizmi through the contact form available on qarizmi.com and identify your request as a privacy or personal-data request. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
