PrivacyPolicy.

MEK Architecture (“MEK”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a multidisciplinary architecture and design studio based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. We are the controller responsible for the personal information processed through this website. If you have any questions about this policy, contact us at info@mek.com.

We only collect information that you choose to give us, or that is necessary to respond to your enquiry. This includes:

• Contact details you submit through our enquiry form — such as your name, company, email address, phone number, and project location.
• The content of your message and any details you share about your project or brief.
• Basic technical data your browser sends automatically, such as IP address, device and browser type, and the pages you view, used to keep the site secure and functioning.

We use the information you provide to:

• Respond to your enquiry and correspond with you about it.
• Assess, scope, and discuss a potential project or collaboration.
• Maintain records of our communications with you.
• Operate, secure, and improve our website. We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling, and we do not sell it.

Where the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021) or the EU/UK GDPR applies, we process your data on the basis of your consent (which you give by submitting the enquiry form) and our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries and running our studio. You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us.

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share it only with trusted service providers who help us operate — for example, our email and website hosting providers — and only to the extent needed to deliver those services. We may also disclose information where required by law or to protect our legal rights.

We keep enquiry correspondence for as long as needed to address your request and to maintain a record of our dealings, after which it is deleted or anonymised. If a project does not proceed, we retain your message only for a reasonable period unless you ask us to delete it sooner.

We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your information against loss, misuse, and unauthorised access. No method of transmission over the internet is entirely secure, but we take reasonable steps to safeguard the data you share with us.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, to object to or restrict its processing, and to withdraw consent. To exercise any of these rights, email info@mek.com. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

Our website uses only the cookies necessary for it to function. If we introduce analytics or other non-essential cookies in future, we will update this policy and, where required, ask for your consent first.

We are based in the United Arab Emirates, and some of our service providers may process data in other countries. Where personal information is transferred outside your jurisdiction, we take steps to ensure it remains protected in line with applicable law.

Our website and services are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with their data, please contact us so we can remove it.

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or the law. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised. Material changes will be reflected here.
