Privacy Policy | Gravitas Value Engineering & PMC

1. Who we are

Gravitas Value Engineering and PMC FZ-LLC (“Gravitas”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is an independent value-engineering, cost and project-management consultancy based in the United Arab Emirates. We are committed to protecting the privacy of everyone who visits gravitaspmc.com or contacts us.

This policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. It is intended to be read alongside applicable UAE law, including Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data and the regulations of the free zone in which we are established.

2. The information we collect

Information you give us. When you complete our enquiry form or email us, we collect the details you provide — typically your name, organisation, work email address, phone number and country code, enquiry type, and the information you share about your project.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our server may record basic technical information — such as browser type, device, approximate location and pages viewed — to keep the site secure and working. Our site loads fonts from Google Fonts, which may receive your IP address as part of delivering those files.

We do not intentionally collect special or sensitive categories of personal data, and we ask that you do not send such information to us.

3. How we use your information

To respond to, assess and manage your enquiry.
To provide our services and, where we are engaged, to deliver and administer them.
To communicate with you about your project or our services where you have asked us to.
To operate, maintain, secure and improve our website.
To comply with our legal, regulatory and professional obligations.

4. Legal basis for processing

We process your personal data on one or more of the following bases: your consent (which you provide when you submit the enquiry form); the performance of a contract, or steps taken at your request before entering into one; our legitimate interest in operating and promoting our business in a way that does not override your rights; and compliance with a legal obligation. You may withdraw your consent at any time (see “Your rights”).

5. Sharing your information

We do not sell your personal data, and we will not share it with third parties for their own marketing. We may share it only in these limited circumstances:

With trusted service providers who help us run our business — for example hosting, email and IT support — under confidentiality obligations and only as needed.
With our professional advisers where reasonably required.
With authorities, regulators or courts where we are required to do so by law.
With partners or sub-consultants engaged on your project, who are bound by confidentiality.

6. International transfers

Your personal data is primarily processed within the United Arab Emirates. Where a service provider processes data outside the UAE, we take reasonable steps to ensure it is protected to a standard consistent with this policy and applicable law.

7. How long we keep it

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out above — to handle your enquiry, deliver our services, and meet our legal and record-keeping obligations — after which it is securely deleted or anonymised.

8. How we protect it

We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against loss, misuse and unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, however, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may ask us to:

access the personal data we hold about you;
correct data that is inaccurate or incomplete;
delete your data where there is no lawful reason for us to keep it;
object to, or ask us to restrict, certain processing;
withdraw your consent where processing is based on consent;
receive a copy of the data you provided to us.

To exercise any of these rights, email info@gravitaspmc.com. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

10. Cookies and analytics

Our website uses only what is necessary for it to function and does not currently use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. If we introduce analytics or other cookies in the future, we will update this policy and, where required, ask for your consent.

11. Third-party links

Our website may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to review their own privacy policies.

12. Children’s privacy

Our website and services are directed at businesses and professionals, not children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The version in force is shown by the “Last updated” date near the top of this page; any material changes will be reflected here.
