Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, articles, and maps. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited those other websites.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content — including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Examples of embedded content on our site include Google Maps (for our office location) and social media sharing buttons.

Who We Share Your Data With

Your data will only be shared with our third-party partners at your personal request — for example, when you request an introduction to a banking partner, legal advisor, or auditing firm as part of our service delivery.

Your data will remain with 1Stop Connect only unless:

• Legal authorities or courts require disclosure under applicable UAE law.
• Internet or hosting providers request it under legitimate legal process.
• You have explicitly consented to sharing with a named third party.

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email, which will be sent over the public internet.

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal data to third parties for marketing or commercial purposes.

How Long We Retain Your Data

For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time — except they cannot change their username. Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Enquiry form submissions are retained for a period of 5 years for business records purposes, after which they are securely deleted.
