PRIVACY POLICY

Last Updated: 14 September 2026

Ackelle Media LLC (“Ackelle“, “we“, “us“, or “our“) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you provide to us and information collected when you use our website.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, and protect personal information when you visit or use ackelle.com (the “Website), contact us, request an appointment, communicate with us through our Website, or otherwise interact with our services.

By using the Website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.


1. WHO WE ARE

The Website is operated by:

Ackelle Media LLC

Website: ackelle.com

Privacy contact: Support@ackelle.com

For privacy-related questions, requests, or concerns, you may contact us at the email address above.


2. APPLICABLE DATA PROTECTION LAW

Ackelle operates in the United Arab Emirates and handles personal information in accordance with applicable UAE laws and regulations concerning privacy and personal data protection, including, where applicable, Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 Regarding the Protection of Personal Data, together with applicable implementing regulations and other laws that may apply to our activities.

The UAE government identifies Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 as part of the UAE’s data-protection framework.

Where another applicable data-protection law applies to particular processing activities, we will comply with that law to the extent required.


3. WHAT IS PERSONAL DATA?

For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Personal Data” generally means information that identifies, relates to, or could reasonably be associated with an identifiable individual.

Depending on how you interact with Ackelle, this may include information such as your name, email address, telephone number, company information, professional information, communications, appointment information, and technical information relating to your use of the Website.

5. CONTACT AND APPOINTMENT FORMS

Our Website uses forms to allow visitors to contact Ackelle and request appointments.

When you submit information through one of our forms, the information you provide may be stored within our WordPress website and may be accessible to authorized Ackelle personnel for the purpose of responding to your enquiry or managing your appointment.

Our Website currently uses SureForms for forms.

SureForms states that standard form submission data is stored on the website’s WordPress installation rather than on SureForms’ own servers.

Depending on the particular form and configuration, information submitted may include your name, email address, telephone number, company information, message, appointment preferences, and other fields displayed on the relevant form.

We use this information to:

  • respond to your enquiry;
  • communicate with you;
  • arrange or manage appointments;
  • understand your requirements;
  • provide requested information;
  • provide our services;
  • maintain appropriate business records; and
  • protect the Website against misuse or abuse.

Some form functionality may involve additional third-party integrations if those integrations are enabled on the relevant form. We do not intentionally activate third-party integrations for a form unless they are needed for the relevant functionality.


6. LIVE CHAT

Our Website may provide live-chat functionality through 3CX.

If you use the live-chat feature, information you voluntarily provide during the conversation may be collected and processed for the purpose of communicating with you, responding to your enquiry, providing customer support, and managing our business relationship.

Depending on the configuration of the live-chat service, technical information associated with the chat session may also be processed.

Please do not submit passwords, payment-card information, government identification numbers, or other highly confidential information through live chat unless we specifically request it through an appropriate secure process.

We do not require individuals to provide personal information unrelated to a legitimate campaign or business purpose.


13. INFORMATION FROM SOCIAL MEDIA

If you interact with Ackelle through social-media platforms or provide us with social-media information, we may process information made available to us through those platforms.

Social-media platforms operate independently and have their own privacy policies and terms.

Ackelle is not responsible for the privacy practices of social-media platforms outside our control.

We expect service providers handling Personal Data on our behalf to take appropriate measures to protect the information and process it only for authorized purposes.


15. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Our Website is built using WordPress and may use third-party plugins, services, hosting providers, integrations, and technical tools.

These may include, depending on the Website configuration:

  • Hostinger services;
  • SureForms;
  • 3CX;
  • WordPress;
  • Spectra;
  • SureRank;
  • security and technical maintenance tools;
  • and other services necessary to operate and maintain the Website.

Some installed WordPress plugins may provide functionality without independently receiving or storing visitor Personal Data.

We do not consider the mere installation of a plugin to mean that the plugin provider receives all information collected through the Website.

Third-party services may process information when their functionality is activated or used.

Where a third-party service processes Personal Data, its own privacy policy may also apply.


16. HOSTING AND WEBSITE INFRASTRUCTURE

Our Website is hosted using third-party hosting infrastructure.

Hosting providers may process technical information necessary to operate, secure, maintain, and deliver the Website.

This may include server logs, IP addresses, technical information, security information, and other information generated through normal Website operation.


17. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Some service providers used by Ackelle may operate or process information in countries outside the United Arab Emirates.

Where Personal Data is transferred outside the UAE, Ackelle will seek to ensure that the transfer and subsequent processing are carried out in accordance with applicable UAE data-protection requirements and other applicable laws.

Depending on the circumstances, this may involve appropriate contractual, organizational, technical, or other safeguards.


