Abu Dhabi Things To Do

Privacy policy

Last updated: 7 October 2026

This policy explains what personal data Abu Dhabi Things To Do (abudhabi-thingstodo.com) processes, why, and what rights you have. The site is operated by Abu Dhabi Things To Do ("we", "us").

Who is responsible

Abu Dhabi Things To Do is the controller of personal data processed through this website. You can reach us using the contact details on this site.

What we collect and why

We don't ask you to create an account, and we don't sell personal data. We process only:

  • Technical and security logs — IP address, browser type, requested pages and time — processed by our hosting and content-delivery providers to deliver the site and protect it against abuse. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in running a secure website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Logs are kept only as long as needed for these purposes.
  • Your cookie choice — a first-party cookie ("site_consent") that remembers whether you accepted third-party content, stored for 6 months. It is strictly necessary to respect your choice.

Third-party content (only with your consent)

Some features are provided by other companies. They load only after you choose "Accept all" in the cookie banner (or "Allow" on the feature itself):

  • Google Maps (Google Ireland Ltd.) — interactive maps. Google receives your IP address and may set cookies.

Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw it at any time via "Cookie settings" in the footer; this doesn't affect processing before the withdrawal.

Affiliate links

This site contains affiliate links. When you click one, you leave our site and the partner's privacy policy applies. The partner may use cookies to record that you came from us, so we can be paid a commission if you book. We receive aggregated reports about bookings, not your name, contact or payment details.

International transfers

Some providers (such as Google and our content-delivery network) may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where they do, they rely on safeguards recognised under the GDPR, such as the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

Your rights

Under the GDPR and similar laws you can ask for access to, correction or deletion of your personal data, restrict or object to its processing, request portability, and withdraw consent at any time. You also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority, in particular in the country where you live.

To exercise your rights, contact us using the contact details on this site.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 16, and we don't knowingly collect their data.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our site or the law changes. The date at the top shows the latest version.
