At Arabian Business Times, we take your privacy seriously — and we want to be upfront about how we handle your information. This page explains what we collect, why we collect it, and how we use it. No confusing legal jargon, just plain and honest communication.
Who We Are
Arabian Business Times (arabianbusinesstimez.com) is a business media publication focused on the Arabian and broader GCC region. We are not a generic content platform. Everything published on our website comes from real conversations with industry experts, business leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators. Our content includes exclusive interviews, entrepreneur success stories, net worth features, Top 10 rankings, expert insights, startup coverage, and business guides — all researched and produced with the goal of giving our readers real, grounded business intelligence.
If you have any questions about this policy, you can reach us directly at: editor@arabianbusinesstimes.com
What Information We Collect
We only collect information that helps us run our publication and serve our readers better. Here is what that looks like:
Information you give us directly
If you fill out a contact form, submit a story pitch, request an interview feature, or reach out to our editorial team, we collect whatever you share — your name, email address, company name, and the message you send. We use this only to respond to you and, if relevant, to follow up on editorial opportunities.
Information collected automatically
Like every website, we collect basic technical data when you visit — things like your IP address, browser type, the pages you read, and how long you stay. We use this to understand which topics our readers find most useful and to improve the website experience. We do not use this to build personal profiles or sell it to advertisers.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies — small files stored in your browser — to keep the site running smoothly and to understand general traffic patterns. You can turn cookies off in your browser settings, though some parts of the site may not work perfectly if you do.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
To respond to your messages, interview requests, or editorial enquiries. To understand which content areas — whether that’s Real Estate, Technology & AI, Startup & Innovation, or Women Leaders — are most valuable to our readers. To improve the overall performance and experience of our website. To send editorial updates or newsletters if you have opted in to receive them.
We do not sell your personal data. We do not share your information with third parties for their marketing purposes. We are a publication, not a data broker.
Third-Party Services We Use
To run our website, we rely on a small number of trusted third-party tools. These may include:
Google Analytics, which helps us understand website traffic. WordPress, the platform that powers our website. Email and communication tools for our editorial team. Social media platforms including Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram, which we use to distribute our content.
Each of these services has its own privacy policy that governs how they handle data. We encourage you to review their policies if you want to understand how they handle information at their end.
Links to Other Websites
Our articles and interviews sometimes link to external websites, partner publications, or the profiles of business leaders we feature. Once you leave arabianbusinesstimez.com, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We have no control over the content or privacy practices of those external sites.
How We Protect Your Information
We take reasonable steps to keep your data secure. Our website uses standard security practices to protect against unauthorized access. That said, no system is completely foolproof — no website can guarantee 100% security, and we want to be honest about that.
Your Rights
You have the right to ask us what personal data we hold about you, request that we correct or delete it, and opt out of any communications from us at any time. To exercise any of these rights, simply email us at editor@arabianbusinesstimes.com and we will get back to you promptly.
Children’s Privacy
Arabian Business Times is a professional business publication. Our content is intended for adults, business professionals, and entrepreneurs. We do not knowingly collect any information from anyone under the age of 18.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as our publication grows or as legal requirements change. When we do, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to check back occasionally so you are always informed.
Contact Us
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your information, we are always happy to hear from you.