18. DATA RETENTION

We retain Personal Data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including:

  • responding to enquiries;
  • managing client relationships;
  • providing services;
  • managing campaigns;
  • maintaining business records;
  • complying with legal or regulatory obligations;
  • resolving disputes;
  • enforcing agreements; and
  • protecting our legal rights.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected.

When Personal Data is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it, subject to applicable legal, accounting, contractual, or operational requirements.


19. FORM SUBMISSIONS AND RETENTION

Information submitted through our Website forms may be retained within our WordPress environment for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to the enquiry, manage the relationship, provide services, maintain appropriate business records, or satisfy applicable legal obligations.

SureForms provides functionality allowing website administrators to manage and delete form entries and, depending on configuration, automatically delete entries after a specified period.

Ackelle may use appropriate retention and deletion practices for form submissions based on our business and legal requirements.


20. SECURITY

Ackelle takes reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect Personal Data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss, misuse, or destruction.

These measures may include:

  • access controls;
  • account security;
  • authentication controls;
  • software updates;
  • website security measures;
  • hosting security;
  • backups where appropriate;
  • restricted access to Personal Data;
  • and other reasonable technical and organizational safeguards.

However, no website, electronic transmission, database, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Accordingly, while we take reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee absolute security.


21. YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

When communicating with Ackelle, you should avoid providing unnecessary sensitive or confidential information through publicly accessible or ordinary Website forms.

You are responsible for ensuring that information you provide to us is accurate and that you have the appropriate authority to provide information relating to another person or organization.


22. SENSITIVE PERSONAL DATA

We generally do not request sensitive Personal Data through our Website.

Please do not submit sensitive information through a contact form, appointment form, or live chat unless it is specifically necessary and we have provided an appropriate method for doing so.

If sensitive information is provided voluntarily, we will handle it in accordance with applicable law.


23. CHILDREN’S DATA

Our Website and services are primarily intended for businesses, professionals, clients, influencers, creators, and other adults.

We do not knowingly seek to collect Personal Data from children where such collection is not permitted by applicable law.

If you believe that a child has provided Personal Data to Ackelle in circumstances where it should not have been collected, please contact us at:

privacy@ackelle.com

We will consider appropriate steps in accordance with applicable law.


24. MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

We may use contact information to communicate with you regarding services, enquiries, proposals, business matters, or other information relevant to our relationship with you.

Where applicable law requires consent for marketing communications, we will seek the required consent.

You may request that we stop sending marketing communications by contacting:

privacy@ackelle.com

You may also use an unsubscribe mechanism provided in a marketing communication where available.

Please note that we may continue sending non-marketing communications where reasonably necessary, such as communications relating to an existing business relationship, requested services, appointments, transactions, or legal matters.


25. DATA ACCURACY

We take reasonable steps to maintain accurate Personal Data where appropriate.

You should notify us if information you have provided to us changes or is inaccurate.


26. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS

Subject to applicable law and any applicable limitations or exceptions, you may have rights relating to your Personal Data, which may include rights to:

To make a privacy or Personal Data request, contact:

privacy@ackelle.com

Please include sufficient information for us to understand your request.

We may ask for additional information where reasonably necessary to verify your identity or clarify your request.

We will respond within the period required by applicable law.


28. WITHDRAWING CONSENT

Where we process your Personal Data based on consent, you may withdraw your consent by contacting:

privacy@ackelle.com

Withdrawal of consent does not necessarily make previous processing unlawful or prevent us from continuing to process information where another lawful basis applies.


29. DATA BREACHES AND SECURITY INCIDENTS

If Ackelle becomes aware of a Personal Data breach or security incident affecting Personal Data, we will assess the incident and take reasonable steps required under applicable law.

Depending on the nature and seriousness of the incident, this may include investigating the incident, taking steps to contain and remediate it, and making notifications to relevant authorities or affected individuals where required by applicable law.


30. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES

The Website may contain links to websites or platforms operated by third parties.

These third-party websites are outside Ackelle’s control.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or policies of third-party websites.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any third-party website before providing Personal Data.


31. CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS INFORMATION

Information submitted to Ackelle may include confidential business or commercial information.

Although we take reasonable measures to protect information entrusted to us, Website forms and ordinary electronic communications should not be treated as guaranteed secure channels for highly confidential information.

If you need to provide particularly sensitive business information, we may provide an alternative communication method where appropriate.


32. NO GUARANTEE OF ABSOLUTE SECURITY

While we use reasonable safeguards to protect Personal Data, no method of transmission over the internet and no electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Accordingly, Ackelle cannot guarantee that Personal Data will be immune from every possible security threat.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect:

  • changes to our services;
  • changes to our Website;
  • changes to technology;
