Who we are

Business Scale-Up UAE is an initiative by AlNser Holding. It is run by Scale UP Global Consultancy L.L.C – S.P.C, an AlNser Holding company based in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (“we”, “us”). We decide how your information is used and we are responsible for it. You can contact us about your information at info@scaleupuae.com.

What we collect

The details you give us in the registration form: your name, job title, business email, mobile number, LinkedIn profile, your company’s details, and your plans and needs for the UAE.
Details from our short call with you and from your attendance at the edition.
The reference code in your invitation link, which shows which organisation introduced you.

We do not ask for, and ask you not to share, sensitive information such as health details, identity numbers or financial account details. Dietary preferences are optional and used only for catering.

Why we use it

To consider your registration and decide, with you, whether the edition is a good fit.
To contact you, arrange a short call, and organise your attendance and any one-to-one meetings.
To follow up with you after the edition.
To tell the UAE mission or organisation that introduced you whether you registered and attended.
With your separate consent only: to introduce you to UAE institutions or partners, and to send you news about future editions and the Scale-Up Hub.
We use your information only for these purposes. We do not sell it, and we never share participant lists with anyone, including our partners.

Who we share it with

Your information may be shared with the Business Scale-Up UAE team within AlNser Holding; service providers who operate our website, registration and events under contract and only on our instructions; the UAE mission or organisation that introduced you, which we tell only whether you registered and attended; a UAE institution or partner, only where you have requested or agreed to an introduction and only to the extent needed for that introduction; and authorities where required by law. We take photographs from the back of the room so that participants are not easily identified and may use them in the edition report and on our website. If you prefer not to appear in any photograph, please tell our team on the day.

Where it is held

Your information is processed in the United Arab Emirates. Where it is transferred from the European Union, we apply appropriate safeguards to protect it.

How long we keep it

For twenty-four months after the edition you registered for, after which it is deleted, unless you participated in the programme or asked to hear about future editions, in which case we keep it until you ask us to stop.

Your rights

Withdraw any consent at any time, as easily as you gave it. This does not affect anything done before you withdrew it.
Ask for a summary of the information we hold about you and how we use it.
Ask us to correct, complete, update or delete your information.
Nominate another person to exercise these rights for you if you are unable to.
