Collection and Use of Information


Personal data you provide to us: As a general rule, we do not directly collect personal information (such as your name, address, phone number, or email address) through forms or registrations on our Website. The only personal data we receive is what you voluntarily provide when you choose to contact us through one of the channels listed on our “Contact Us” page — specifically via WhatsApp, LinkedIn, email, or phone. In such cases, you may provide personal data such as your name, email address, phone number, or any other information you include in your message. We will use this information exclusively for the following purposes:

  • Responding to your inquiries or requests: If you contact us with a question, request, or to arrange a consultation, we will use the information you provide to communicate with you and address your needs. For example, if you email us to ask about our services, we will use your email address to respond with the requested information.
  • Providing services: If you become our client or engage our consultancy services, any personal information you provide will be used to deliver those services, communicate regarding the services provided, and support our professional relationship in accordance with your requests and our contractual obligations.
  • Administrative and legal obligations: We may retain correspondence or contact details you provide for record-keeping purposes within the required legal retention periods. This helps us track communications and may sometimes be necessary to comply with legal or regulatory requirements (e.g., fulfilling record-keeping obligations or responding to legitimate government requests).
  • Browsing data: When you visit our Website without contacting us, we do not collect identifiable personal information such as your name or contact details. However, like most websites, we automatically collect certain technical and usage information. This may include your device’s IP address, browser type, language preferences, referring site, and timestamps of visits. We do not use this information to identify you individually; rather, it is used in aggregate for the legitimate purpose of understanding how our Website is used and improving the user experience. (See the “Google Analytics and Cookies” section below for more details on how this usage data is collected.)

We do not collect any sensitive personal data through the Website. We also do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 18. If you are under 18, please obtain permission from a parent or guardian before contacting us or providing any personal information. By contacting us, you represent that you have obtained such permission. Without prejudice to the rights of individuals under the age of 21 in contracting, if they enter into agreements within the limits of earned income, additional approvals may be required if the contracting party is under the age of 21.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We respect your privacy and handle your personal information carefully. We will only share personal data in the following circumstances:

  1. With your consent: If you explicitly request or agree to share information with a third party, we will do so only for the specific purposes you approved. For example, if you request that we collaborate with another company or expert within a consultancy framework and share relevant information, we will do so with your permission.
  2. Service providers (processors): We may share certain data with trusted third-party service providers who perform functions on our behalf and under our instructions. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information either by the nature of their profession or by signing a non-disclosure agreement. This may include, but is not limited to:
    1. IT and hosting services: Our Website is hosted on servers or cloud services that may incidentally process technical data (such as server logs containing IP addresses).
    1. Analytics providers: For example, we use Google Analytics, a third-party service provided by Google, which acts as our data processor for analyzing Website usage data. Google may process some usage data (as described in the “Google Analytics and Cookies” section) to provide us with aggregated statistics.
    1. Email/communication tools: If you contact us by email, your message is processed by our email service provider, which may be a third-party platform (such as Microsoft Outlook/Exchange, Gmail for Business, or others). Similarly, if you contact us through WhatsApp or LinkedIn, those communications pass through those platforms. We make every effort to select reputable providers who adhere to strong privacy and security standards.
      In all cases where we engage service providers, we take due care to safeguard the confidentiality of your information.
  3. Legal obligations and protection: We may disclose personal information if required to do so under Kuwaiti law or any other applicable law, or pursuant to an order or judgment from a competent court or authority.
  4. Business transfers: In the event of a business transfer involving The Edge for Economic Consultancy — such as a merger or acquisition — within the limits of the law.

Data Security

We take data security seriously and have implemented reasonable and appropriate measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. We periodically review data collection and storage facilities and security controls, including security procedures, to prevent any unauthorized access to systems and to restrict employee access to personal data.

Transmission of information via any unsecured electronic channels is inherently risky; therefore, sending your information through such channels is entirely at your own responsibility.

User Rights

You may request that we delete the personal data we hold about you in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of Kuwait, unless retaining the information is required under legal obligations or for legitimate business purposes (e.g., retaining correspondence to demonstrate compliance with advice provided, or to comply with the law).

Updates to the Privacy Policy

We may update or revise this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or to ensure compliance with legal requirements, or for operational or regulatory reasons. If material changes occur, we will notify you by posting a prominent notice on our Website.

Thank you for trusting The Edge for Economic Consultancy W.L.L. with your information. We value your privacy and are committed to protecting it. If you have additional questions or require clarification about any aspect of this Policy, please do not hesitate to contact us using the details provided above.
