Information collected automatically
Our hosting provider processes the technical information needed to deliver and protect the website, such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested. We use your IP address briefly to limit repeated form submissions. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.
How we use your information
- To reply to your enquiry.
- To arrange, confirm and follow up on sessions you request.
- To send programme information you ask for.
- To send IGNITE updates if you subscribe. You can unsubscribe at any time.
- To run IGNITE Sell: to assess businesses that apply, prepare listings with their owners, review buyers’ requests, send approved buyers the confidential details of the listing they asked about, and make introductions between buyers and sellers.
- To keep the website secure and prevent misuse.
We do not sell your information or use it for advertising. On IGNITE Sell, a seller’s business details are shared only with buyers IGNITE has approved and as agreed with the seller, and a buyer’s details are shared with the seller only when IGNITE makes an introduction.
Who processes it for us
We rely on a small number of service providers, who may process information outside Oman:
- Resend delivers form submissions to our team by email, sends you a confirmation and may hold our newsletter list.
- Cloudflare hosts the website, stores IGNITE Sell records in the website’s database and helps protect our forms from spam.
- Google Fonts supplies some of the typefaces used on the site.
How long we keep it
Contact, booking and programme forms are not stored in a website database. They are kept in our email records for as long as we need them to respond to you and manage our relationship with you, and are then deleted. IGNITE Sell applications, access requests and buyer-list registrations are stored in the website’s database so IGNITE can manage them, for as long as we need them for the listing or enquiry, and are then deleted. Newsletter subscribers are kept until they unsubscribe.
Your choices
You can ask us to access, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to stop sending you updates, by emailing contact@igniteventures.om. We will respond within a reasonable time.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our website or services change. The date at the top shows when it was last updated.
