Privacy Policy

Who we are

This website is the official executive profile of Sadik Allana, industrialist and business leader. It is operated by the Office of Sadik Allana (“the Office”, “we”, “us”), whose private secretariat works across India, UAE and UK.

We are responsible for the personal information described in this policy. You can reach us at info@sadikallana.com.

Scope of this policy

This policy explains how we handle personal information when you visit this website or write to the executive secretariat. It does not cover other websites, including those of the Private Office of Sadik Allana and the Heritage Family Office. Each of those operates its own website and privacy notice.

Information we collect

Information you send us

When you email the secretariat, we receive your name, email address and any other details you choose to include, such as your organisation, role, telephone number, the content of your message and any attachments.

Technical information

Like most websites, our hosting server automatically records basic technical information each time a page is requested: your IP address, browser and device type, the page requested, the referring page, and the date and time. We use these server logs only to operate the website, keep it secure and diagnose faults.

This website has no contact forms and does not run analytics, advertising or social-media tracking tools. We do not build visitor profiles.

Cookies

We do not use analytics or advertising cookies on this website. Our hosting, caching and security infrastructure may set strictly necessary technical cookies that help the site load reliably and protect it from abuse. These do not identify you personally and are not used for marketing.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The website will still work if you do.

Third-party services

To display the website, your browser loads a small number of files from trusted third-party providers. When it does, those providers receive your IP address and basic browser information, as with any web request:

• Google Fonts, which supplies the typeface used on the site.
• Cloudflare (cdnjs) and jsDelivr, which supply the open-source scripts that power the page animations.
• Hostinger, which hosts the website and its server logs.

The website also links to our official Instagram and LinkedIn pages, the Private Office of Sadik Allana and the Heritage Family Office. These open only when you choose to follow a link. Once you leave this website, the privacy policy of the site you visit applies.

How we use information

• To read and respond to your correspondence.
• To route your enquiry to the right place. Investment-related and other enquiries are handled by the Private Office of Sadik Allana.
• To coordinate institutional collaborations, philanthropic initiatives, and media and speaking requests.
• To operate, maintain and secure this website.
• To meet our legal and regulatory obligations and to establish or defend legal claims.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not use it for marketing without your consent.

Legal bases

Where the UK General Data Protection Regulation applies, we rely on our legitimate interests in responding to correspondence and running a secure website; on steps you ask us to take before entering into an arrangement; on legal obligations; and, where we ask for it, on your consent.

Where India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 or the UAE’s Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data applies, we process personal information on the grounds those laws permit, including your consent, which you give by writing to us, and the legitimate uses they recognise.

Who we share it with

• Members of the Office and its private secretariat who need it to deal with your matter.
• The Private Office of Sadik Allana, where your enquiry concerns investment or other matters it handles.
• Service providers who support us, such as email, hosting and IT providers, under confidentiality obligations.
• Professional advisers, such as lawyers and auditors, where necessary.
• Courts, regulators or law-enforcement authorities, where the law requires it.

All correspondence addressed to Sadik Allana is treated with strict professional discretion.

International transfers

The Office works across India, UAE and UK, and some of our service providers operate in other countries. Your information may therefore be processed outside the country in which you live. When we transfer it, we take steps to make sure it remains protected, in line with the applicable data protection laws.

How long we keep it

We keep correspondence for as long as needed to deal with your matter, and afterwards for a reasonable period for record-keeping, legal and accountability purposes. Server logs are kept only for a short period for security and are then deleted or overwritten.

Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) to this website and restricted access to correspondence. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so please avoid sending highly sensitive information by email unless we have agreed a secure method with you.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you;
• ask us to correct or complete it;
• ask us to delete it, or to restrict or stop processing it;
• object to processing based on our legitimate interests;
• receive it in a portable format;
• withdraw consent at any time, without affecting earlier processing;
• nominate another person to exercise your rights in the event of death or incapacity, where Indian law provides this.

To exercise any of these rights, email info@sadikallana.com. We may need to confirm your identity before acting on a request.

You can also complain to a data protection authority: in the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office; in India, the Data Protection Board of India; in the UAE, the UAE Data Office. We would appreciate the chance to resolve your concern first.

Children

This website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last changed. Significant changes will be highlighted on this page.
