Privacy policy

Who we are

This website, znakos.com, is operated by Nextwrks, based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates ("we", "us"), as the controller of personal data collected through it. ZnakOS is our platform for delivering signed road-condition messages to vehicles. You can reach us at legal@znakos.com.

What this policy covers

This policy covers personal data we handle through this public website. Pilots, trials and commercial services are covered by their own agreements, which may describe additional processing.

What we collect

• Early access list. If you join, we store your email address, your role, an optional organisation name, your chosen language, a personal referral code, the referral code of the person who invited you (if any), and the date and time.
• Messages to us. If you email us, we keep the message and your address to reply.
• Server logs. Our web server records your IP address, the time, the page requested, the response status and your browser type. We use these to keep the site secure and working.
• Preferences on your device. Your theme choice is saved in your browser. It stays on your device and is not sent to us.

We do not use advertising or analytics cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party fonts, scripts or maps on this site. The simulation on the "Try it" page runs entirely in your browser and sends nothing to us.

Why we use it, and our legal basis

• To manage the early access list and contact you about it: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
• To rank the list using referrals: your consent, and our legitimate interest in running the programme fairly.
• To secure and operate the site, and to prevent abuse: our legitimate interests.
• To meet legal obligations and respond to lawful requests from authorities.

We handle personal data in line with the UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data. Where the EU or UK General Data Protection Regulation applies to you, the legal bases above are those of that regulation.

Who we share it with

We do not sell personal data. We use service providers who process data on our instructions, such as our hosting provider and our email provider. We may disclose data if the law requires it. We never show your email address to other people on the list.

The share buttons on the early access page open third-party services (X, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook) only when you click them. Their own privacy policies then apply.

International transfers

Our servers and providers may be located outside the UAE or your country. Where we transfer personal data across borders, we do so with appropriate safeguards required by applicable law.

How long we keep it

• Early access data: until you ask us to delete it, or 24 months after our last contact with you, whichever comes first.
• Server logs: up to 30 days, unless needed longer to investigate abuse.
• Emails to us: for as long as needed to deal with your request, and then for a reasonable period for our records.

Your rights

You may ask us to access, correct or delete your personal data, to restrict or object to its processing, to withdraw your consent, and to receive a copy of the data you gave us in a portable form. Write to legal@znakos.com. We aim to reply within 30 days. You may also complain to the UAE Data Office or, if you are in the EU or UK, to your local data protection authority.

Security

This site is served over encrypted connections. Early access data is stored separately from the ZnakOS platform, access is limited to those who need it, and we apply a strict content security policy to the site. No system is perfectly secure, and we will tell affected people and the authorities where the law requires.

Children

This site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect their personal data. If you believe a child has joined the list, contact us and we will delete the entry.

Changes

We may update this policy. The date at the top shows the latest version. If we make a material change, we will say so on this page.
