Who this policy applies to
This policy explains how STARTIME handles personal information provided by visitors and people submitting contact enquiries, sponsorship applications and B2G applications through this website. It applies to the English and Arabic versions of sim.startime.sa.
Information we receive
When you submit a form, we receive the details you enter, such as your name, business email address, telephone number, organization, role and enquiry or application details. If a form permits attachments, we also receive the files you choose to upload.
Our website may record technical and visit information, including IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, referring website, campaign parameters and advertising identifiers. Please avoid including sensitive personal information that is unnecessary for your request.
How we use information
We use submitted information to respond to enquiries, assess sponsorship and B2G applications, coordinate relevant follow-up and maintain records of these requests. We use technical and campaign information to operate and protect the website, measure traffic and campaign results, and improve the visitor experience.
Submitting a form does not confirm approval, attendance, sponsorship or a specific meeting.
Cookies, analytics and advertising tools
The website uses cookies and similar technologies. Google Tag Manager manages measurement tools, including Google Analytics and advertising tags from Meta, LinkedIn and X. Depending on the tools enabled, these services may receive visit, interaction, campaign and conversion information.
You can manage cookies through your browser and use the privacy or advertising controls offered by those providers. Browser privacy settings or blockers may limit measurement. Embedded YouTube videos and other third-party content may also use their own cookies and process technical information when loaded.
Access to information and service providers
Access to form details is limited to authorized personnel who manage enquiries and applications. Notifications containing submission details are sent to designated STARTIME business mailboxes.
We use hosting, email, analytics and advertising service providers to support the website and its campaigns. Their processing and storage locations may differ from yours. Any required disclosure to an authority is handled under applicable requirements. We do not sell form submission details.
Protection and retention
We use technical and organizational measures to protect information, including HTTPS, restricted CMS access and protected access to form uploads. No website or transmission method can guarantee absolute security.
We retain information for the purposes described here and for applicable operational or legal requirements, then delete it or make it anonymous when it is no longer needed.
Your requests and rights
You may contact STARTIME to ask about information relating to you, request access or correction, request deletion where applicable, or withdraw consent where processing relies on consent. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request, and applicable requirements may affect how we respond.
