We may use third-party Service Providers to monitor and analyze the use of our Service, such as Google Analytics or similar. Our websites use cookies to distinguish you from other users of our website. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our website and the Services we provide. By accessing and browsing our website, you are agreeing to our use of cookies. 

Information We Collect From Other Sources 

We may also receive information from other sources and combine that with Personal Data we receive from you or collect through our Services. For example: 

If you choose to link, create, or log in to your account with a payment provider or social media service (e.g., Facebook), or if you engage with a separate app or website that uses our API (or whose API we use), we may receive information about you or your connections from that site or app. 

If your employer uses one of our enterprise solutions, we may receive information about you from your employer. 

Because Makan is constantly developing new features for our Services, we may introduce new ways to collect and use Personal Data. In this case we will inform our users of these functions by updating our Privacy Policy from time to time.

Data Integrity and Security

Your user account is password-protected so that only you and authorized Makan employees have access to your account information. Makan staff will never proactively reach out to you and ask for any personal account information, including your password. 

Makan makes every effort to ensure that your Personal Data is secure on its system. Makan has staff dedicated to maintaining our privacy policy as set forth herein and other privacy initiatives, periodically reviewing Web security and making sure that every Makan employee is aware of our security practices. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, Makan cannot guarantee the security of any Personal Data you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Makan expressly disclaims any liability that may arise should any other individuals obtain the Personal Data you submit to Makan. 

We utilize information technology security to keep the information that you provide to us via our Site secure. Notwithstanding, as effective as our reasonable security measures may be, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our database and cannot guarantee that information supplied to us will not be intercepted while being transmitted over the internet.

Law & Order

We may disclose any of your information (including Personal Information) to third parties if we determine that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) comply with the law; (b) protect any person from death or serious bodily injury; (c) prevent fraud or abuse of Makan or our users; or (d) protect our property rights.

Linked Sites and Third-Party Use of Information

Other websites that you visit, including any such sites linked from or to our Site (such as websites of Licensors), may have separate privacy policies or no policy at all. Other websites may use personal information differently than our policy permits so we strongly encourage you to review the privacy policies of any site before you provide your personal information on the internet or explore such third-party sites. You agree that we are not responsible for unauthorized third-party use of your information.

Your Choices 

Marketing and Opting Out 

Makan provides Users the opportunity to opt-out of receiving communications from us and our partners at the point where we request information about the visitor. You have the option to ask us not to process your Personal Data for marketing purposes and to remove it from our database, to not receive future communications or to no longer receive our Services by contacting us at info@makan.sa.

You have a right to obtain a copy, modify or permanently delete (in limited circumstances, such as where it is no longer necessary to the purposes for which it was collected or processed) Personal Data, which was collected by us. 

In this case, you should provide us with your request to info@makan.sa. Please note that we may request proof of identity, and we reserve the right to charge a fee where permitted by law, especially if your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive. We will endeavour to respond to your request within all applicable timeframes. 

Changes to this Privacy Policy 

We may change this privacy policy from time to time. If we make significant changes in the way we treat your Personal Data, or to the privacy policy, we will provide you notice through the Services or by some other means, such as email. Your continued use of the Services after such notice constitutes your consent to the changes. We encourage you to periodically review this privacy policy for the latest information on our privacy practice.
