How We Use Your Data
We process personal data only for legitimate purposes, including: (i) responding to inquiries and communicating with you about our services; (ii) preparing quotations, NDAs, master services agreements, and other commercial documents; (iii) delivering, supporting, and maintaining the bespoke software and infrastructure we engineer for you; (iv) improving our website, marketing, and product offerings through aggregated analytics; (v) complying with applicable legal, tax, accounting, and regulatory obligations; (vi) protecting our legal rights, enforcing our Terms of Service, and preventing fraud or abuse.

Legal Basis for Processing
Where the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies, we rely on the following legal bases: (a) performance of a contract or steps taken at your request prior to entering into a contract; (b) our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving our business, balanced against your rights and freedoms; (c) compliance with a legal obligation; (d) your explicit consent, which you may withdraw at any time without affecting prior lawful processing. Where the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) applies, you have the right to know, delete, correct, and limit the use of sensitive personal information.
International Data Transfers
Zolak Group is headquartered in the United Arab Emirates. Personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence, including the UAE, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and the United States. When transferring data internationally, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, or transfers to jurisdictions deemed adequate by applicable regulators.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Contact form submissions are retained for up to 24 months unless you request earlier deletion. Project-related data under NDA is retained for the duration of the engagement plus a reasonable archive period (typically 7 years) to comply with contractual and statutory obligations.

Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction, or damage. These measures include encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and at rest, access controls based on the principle of least privilege, regular backups, security audits, and incident response procedures. No system is perfectly secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.
