Our Commitment
Dubai Government is committed to respecting your privacy and protecting your
personal information. We recognize our obligation to keep sensitive information
secure and have created this privacy and security statement to share and explain
the current information management practices on our websites.
The handling of all personal information by Dubai Government departments and
entities is governed by the UAE and Dubai privacy and security acts. We are
committed to protecting your privacy whether you are browsing for information or
conducting business with the government electronically.
Collection and Use of Online Information
When you visit our websites, we will not collect your personal information
unless you choose to use and receive online products and services that require
it. For transactions with government organizations involving credit cards,
government systems use up-to-date security protocols to ensure the integrity and
confidentiality of information and systems.
Collection of IP Addresses
Our web server automatically collects your IP address when you visit our site
(your IP address is your computer's unique address that lets other computers
attached to the Internet know where to send data, but does not identify you
individually). We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server
and to compile statistics on site usage.
Use of Cookies
Some Dubai Government Web sites use cookies. Cookies are generally used to make
it more convenient for users to move around our Web sites. If you choose, they
may be used to 'remember' your password and make it easier and faster to log-in
to certain sites. These types of cookies need to be stored on your computer's
hard drive. Cookies used by the government are encrypted to make the information
in cookies unreadable to anyone except the government department with which you
are dealing.
Protection of Personal Information
Your personal information is available only to the government employees who have
a need to know it. It will not be available for public inspection without your
consent. Also, no site user information will be shared, sold, or transferred to
any third party without your prior consent. Access is given only to those
qualified professionals who provide Dubai Government services consistent with
your interactions with our site.
Important Notice
Some of our Web sites link to other sites created and maintained by other public
and/or private sector organizations. We provide these links solely for your
information and convenience. When you link to an outside Web site, you are
leaving a Dubai Government Web site and our information management policies no
longer apply.
