Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how WHIZTEC ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses and protects personal information when you visit https://www.whiztec.com or interact with our public forms.

1. Who we are

WHIZTEC is a software company headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. For privacy-related questions, contact support@whiztec.com.

2. What information we collect

We collect the minimum information necessary to respond to your inquiries and schedule meetings. We do not run third-party analytics, ad pixels or social trackers on this site.

A. Information you give us through our forms

When you submit the Get in Touch form or book a meeting, we collect:

• Name, work email and (optionally) phone or WhatsApp number
• Company name, job title, country, company size, decision timeline
• The purpose of your enquiry (demo, meeting, partnership, support, careers, investor relations, CSR, general)
• Any free-text message, topic or agenda you provide
• The language version of the site you used (English, Arabic, Spanish, French or Chinese)
• For meeting bookings: the date and time slot you selected and your browser-reported timezone

B. Information collected automatically

• IP address — captured from the connection. Used for security (rate-limiting, abuse prevention) and to approximate your country, region and city via ipwho.is — a third-party IP geolocation service. We pass only your IP to ipwho.is; we do not pass your name, email or any other personal data.
• User agent — the browser/OS string sent by your browser, recorded for diagnostics and security.
• Timezone — derived from your browser's Intl API for meeting booking convenience.

C. Cookies

See the Cookie Policy below.

3. How we use the information

• To respond to your inquiry or schedule the meeting you requested
• To improve our products and prioritise features based on aggregated demand signals
• To prevent abuse of our forms (rate-limiting, bot detection, blocking disposable email addresses)
• To remember your language and theme preferences across pages

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We do not use your data for advertising.

4. Legal bases (GDPR)

For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or other jurisdictions with similar regimes, we rely on the following lawful bases:

• Your consent — when you voluntarily submit a form
• Legitimate interests — for security, abuse prevention and operating the website
• Performance of pre-contractual measures — when you request a demo, quote or commercial conversation

5. Retention

Form submissions and meeting bookings are retained for as long as is reasonably necessary for the conversation, sales relationship or applicable record-keeping requirements. Security logs (rate-limit hits) are purged on a rolling 3-hour window.

6. Sharing with third parties

• ipwho.is — IP geolocation (your IP only; no personal data)
• Google Fonts — to serve typefaces used on this site; your browser connects directly to fonts.googleapis.com
• Our hosting provider — pair Networks, Inc. (United States) hosts this website

We do not embed Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag or similar trackers.

7. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict processing of your personal data, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. To exercise any of these rights, email support@whiztec.com from the email address you used on the form.

8. Security

We protect form submissions using CSRF tokens, server-side validation, HTTPS, prepared SQL statements, rate-limiting and other industry-standard measures. No transmission over the internet is ever 100% secure, but we apply reasonable safeguards.

9. International transfers

Our servers are operated in the United States. By submitting a form you understand that your data may be processed outside your country of residence.

10. Children

This website is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of the document reflects the most recent change.

4. Product information is non-binding

Product descriptions, screenshots, module counts, statistics and forward-looking statements on the Site are provided for general information. They do not constitute a contractual offer, technical specification or service-level commitment. Commercial obligations between WHIZTEC and a customer are established only through a signed agreement.

5. Third-party links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites. We do not control and are not responsible for the content or practices of those sites.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, WHIZTEC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with your use of the Site, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

8. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates. Any dispute shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Dubai, UAE.

We may amend these Terms at any time. Material changes will be reflected by an updated "Last updated" date at the top of the document. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance.

Cookie Policy

This Site uses a small number of first-party cookies to keep the website functional and to remember your preferences. We do not use third-party advertising, analytics or social-media cookies.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to the site operator.

2. Cookies we use

3. Third-party cookies

We do not set third-party cookies on this site. Google Fonts is loaded from fonts.googleapis.com; Google may receive your IP address as a normal part of that request but no cookies are set by us on its behalf.

4. Managing cookies

You can refuse or delete cookies via your browser settings. Disabling PHPSESSID will break form submissions and the admin panel because CSRF protection will not work. Disabling wz_lang means your language preference will not persist across pages.

5. Changes

This Cookie Policy may change as we add or remove cookies. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent version.
