government systems use up-to-date security protocols to ensure the integrity and
confidentiality of information and systems.
Our web server automatically collects your IP address when you

and to compile statistics on site usage
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

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

Some of our Web sites link to other sites created and maintained

are leaving a Dubai Government Web site and our information management policies
no longer apply.
