Privacy Policy

Effective 1 July 2026

This policy explains how Scholarix Global Consultant FZE (trading as SGC Tech AI) handles personal data collected through sgctech.ai and related correspondence. We process data in line with UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data (PDPL) and its executive regulations.

What data we collect

We collect the minimum needed to operate the site and respond to enquiries. We do not buy or trade data.

Contact enquiries you send us
When you email info@sgctech.ai (or use a CTA that opens your mail client), we receive your name, email address, organisation, and the contents of your message. We use these only to reply.
Server logs
Our hosting provider records standard request metadata: IP address, user-agent, referrer, timestamp, and the resource requested. Logs are kept for 30 days for security and capacity planning, then deleted.
Aggregated analytics
We do not use third-party analytics, advertising pixels, or session-replay tools. We count page views from our own server logs only.

How we use it

Three purposes, narrowly defined.

01
To respond to your enquiry and provide the services you requested.
02
To operate, secure, and improve sgctech.ai (e.g. diagnosing outages, blocking abuse).
03
To comply with UAE law and respond to lawful requests from public authorities.

Lawful basis

We rely on one or more of the following PDPL grounds for each processing activity: your consent, performance of a contract you have asked us to perform, our legitimate interests in operating a secure service, or compliance with a legal obligation.

Where we rely on legitimate interests, we balance them against your rights and apply the minimum-data principle. You can ask us about the specific basis for any processing at any time.

Sharing and processors

We do not sell or rent personal data. We share it only with vetted processors who help us operate the site, and only as much as they need to do their job.

Hosting & CDN — Vercel and a CDN provider host and serve sgctech.ai. They process request logs on our behalf under written processor terms.
Email delivery — Outbound enquiry emails route through a transactional email provider for delivery. They receive the email content you send.
Legal — If compelled by a lawful UAE order, we will disclose the minimum data required to comply.

Retention

We keep data only as long as we have a reason to keep it.

Enquiry correspondence — up to 24 months from last contact, then archived or deleted.
Server logs — 30 days, then deleted automatically.
Engagement records — for the duration of the engagement plus the UAE statutory record-keeping window (typically 7 years for financial records).

Your rights under PDPL

You can exercise any of these at any time by emailing privacy@sgctech.ai.

Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
Request deletion of your data, subject to our record-keeping obligations.
Withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent.
Lodge a complaint with the UAE Data Office.

International transfers

Some of our processors store data outside the UAE. Where we do, we rely on the PDPL transfer mechanisms and put contractual safeguards in place.

Hosting is delivered from regions we select for latency and redundancy. A current list of regions and safeguards is available on request.

Cookies and similar technologies

sgctech.ai does not set marketing, advertising, or analytics cookies. We use a single first-party session marker (a 32-byte opaque value) to remember that you have already seen the loading splash, so we don't re-flash it on every navigation.

You can clear it via your browser's site-data settings at any time. Clearing it just means you'll see the splash once on your next visit.

Updates to this policy

When we change this policy in a material way, we will post a notice on sgctech.ai with the new effective date. The previous version is available on request.
