3. Information Security

We take appropriate measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. We use industry-standard security protocols to encrypt sensitive information such as payment details and passwords. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

4. Cookies Policy

Our website uses cookies to enhance your user experience and to help us improve our website. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit our website. We use cookies to remember your preferences, to keep you logged in, to analyze how our website is used, and to personalize your shopping experience.

We use both session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them. We may also use third-party cookies, which are cookies set by a third-party website or service, such as Google Analytics, to track how our website is used and to provide us with analytics and other information.

You can control the use of cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, and to control which cookies are allowed on your device. However, please note that if you block or delete cookies, some features of our website may not work as intended, and you may not be able to access certain parts of our website.

5. Links to Other Websites

Our website may contain links to other websites that are not operated by Gulfline Furniture. We provide these links for your convenience and to enhance your shopping experience. However, we have no control over the content, policies, or practices of these websites and we cannot be responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these websites.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies and terms of use of any third-party websites or services that you visit. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these websites or the information they collect from you.

Please note that when you leave our website and visit a third-party website, you will be subject to the terms and privacy policies of that website.

6. Secure Area

We take security very seriously, and we are committed to ensuring that your personal information is protected. We use industry-standard security protocols and technologies to create a secure area on our website where you can enter and transmit sensitive information such as credit card details. This secure area is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS) to ensure that your information is protected during transmission.

TLS is a cryptographic protocol that provides secure communication over the internet. When you enter the secure area of our website, your browser establishes a secure connection with our servers using TLS. This ensures that any information you transmit to us, including credit card details, is encrypted and cannot be intercepted by unauthorized parties.

We also use HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) to provide a secure connection between your browser and our website. HTTPS encrypts all data transmitted between your browser and our website, including your personal information and credit card details. This further ensures the security of your information during transmission.

7. Credit Card Information

We take the security of your credit card information seriously. We collect credit card information only for the purpose of processing your orders and do not store it on our servers. All credit card transactions are processed by reputable third-party payment processors that comply with industry standards for security and confidentiality.

We use the latest security measures to protect your credit card information during transmission, including encryption with Transport Layer Security (TLS). Our payment processors are certified as Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliant, and we take reasonable measures to protect your information.

If you have any concerns about the security of your credit card information, please contact us at info@gulflinefurniture.ae. We recommend that you also take steps to protect your own privacy and security when using our website.

8. Behavioral Advertising

We may disclose personal information to third parties that provide advertising and marketing services on our behalf and on behalf of our service providers, to the extent appropriate. The Platforms also enable third-party tracking mechanisms to collect your non-personal information for use in online behavioral advertising. For example, third parties may use the fact that you visited the Platforms to target online ads for our services to you on websites or services not owned or controlled by us. In addition, our third-party advertising networks might use information about your use of the Platforms to help target advertisements based on your online behavior in general.

Please see our “Cookies Policy” for more information on how we use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect information about your browsing activities and to provide you with targeted advertising. For more information about how targeted advertising works, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s (“NAI”) educational page at https://www.networkadvertising.org/understanding-online-advertising/how-does-it-work.
