This policy explains how Specialized Technologies (ST) collects, uses and protects personal data when you visit our website or contact us through it. We process personal data in line with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) and its implementing regulations.
01Who we are
The website is operated by Specialized Technologies (ST), Commercial Registration 1010294032, Circon Building 14, Office 303, Street 6687, Al Bir, Olaya, Riyadh 12241, Saudi Arabia. ST is responsible for the personal data described in this policy.
For any privacy question or request, email info@stech-ltd.com.
02What we collect
We only collect what we need to answer you and to run the website safely:
- Contact form: your name, company, email address, phone number (optional), the topic you choose and your message.
- Careers form: your name, email address, phone number (optional), area of interest, LinkedIn profile link (optional), your message (optional) and the CV file you upload.
- Technical data: your IP address, browser type and the pages you request, recorded briefly by our servers to keep the website secure and to block abuse such as spam.
03How we use your data
We use personal data only for the purpose it was given:
- To reply to your inquiry and discuss our services with you.
- To review your CV for current or future roles at ST.
- To protect the website, prevent spam and investigate misuse.
- To meet our legal obligations in Saudi Arabia.
04Legal basis
We process your data because you chose to send it to us (your consent, which you can withdraw at any time), because it is needed to take steps you asked for before a possible contract or employment, or because we have a legitimate interest in keeping the website secure, as allowed by the PDPL.
07Where your data is stored and transferred
The website and its data, including messages and CVs, are hosted by Microsoft Azure in data centers in the United Arab Emirates (UAE North region). This means personal data is transferred outside the Kingdom. We make this transfer only as permitted by the PDPL and its regulation on transferring personal data outside the Kingdom, and we protect the data with contractual safeguards, encryption in transit and at rest, and strict access controls.
08How long we keep it
We keep personal data only as long as we need it:
- Contact messages: up to 2 years after our last communication with you.
- CVs and applications: up to 1 year, unless you join ST or ask us to delete them sooner.
- Security logs: up to 90 days.
After these periods we delete the data or make it anonymous.
09How we protect it
We use encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls so that only authorized staff can see messages and CVs, checks on uploaded files, and spam protection. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your data and will notify you and the authorities of a breach where the law requires it.
10Your rights
Under the PDPL you have the right to:
- Be informed about how your personal data is collected and used.
- Access your personal data and receive a copy.
- Ask us to correct, complete or update your data.
