Your information.
Handled with care.

Who handles your information

AALAM ADVA EVENTS & MARKETING, trading as ADVA, is based in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Contact inquiries@advaae.com about personal information, privacy choices or deletion requests. This notice describes the website and private workspaces currently offered by ADVA.

Information you choose to share

An enquiry may include your name, email, business name, project description, service choices, proposed budget, references and contact preferences. Accounts use an email address and authentication records. Creative profiles may include a display name, handle, location, skills, experience, availability, biography and portfolio links. The freelance application asks you to confirm that you are at least 18; it does not ask for a date of birth or age cohort.

Assigned project work may contain messages, media, feedback, schedules, agreements and administrative records. Share only information and work you have permission to provide. Do not put patient information, identity documents, passwords or payment details in an initial enquiry, profile or assistant message.

Why information is used

ADVA uses enquiry details to respond to your request and discuss a proposal. Account information supports sign-in, verification and access administration. Profile information supports review and suitable project opportunities; project records support agreed production, delivery and administration. Joining the network is an application, not an employment offer or a guarantee of paid work.

Consent choices are presented for the relevant purpose. Acknowledging the profile privacy notice is separate from choosing to save a draft on your device or allowing optional performance measurement. Where processing is needed for a requested agreement or a legal obligation, withdrawing an optional consent does not remove that separate need.

Visibility and private work

Workspace access depends on role, current permissions and project assignment. Creator profile and community visibility also depend on the applicable review, publication and sharing permissions; an account alone does not make every profile or project available. Client workspace access is currently closed. Private portfolio access is controlled separately by an access code and session.

ADVA administrators review and administer the information needed for their work. Only submit portfolio material you are authorised to share, and do not assume an upload is public. Where a reviewed confidentiality agreement is activated, acceptance records can include the account identity, agreement version and acceptance time.

Cookies and information on your device

Supabase account sessions are kept in browser local storage to maintain sign-in. A separate essential cookie remembers authorised private-portfolio access. Some account-scoped interface preferences and drafts use local or session storage. The cookies and device-storage notice explains these choices.

For up to 24 hours after an enquiry attempt, session storage may keep a random request reference, a one-way fingerprint of the exact submission and its creation time. It does not keep the name, email or brief itself. This lets an unchanged form safely check an unconfirmed delivery after a reload; changing the form creates a new reference, and confirmed delivery clears the record.

Saving an unfinished freelance application on this device is optional. The page clears the saved copy at its two-hour limit while it is open and running, without removing your open form. If the page is closed or cannot run, expired progress is discarded when the application next opens. You can turn device saving off, use Clear saved application or clear this site's browser data. Clearing device data does not delete a submitted profile or enquiry.

Optional performance measurement and essential diagnostics

First-party performance measurement is off until you opt in. If allowed, the site sends a random event reference, an LCP, INP or CLS performance measurement, its numeric value, a broad route group and a mobile or desktop category. This payload does not include your account, name, message, full page URL, query parameters or referrer.

When browser storage is available, your choice is remembered on this device for 180 days. Otherwise it applies only to the current page. Use Cookie preferences in the footer to change it; withdrawing permission stops further optional reports. Essential sanitised failure diagnostics remain separate and use technical categories, status or error codes and a random request reference. Hosting and security providers also receive the network information needed to serve requests, such as an IP address. These operational records are not optional performance reports.

The guided assistant and live AI

The guided project assistant does not send your general browsing activity to an AI service. If live AI is enabled and you deliberately send a message, your message, relevant recent conversation and project-idea context are sent to OpenAI to produce a reply. ADVA requests the Responses API with response storage disabled (store: false); this is not a promise of zero provider retention or processing.

The assistant is for ADVA project guidance. Do not send health records, identity documents, bank or payment details, passwords or confidential client material. It has no general access to private workspace records or client finances.

Providers and processing outside the UAE

Vercel hosts the website and Supabase stores website enquiries and provides account, database and private-file services. When you submit an enquiry directly, Resend receives the submitted enquiry details and your email as the reply address to notify inquiries@advaae.com. OpenAI is involved only when the live assistant is used. Some provider processing or hosting may take place outside the UAE. ADVA's review of applicable transfer arrangements and detailed retention schedules remains open before a wider launch.

Opening email, WhatsApp, social media or another external link takes you to a separate provider with its own terms and privacy practices. The current site does not use advertising trackers, cross-site tracking or embedded third-party social-media SDKs. Fonts and the platform brand icons are served locally.

Retention and deletion

Enquiries, accounts, project materials and related records are retained for their operational purpose and applicable legal needs. ADVA has not published a fixed server retention period for every record category. Retention and deletion are reviewed manually, including information held with service providers or in backups.

Some records may need to be preserved for contractual administration, legal obligations, security, disputes or the rights of others. A deletion request does not automatically erase every record or revoke another party's lawful records. ADVA will review what can be removed or restricted and explain any applicable limits. Device-storage choices have their own behaviour described above and in the cookies notice.

Your requests and choices

You can ask about the personal information held about you and its use, request access or a copy where applicable, correct inaccurate information, request deletion, or ask to restrict or stop certain processing. You can withdraw consent for processing based on that consent. Applicable legal exceptions and the rights of others may limit a request. Use the data-request page for the manual contact process.

If a concern is not resolved, you may raise it with the competent UAE authority under applicable law. This notice does not limit your statutory rights. It describes the current service; it is not a claim that the site's legal and operational review is complete.
