- Analytics (usage, performance)
- Advertising (interest-based ads, retargeting)
You can manage cookies through your browser and relevant platform settings. See our Cookie Policy for details.

We only share personal data when necessary and with appropriate safeguards:
- Certified partner lawyers in Saudi Arabia for consultation, filing with HRSD/Najiz, and representation (you sign a separate engagement letter with the lawyer).
- Technology/service providers (hosting, storage, security, analytics, communications, email/WhatsApp, identity verification, ticketing, logging/monitoring).

We do not sell your personal data. We do not allow third parties to market their products to you using your data without your explicit consent.
All processors act under contract and only access data needed to deliver their services. We apply due diligence and minimum-necessary disclosure.
10) International transfers
Some recipients may be located outside your country (e.g., cloud infrastructure, support vendors, analytics). We implement lawful transfer mechanisms, such as:
- PDPL mechanisms (e.g., transfers aligned with PDPL implementing regulations and SDAIA guidance, with risk assessments and contractual safeguards).
- GDPR mechanisms where applicable (e.g., Adequacy Decisions, EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), additional technical/organizational measures like encryption/pseudonymization).
Hosting region: [AWS region / hosting provider – placeholder]. If hosting occurs outside your jurisdiction, we apply the above safeguards.

We apply appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, including encryption in transit, access controls/least privilege, credential management, network segmentation, monitoring/logging, regular backups, vulnerability management, and staff confidentiality undertakings.
No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; we continually improve controls and minimize data we keep.
Security questions: info@sndk.ai.
12) Data retention
We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described or as required by law. Typical periods (subject to change):
- Active claims/cases: for the life of the matter and a reasonable period after closure to manage queries, appeals, audits, and legal obligations (e.g., 3–6 years depending on jurisdiction/limitation periods).
- Prospects/intake without case: up to 24 months from last interaction unless you withdraw consent or object earlier.
- Marketing consents: until you unsubscribe/withdraw, then kept on a suppression list.
- Technical logs: typically 90–365 days unless needed longer for security/legal reasons.
- Recruitment: 12 months (or as required/permitted), unless you consent to a longer talent-pool retention.
When retention ends, we delete or irreversibly anonymize data.

17) Fraud prevention, identity/KYC (if applicable)
To protect users and our services, we may perform proportionate identity checks (e.g., verifying names/IDs/IBAN, screening against sanctions/PEP/watchlists if required by law or risk-based policy). We only process biometric data (e.g., face match) with your explicit consent and where lawful.
18) Marketing (WhatsApp)
We send marketing only with your opt-in consent. You can unsubscribe at any time by replying STOP or contacting info@sndk.ai. We may measure basic delivery/engagement to understand relevance. Your choice will not affect your access to our core Services.

If you apply to work with us, we process your application data for selection and onboarding. Please avoid including sensitive data not required for evaluation. With your consent, interviews may be recorded or summarized using AI notetakers. You can opt out without affecting your candidacy.
20) Responsibility & accountability
Our leadership is responsible for privacy compliance. We maintain records of processing activities and conduct DPIAs where required (e.g., AI workflows, cross-border transfers, marketing). We also vet processors and partners and train staff.
