Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how IqamaDesk (“we”, “us”, “our”) handles information when you visit iqamadesk.com. We keep data collection to a minimum, and we’re clear about cookies and third-party advertising. By using this site, you agree to the practices described here.
1. Information we collect
IqamaDesk is primarily an informational site, and you can read our guides without giving us any personal details. We may receive limited information in two ways:
- Information you give us: if you use our contact form or email us, you provide your name, email address and message so we can reply. We don’t require you to create an account.
- Information collected automatically: like most websites, our servers and third-party tools may automatically receive standard technical data such as your approximate location, device and browser type, pages visited, and referring site. This is used in aggregate to keep the site working and improve it.
2. How we use information
We use information to:
- Respond to your questions, corrections and feedback;
- Operate, maintain and improve the website and its content;
- Understand, in aggregate, how the site is used;
- Display advertising that helps keep the site free (see below).
We do not sell your personal information.
3. Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites function and understand usage. IqamaDesk and our third-party partners may use cookies and similar technologies for purposes such as remembering preferences, measuring traffic, and serving relevant ads.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect how parts of the site work.
4. Advertising and Google AdSense
This site may display advertising, including through Google AdSense, to help cover the cost of producing and hosting our guides. Here’s what that means for you:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
- You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info/choices.
- Third-party ad networks may use non-personally-identifiable information about your visits to provide measurement and relevant ads.
For more on how Google uses data from sites that use its services, see Google’s policies.
5. Analytics
We may use analytics tools to understand site usage in aggregate — for example which guides are most read — so we can improve them. These tools may set their own cookies and process technical data as described in their respective privacy policies.
6. Your choices
- Cookies: manage or block them via your browser.
- Personalised ads: opt out via the links in section 4.
- Contact data: if you’ve emailed us and want your message deleted, just ask.
7. Third-party links
Our guides link to official and third-party websites (such as Absher and Google resources) for your convenience. We don’t control those sites and aren’t responsible for their content or privacy practices. Please review their policies separately.
8. Children’s privacy
This site is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll revise the “last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
