As a premium platform providing verified 2026 UAE travel guides, luxury hotel deals, and smart travel finance strategies, we understand the importance of your data.

- Personal Data: Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes names, email addresses, location data, or online identifiers such as IP addresses.
- Processing: Any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, structuring, storage, adaptation, or retrieval.
- Data Controller: The natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Travel UAE by CKT acts as the Data Controller.
- Data Processor: A natural or legal person who processes personal data on behalf of the Data Controller.
- Consent: Any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she signifies agreement to the processing of personal data.
3. Data Controller and Contact Details
For the purposes of the GDPR, Travel UAE by CKT is the Data Controller of your personal information. If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle your data, you can reach out to our dedicated support team or our founder, Mizanur Rahman Hridoy, using the official contact channels provided at the end of this document.
4. What Personal Data We Collect
We collect personal data to provide a better, more personalized experience when you browse our luxury travel guides or seek financial travel advice. The data we collect falls into two main categories:
4.1 Automatically Collected Data
When you visit our website, our servers and third-party analytics tools automatically record certain information. This may include your IP address, browser type and version, time zone setting, browser plug-in types, operating system, and information about your browsing behavior (such as the specific hotel review pages or travel hack articles you view, and how long you stay on those pages). This data is collected using cookies and similar tracking technologies.
4.2 Data Provided Voluntarily
We may collect personal data that you voluntarily provide to us. This occurs when you subscribe to our travel newsletter, leave a comment on a blog post, or contact us directly via email for business inquiries or travel advice. This data typically includes your name, email address, and any specific details you choose to share in your communications.
5. Legal Basis for Processing Your Data
Under the GDPR, we must have a valid legal basis to process your personal data. We rely on the following lawful bases:
- Consent: You have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose, such as subscribing to our newsletter or accepting our use of advertising cookies.
- Legitimate Interests: The processing is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party), such as improving our website’s travel content, preventing fraud, and ensuring network security, provided those interests are not overridden by your data protection rights.
- Legal Obligation: The processing is necessary for us to comply with the law (not including contractual obligations).
6. How We Use Your Personal Data
We utilize the collected data for various operational and communicative purposes, including:
- To present our website and its content to you efficiently.
- To personalize your experience and deliver UAE travel and finance content that is most relevant to your interests.
- To communicate with you, respond to your inquiries, and provide customer support.
- To serve relevant advertisements through third-party networks (like Google AdSense) to keep our content free for all users.
- To monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities in connection with our website to improve our premium travel guides.
7. Data Sharing and Third-Party Disclosures
Travel UAE by CKT does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties. However, we may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving our users. These include:
- Advertising Partners: We use Google AdSense and other advertising networks. These third parties may use cookies and web beacons to collect non-personally identifiable information about your activities on this and other websites to provide you with targeted advertising based upon your interests.
- Analytics Providers: Tools like Google Analytics help us understand how visitors interact with our content.
- Hosting and Security: Service providers who host our servers and ensure our website remains secure from cyber threats.
All third-party data processors are carefully vetted and are legally obligated to protect your data in compliance with the GDPR and other applicable privacy laws.
8. International Data Transfers
Because the internet is a global environment, collecting and processing personal information may involve the transmission of data on an international basis. While our primary focus is UAE travel, our servers, analytics, and advertising partners may be located outside of the European Economic Area (EEA). Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, are in place.
9. Data Retention Policy
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. For example, if you subscribe to our newsletter, we will retain your email address until you choose to unsubscribe. Analytical and non-identifiable data may be kept indefinitely to help us understand long-term trends in UAE tourism search behavior.
10. Your Data Protection Rights Under GDPR
If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you have specific data protection rights. Travel UAE by CKT aims to take reasonable steps to allow you to correct, amend, delete, or limit the use of your Personal Data. Your rights include:
- The Right to Access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data from us.

We implement a variety of standard security measures, including SSL encryption, secure hosting environments, and regular malware scanning, to maintain the safety of your personal information. However, please remember that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
