Privacy Policy

At RIADVICE SUARL, we respect the privacy rights of users and recognize the importance of protecting your information.
This Privacy Notice explains how information (including personal data as defined under the General Data Protection Regulation, “GDPR”) is collected, retained, used, disclosed, and transferred by RIADVICE, and the available choices you have regarding your personal information.

This Privacy Notice applies to information collected, used, or shared by RIADVICE when you use or access our websites, products, mobile applications, or services (collectively, the “SahabDrive Services”), including when you attend a RIADVICE event or otherwise interact with us.

If you use the SahabDrive Services as part of a business, an entity, or a non-profit (collectively, “Organization”) that has an agreement with RIADVICE, then the terms of that agreement between the Organization and RIADVICE will supersede this Privacy Notice where the terms overlap.

We may change this Privacy Notice from time to time. If we make any changes, we will revise the date at the top of this Privacy Notice. If there are material changes, we may notify you or your Organization more directly by email or post a notice on SahabDrive’s website prior to the changes becoming effective. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Notice to stay informed about our data protection practices and the ways you can help protect your privacy.
